Jordan won the second Actor Award of his career, taking home the male actor in a leading role statue for playing twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the supernatural thriller “Sinners.” Jordan scored a trophy in 2019 for best ensemble for “Black Panther.” Moments after he took the stage, he returned as a winner for the same ensemble award at this year’s ceremony for “Sinners.” Related Stories Harry Styles Brings Disco to the BRIT Awards With First-Ever Performance of 'Aperture' Harry Styles to Curate and Perform at London’s Meltdown Festival Jordan was nominated at this year’s Actor Awards, formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, alongside Timothee Chalamet (“Marty Supreme”), Leonardo DiCaprio (“One Battle After Another”) Ethan Hawke (“Blue Moon”) and Jesse Plemons (“Bugonia”). “I’m so honored and privileged to be nominated in categories with people, actors and humans that I love,” Jordan said. “I love their work and what you contribute to to our craft. This ride has been unbelievable. So thank you for welcoming me and making me feel seen.” Popular on Variety “Sinners” is the fifth collaboration between Jordan and director Ryan Coogler following “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed” and two “Black Panther” movies. Jordan pulls off double duty in the 1930s-set “Sinners,” playing identical twins Smoke and Stack who return home to the South after World War I and open a juke joint… only for vampires to descend on the small town. The film, which earned a record 16 nominations at the Oscars, is up for five prizes at the Actor Awards. In addition to awards glory, “Sinners” has been a box office hit with $369 million globally. “Thank you, Ryan Coogler, for giving me the opportunity to show what I can do, and to be fearless and to create a safe space for us to find the truth,” Jordan concluded before shouting out his co-stars. “Thank you for allowing me to do my best work. Just being in this room right now with all these people who have seen me grow up in front of the camera and in these rooms… and I feel the love and support that you’ve always given me and encouraged me to do my best. Man, it’s pretty cool.” More to come… Jump to Comments Taylor Swift’s ‘Opalite’ Reaches No. 1, Putting Her in a Tie for Third Place for the Most Hot 100 Leaders Ever Taylor Swift Dances and Dates a Rock in ‘Opalite’ Music Video With Domhnall Gleeson, Greta Lee, Jodie Turner-Smith and More Taylor Swift’s ‘The Fate of Ophelia’ Becomes Her Longest-Running No. 1 on Singles Chart Bad Bunny Gets His First Solo No. 1 on the Hot 100 With ‘DtMF,’ One of Four Songs He Has in Top 10 Post-Super Bowl Taylor Swift Slams ‘It Ends With Us’ Director Justin Baldoni as a ‘Bitch’ In Text With Blake Lively Led by Taylor Swift, U.S. Vinyl Sales Rose for 19th Consecutive Year in 2025: Luminate Year-End Report JavaScript is required to load the comments.
