AceShowbiz - The hosts of The View have shared their Oscar predictions, strongly backing Michael B. Jordan and the film Sinners to dominate the upcoming awards season. The panel believes that Jordan is poised to win Best Actor and that the film itself will sweep several categories.
Sunny Hostin expressed confidence in Sinners, highlighting its record number of Oscar nominations. She also mentioned key contenders like Ruth Carter for costume design and Ryan Coogler for director, noting that Coogler could make history as the first Black director to win the Oscar in that category. Hostin emphasized that Michael B. Jordan deserves the Best Actor award for his dual roles in the film.
Adding to the conversation, Ana Navarro suggested that Frankenstein should also receive recognition, particularly for its costume design and praised Jacob Elordi’s performance. Navarro believes director Guillermo del Toro should win Best Director for his work on the film.
The panel then debated the Best Actor race between Michael B. Jordan and Timothée Chalamet. While Chalamet recently faced criticism for remarks about opera and ballet, Jordan has taken a humble approach throughout the awards season, according to Joy Behar.
Sara Haines weighed in, stating that beyond acting skill, how an actor makes the audience feel is crucial. She emphasized that Jordan has a magnetic presence, saying, "Michael B. Jordan could play the devil himself and I would be right there."
Additionally, the hosts praised Jordan for his graciousness, mentioning that he often thanks his mother in acceptance speeches and has a charismatic presence, with Sheryl Underwood commenting that he “smells so good.”
Michael B. Jordan recently won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor at the 2026 Actor Awards, further solidifying his standing as a frontrunner this awards season. The buzz surrounding Sinners continues to grow, increasing its chances for a strong showing at the Oscars.
