“He’s incredibly deserving”: Sterling K. Brown Predicts the Winner Between Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Gosling for Best Supporting Actor
American actor Sterling K. Brown is a phenomenal star. He has been a recipient of multiple accolades like Golden Globe Awards and Primetime Emmy Awards. The 47-year-old actor was recently nominated for the Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actor category for American Fiction. He played the character of a plastic surgeon Clifford Ellison, the brother of the protagonist Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, played by the iconic actor Jeffrey Wright.
However, Sterling K. Brown believes he will not win the Academy Award for the best-supporting actor for American Fiction as he predicts that Robert Downey Jr. will be securing the spot.
Sterling K. Brown Predicts Either Robert Downey Jr. And Ryan Gosling Are Bringing The Academy Award For Best Supporting Actor
During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, American Fiction actor Sterling K. Brown spoke about his Academy Awards nomination and the tough competition he has been subjected to with respect to Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Gosling in the race for Best Supporting Actor. The American actor believes that he is not bringing the black lady home. He is competing with talented actors like Robert De Niro for Killers Of The Flower Moon, Mark Ruffalo for Poor Things, Robert Downey Jr. for Oppenheimer, and Ryan Gosling for Barbie. `
While talking about the possibility of bringing an Oscar home, Brown said-
“Robert Downey Jr. is going to win, and he’s incredibly deserving. He’s an incredible actor. You should give him love. And the fact that I get a chance to be nominated along with him and Mr. [Robert] De Niro and Ryan Gosling and [Mark] Ruffalo, I’m just happy to be in the room.”
Graham Norton even added-
“On the night, this will all be very humble. I can’t believe I won!’”
Sterling K. Brown’s fans are rooting for him and believe that the talented actor has a fair chance of winning the Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actor category. American Fiction revolves around the character of Monk played by Jefferey Wright, a novelist who is frustrated with the establishment that banks on the profits from Black Entertainment that relies on offensive tropes and to prove his point Monk picks up a pen and paper.
Sterling K. Brown Talks About The Character Of Cliff From American Fiction
During an interview with the reputed media outlet Screenrant, Sterling K. Brown was present with Jeffrey Wright. The actor duo spoke about American Fiction and their respective characters. While talking about Cliff, Brown spoke about the transformative side of the character. He said-
“I think I was aware of what Cliff was going through in terms of just wanting to live life as his most authentic self. And I think that happiness is only truly accessible when you are able to access all of who you are and share all of who you are with the people that love you.”
He further shared-
“I’m an artist and so I felt in my family it is not a family of artists, but working class people who do jobs, I’ve always been seen as sort of odd or different. So that sort of longing for community from the people who are supposed to be your community has always been something that’s been of interest to me.”
Jeffrey Wright chipped in and said-
” You? Odd, different?”
To which, Brown replied-
“I think I’m fairly regular. I think I was regular, but to them, they’re like, “Oh, you Hollywood now, baby.” So those two sort of point of entries were fairly easy to tap into. Also, the youngest brother too. So that helps.”
American Fiction can be streamed on Prime Video.
