…if he’d blurted out the following upon winning SAG’s Best Actor award last night:
“Yo…whoa. I can’t…okay, I’ll just spit it out. This is about last weekend in London, right?
“Don’t get me wrong — I’ll take it, I love it. I think I gave a rock-solid, kick-ass performance in Sinners, and that guy shouting what he shouted when Delroy and I were on-stage at the BAFTAs…it’s okay, man, but let’s cut the shit. The guy has a condition but what he said came from inside. You know it, I know it, Jamie Foxx knows it and that’s probably why I’m standing here right now. You guys want to feel good about yourselves. I get it, and, like I said, I’ll take it.
“Do you guys really think I’m a more deserving recipient of this award than Ethan Hawke or Timothee Chalamet? Of course you don’t, but you want to feel good about yourselves and that’s fine. From my perspective, a win is a win is a win.”
