“American Fiction” star Sterling K. Brown and 17 Gold Derby experts have something in common: they all expect Brown to lose Best Supporting Actor at the 2024 Oscars to “Oppenheimer” star Robert Downey Jr.
“I know I’m not going to win,” Brown – a first-time Oscar nominee for his acclaimed performance in “American Fiction” – said during an appearance on Friday’s “The Graham Norton Show.”
When fellow guest and Best Actor nominee Colman Domingo doubted Brown’s stance, the actor added, “I’m fine with it. Totally fine with it.” Brown added that he felt Downey would win and that the beloved Hollywood star was “incredibly deserving” of the honor.
“He’s an incredible actor. Like, you should give him love,” Brown said. “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.

Sterling K. Brown said he isn’t expecting to take home an Oscar this year, but he’s “totally fine” with it.
The actor, who is up for best supporting actor for his role in American Fiction, recently joked during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, “There’s no losing yet — it’ll happen in its own due time.”
Brown proceeded to say that “Colman [Domingo] will probably win,” adding, “I know that I’m not going to win.” Domingo was also a guest on the BBC show, as well as scored a best leading actor Oscar nomination for Rustin.
Though Graham Norton and the other guests pushed back, telling Brown that he still has a good chance at winning, the This Is Us actor admitted he’s “totally fine” if he doesn’t take home the trophy.

Stars: Jeffrey Wright, Tracee Ellis Ross, Leslie Uggams, Sterling K. Brown, John Ortiz, Adam Brody, Keith David, Issa Rae, Myra Lucretia Taylor | Written and Directed by Cord Jefferson
Having worked on TV shows like Watchmen and The Good Place, Cord Jefferson makes his directorial debut with this feature adaption of Percival Everett’s 2001 novel, Erasure. American Fiction follows Thelonious “Monk” Ellison (Jeffrey Wright), a writer who is irritated at how the publishing world rejected his latest work for not being “black enough.” Monk pours those frustrations into a novel satirising the tropes that black writers are expected to adhere to, although he is surprised at how well-received the book becomes.
What Jefferson has crafted is a witty piece of social commentary that approaches the treatment of black stories in ways that are thoughtful and entertaining. The frustration is felt at how the stories most valued are the ones pandering to tired stereotypes,...

This enjoyable meta-level adaptation of Percival Everett’s 2001 novel Erasure tackles black-victimhood stereotypes, showcasing Jeffrey Wright and Issa Rae as rival writers
Thelonious “Monk” Ellison is a middle-aged black humanities professor in Los Angeles, roundly disliked by students and faculty colleagues, who is the author of many intellectually demanding and commercially disastrous novels based on classical myth. Depressed by his career and by money worries – including an elderly mother needing residential care for dementia – Monk is finally triggered by the bestselling triumph of a new novel by black author Sintara Golden, entitled We’s Lives in da Ghetto, which apparently panders to all the illiterate black-victimhood cliches beloved of white cultural gatekeepers. Enraged, Monk writes a spoof hood-violence novel, My Pafology, by the supposed convicted felon Stagg R Leigh, and sends it to his agent, assuming the obvious crassness will signal its satirical intent. But then … well, those acquainted with...

Lifetime brought the fourth episode of Dawn series, Midnight Whispers, a continuation of V. C. Andrews’ Cutler novel series. The third and fourth episodes seamlessly pick up the narrative, focusing on the journey of Dawn Cutler. Kidnapped at a tender age and raised by her captors, Dawn eventually uncovers her true identity as a member of the influential Cutler family. However, she finds herself torn between her two families, realizing that the treatment she received from her kidnappers might have been better than what she received at the hands of the scandalous Cutler family, which harbors deep-seated secrets, including the truth about her parental lineage.
Spoilers Ahead

Lifetime’s latest twisted family saga has come to a close. Part 4 of V.C. Andrews’ Dawn aired on July 29, it didn’t hold back when it came to campy, over-the-drop drama we’ve come to expect from the network’s adaptations of the V.C. Andrews’ gothic novels. The final installment of this limited series featured a tragic fire, a grab-bag of creepy and vindictive relatives, and a high-stakes game of keep-away with a baby doll. Let’s break down how things ended for the cursed Cutler family in Midnight Whipsters.
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for V.C. Andrews’ Dawn Part 4: Midnight Whispers.]

Daveed Diggs — Jefferson himself! — joins us on this week's show. Plus the whole team is practically giddy as we get back to the wilderness for Yellowjackets, sample Ireland's answer to Fleabag (apparently) with ITV's The Dry, and see what Steven Knight does with Dickens (this time) in BBC1's Great Expectations. Plus there's a whole to-do about cake and Kay comes perilously close to murdering James on air (fair).
