Michael B. Jordan ('The Sinners')

Taking advantage of the wave of 16 nominations of 'The Sinners' Michael B. Jordan, star of Ryan Coogler's award-winning film. Having become one of Hollywood's stars a few years ago, Jordan is in his first Oscar nomination but you can bet it certainly won't be his last, not least because he has become the favourite in a category in which many took Timothée Chalamet's victory for granted until a few weeks ago. Would he deserve it? We prefer other names (Wagner Moura above all) but it would certainly not be a statuette given away.
