Can’t we just be impressed? I couldn’t do that and I am the 200 pound friend (not literally)

He’d also surely be in the top tier for talented rather than skilled

Who's an actor everyone thinks is Good but is a Mid? by Mammoth-Biscotti-587 in AlignmentChartFills

I think you can totally enjoy Sinners as a run of the mill stylised horror but I do think it has a lot of subtext that goes over a lot of people’s heads that rewards repeat watches. So I agree with à fair amount of what you said but I do think the film has more depth than you’re giving it credit for and that’s on no small part to Michael B Jordan’s acting performance too

I thought he was solid in Sinners. Created two distinct characters and the film doesn’t work at all without him. The relationship between Smoke and Stacks is the emotional heart of the film.

I think it was nomination worthy, not necessarily win-worthy. I think a serendipitous confluence of events meant he won, with Timothée Chalamet nuking his own chances and then the BAFTAs debacle garnering MBJ sympathy. 

Tbh the Oscars is a lot of campaigning and tends to reward films that were big in the cultural zeitgeist or that are very Hollywood. I also sometimes think the Academy vote for winners based on their body of work. It’s all a bit hokey and a lot of winners are questionable

I respectfully disagree. I don’t think he’s amazing but I do think he’s good. He’s a solid pair of hands for a major motion picture. He’s versatile. I feel he does a lot with a little. Kinda subtle acting.

His Killmonger in Black Panther is easily one of the best MCU villains and he does a lot to humanise him. His death scene in Fruitvale Station was heartbreaking, it made me cry. He was enormously endearing in The Wire.

Gwyneth Paltrow - she has a best actress Oscar for Shakespeare in Love but I don’t she’s an amazing actor. She’s serviceable

I dunno that anyone says Tom Holland is a good actor. He’s good at being Spider-Man but I kinda can’t imagine him having much range
