Michael B. Jordan is now the sixth Black actor to win Best Actor in a Leading Role at the #Oscars
Joining Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Forest Whitaker and Will Smith.
Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC.
To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is.
And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.
WONDER MAN garnered 549.6 million minutes of watch time in its first 10 days of streaming, which is lower than most of the Disney+ debuts of live-action #MCU shows...

John Davidson says he is “deeply mortified” that anyone thought his involuntary tics were “intentional or to carry any meaning.”
Full statement:
“I wanted to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend the broadcast. I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of the recording, warning everyone that my tics are involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs.
I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement and felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me. In addition to the announcement by Alan Cumming, the BBC and BAFTA, I can only add that I am, and always have been deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning.
I was in attendance to celebrate the film of my life, I SWEAR, which more than any film or TV documentary, explains the origins, condition, traits and manifestations of Tourette Syndrome. I have spent my life trying to support and empower the Tourette’s community and to teach empathy, kindness and understanding from others and I will continue to do so. I chose to leave the auditorium early into the ceremony as I was aware of the distress my tics were causing.”
Timothée Chalamet uses his acceptance speech for his first-ever Critics Choice Award to praise his fellow nominees
“Michael, unbelievable [performance] I just rewatched ‘Sinners’, I hadn’t seen that credits scene, I’m glad I stuck around the second time”
It's interesting that in sports everyone openly says "I'm gonna be the best, I want to win everything" - whereas the performing arts are a hugbox where it's more common to have an Aww Shucks attitude and pretend you're just lucky. People get mad if you violate the Aww Shucks.
