Michael B Jordan has dealt a surprise blow to the Oscars best-actor race after a commanding night at the Actor Awards — the ceremony formerly known as the Screen Actors Guild Awards — where his vampire horror Sinners picked up the top honours.
Jordan was named best actor for his performance, and Sinners also took home best ensemble, the night’s most coveted prize. The double win gives the US star a surge of momentum in the final weeks before the Academy Awards, and reshapes what had been one of the more settled categories of this year’s season.
