I'm Corey with the story, bringing you the latest in entertainment and pop culture.
Michael B. Jordan took home the Best Actor Oscar at the 98th Academy Awards for his role in Cinners.
The 39-year-old beat-out strong competition from Leonardo DiCaprio, Wagner Mora, Ethan Hawk, and Timothy Chalame.
Sinners made history with 16 nominations the most for any single film and picked up four awards that night.
Jordan shared thoughts on his journey in the press room, crediting his father's advice to
just do the work and let results follow. He talked about staying focused in a competitive industry
while believing what's meant for you will come. He encouraged other artists to dream big,
stay honest, and put good energy out there. Earlier this year, Chalemay seemed like the frontrunner
after wins at the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards. But Jordan made a late push,
grabbing the Actor Awards trophy on March 1st. Meanwhile, one battle after another led the night
with six Oscars, including Best Picture.
In his acceptance speech, Jordan honored trailblazers like Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington,
and others who paved the way.
He thanked his family, director Ryan Coogler, who won Best Original Screenplay,
plus co-stars, Won Mimosaku and Haley Steinfeld.
Senors also scored for cinematography and original score.
Looking ahead, Jordan directs and stars in a remake of the 1968 classic, The Thomas Crown Affair.
Fans are already buzzing about his next moves after this big win.
