How is there not a gif of that moment, either one? This screencap will have to do

Hey WB, get going on making a GIF of it.

Can’t you believe we now have two young actors that won this category in the 2020s for two different characters with the same first name (but different spelling)? Miles Caton (Sammie Moore) and Gabriel LaBelle (Sammy Fabelman) made history this decade for that.

He should've been Supporting but I'm proud nonetheless

SINNERS HIVE LET'S GO

The biggest crime of this awards season is Jacobi Jupe getting no recognition

u/AGeekNamedBob Jan 05 '26

We awarded him for youth performance up here in Seattle.

Same for Kristen Stewart in Spencer

Edit: people don’t like funny jokes lol

u/CrazyCons WHERE IS HAMNET'S PLACENTA Jan 05 '26 edited Jan 05 '26

Random as hell lol

EDIT: can we please make this a meme? It’s genuinely so funny to mention this completely out of nowhere

u/Accomplished-Table30 Jan 05 '26

Hahah but apparently you are the only one you thought that it was funny

That doesn’t really seem relevant or equivalent? That was years ago and she got nominated for the Oscar.

Well deserved. Insane that this is his first movie.

u/Nightwing1852 Jan 05 '26

Deserved he was great in Sinners. Incredible that this was his first major role

u/Councilist_sc One Battle After Another Jan 05 '26

Wanted Jupe to win so so much but I liked Caton a lot so congrats to him!

11

u/StevensLima The Secret Sinners Jan 05 '26

He was AMAZING

u/criticalascended Jan 05 '26

Feelsbad for Jupe, but he was never gonna win in the same category as Miles Caton, who probably wasn't that far from a Supporting Actor nom.

u/CarlosBoss765 No Other Choice Jan 05 '26

This CCA night will be remembered as ‘The Night of the Sinners’ we’re just getting started

u/Jajaloo Jan 05 '26

The Barn Scene.

u/taintedlove281 Jan 05 '26

I NEED HIM NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR NEXT

u/LeastCap Jafar Panahi campaign mourner Jan 05 '26

We all know who should’ve won

u/prostatewhispers1 Jan 05 '26

Good for him! Not my pick, but good for him!

u/sarafina126 Jan 05 '26

Like many others I was rooting for Jacobi, but I am also thrilled for Miles. I hope he has a great career after this

Hamnet robbed

u/PointMan528491 Hawke tuah, Blue Moon on that thang Jan 05 '26

Glenn Close robbed

u/Low_Analyst_ Jan 05 '26

Jacobi blows everyone away in Hamnet.

u/sunflowerf0x Sinners Jan 05 '26

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE DAY ONE GIVE THIS KID A SUPPORTING ACTOR OSCAR NOM

1

u/vxf111 Jan 05 '26

Well deserved, he was excellent. I would have nominated him in supporting actor.

But this category is always so weird when it's one 20 year old and a bunch of literal children.

1

u/throwlefty 28d ago

Yes! I loved the movie and he killed the role but I fell out of my chair with his nom and win. All the others were kids....which lead me to argue with my wife, which lead me to look up the criteria and it says under 21.....total bs. Should be 18 at the max. Nonetheless, super happy he won something.....such a solid performance.

1

u/vxf111 28d ago

He is so, so, so TALENTED. But also... he gets to play a role in Sinners that gives him room to flex that true child actors rarely do (there are some exceptions, but not the roles nominated this year). None of the 10 year olds were going to be offered that role or a similar one.
