Sterling K Brown believes he will lose Oscar to RDJ
The 96th Academy Awards ceremony is just over a month away! Out of all the categories, one of the most interesting is the Best Supporting Actor. This time, Sterling K Brown has earned his first-ever Oscar nomination for American Fiction and will be competing with Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer), among others, in this category. Recently, Brown admitted he thinks that the "incredibly deserving" Downey Jr. will take home the trophy.
This is what Brown said about RDJ
Brown recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show where he said, "[Downey Jr.'s] gonna win, and he's incredibly deserving. He's an incredible actor. Like, you should give him love." "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." He added that he's "totally fine" losing to RDJ.
Brown believes Colman Domingo will also win
Brown further added that Colman Domingo, who has earned a nomination in the Best Actor category for Rustin, will possibly clinch the golden statuette.
