Michael B Jordan has won the best actor Oscar for Sinners at the 98th Academy Awards.
This is Jordan’s first Oscar, for which he triumphed over a strong field including Timothée Chalamet for Marty Supreme, Ethan Hawke for Blue Moon and Leonardo DiCaprio for One Battle After Another.
“God is good,” said Jordan on stage. “God is good.” He then addressed his mother, with whom he had been sitting in the stalls, and shouted out to the rest of his family, sitting elsewhere.
