Oscar Nominee Sterling K. Brown Bets Robert Downey Jr. Will Beat Him
HuffPost
The "This Is Us" alum received his first-ever Oscar nomination last month for his performance in "American Fiction."
Sterling K. Brown isn’t so sure he’ll be winning an Oscar this year.
The “American Fiction” star received his first-ever nomination from the Academy Awards last month for Best Supporting Actor but, during a humble showing on “The Graham Norton Show” Friday, said Robert Downey Jr. already has that trophy in the bag.
“Downey Jr.’s gonna win, and he’s incredibly deserving, he’s an incredible actor,” Brown told Norton. “Like, you should give him love. The fact that I get a chance to be nominated along with Mr. De Niro and Ryan Gosling and [Mark] Ruffalo, I’m just happy to be in the room.”
Brown appeared on the British talk show alongside actors Dakota Johnson, Domhnall Gleeson and Colman Domingo, and quipped that the latter, who was nominated as best actor for his performance in “Rustin,” will “probably win” over Brown in his own bracket, if not Downey Jr.
Brown remains best known as one of the leads in “This Is Us,” which ran for six seasons from 2016 to 2022 and resulted in five Emmy nominations and one Golden Globe nod for the actor.
