RDJ to win at Oscar 2024, assumes Sterling K. Brown

According to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Sterling K. Brown discussed his Oscar 2024 nomination and hinted that he would lose to Robert Downey Jr. while complimenting the actor on his playing abilities. At the 2024 Academy Awards, Mark Ruffalo, Ryan Gosling, Robert De Niro, Sterling K. Brown, and Robert Downey Jr. are vying for best supporting actor.

“Robert Downey Jr. is going to win, and he’s incredibly deserving,” Brown said of the ‘Oppenheimer’ star and his fellow nominee. “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.”
The actor, who is up for best-supporting actor for his performance in American Fiction, recently said on The Graham Norton Show, “There’s no losing yet — it’ll happen in its own due time.”

Brown went on to suggest that “Colman [Domingo] will probably win,” and added, “I know I’m not going to win.” Domingo was also a guest on the BBC show, as well as scored a Best Leading Actor Oscar nomination for Rustin.

The ‘This Is Us’ actor said he is “totally fine” if he does not win the trophy at Oscar 2024, despite Graham Norton and the other guests pushing back and assuring him that he still has a good chance of winning.
Last month, Brown stated that he believed the Cord Jefferson-directed film, which was adapted from Percival Everett’s 2001 novel Erasure, “was one of the best scripts I’d ever read.”

“It was able to make fun of an industry and also challenge it to say there are ways in which you could be better,” he said of American Fiction. “You are narrow in terms of Black life that you are willing to portray for mass consumption. I’m going to tell you that, and at the same time, I’m going to give you an idea of other stories that would be viable for mass consumption,” reported The Hollywood Reporter.
