It’s strange that they would go for Damson Idris for supporting actor when Delroy Lindo has at least been in the conversation for awards. Still, it’s a rather weak category this year. Everything else is about as expected. Awards Tallies (8) Sinners (2) Hedda (1) Black Man, Black Man, F1: The Movie, Hoops, Hopes &

Every week, we’ll take a look back at how Oscar-nominated films performed at the box office. Due to the lack of data prior to 1980, some of these early years may have minimal information.
