In a recent guest appearance on 'The Graham Norton Show,' actor Sterling K. Brown humbly expressed his expectations for the upcoming Oscars. Despite receiving a nomination for best actor in a supporting role for his portrayal of Clifford Ellison in 'American Fiction,' Brown does not anticipate taking home the coveted trophy. However, his graciousness towards his fellow actors is admirable.
Brown confidently stated that fellow nominee Robert Downey Jr. would claim victory and added that he genuinely believes Downey Jr. is deserving of the honor. He expressed immense gratitude for being nominated alongside esteemed actors such as Robert De Niro, Ryan Gosling, and Mark Ruffalo, remarking that he is simply happy to be in their company. This display of humility is refreshing in an industry that often emphasizes competition over camaraderie.
