In 2021 the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor finally went to Daniel Kaluuyafor his performance in the film Judas and the Black Messiah. The London artist was the top favorite to win the award, but in this year’s edition of the Oscar Awards it was not so clear who would finally win the statuette.
The race to be among the nominees had already been an act of survival, since actors like Ben Affleck, Jared Leto, Jamie Dornan o Bradley Cooper among others, although it cannot be said that this year’s candidates have not made merits to take home the Oscar.
Kodi Smit-McPhee (the power of the dog), Troy Kotsur (CODA), Jesse Plemons (the power of the dog), Ciaran Hinds (Belfast) and the already awarded in this category J.K. Simmons (Being the Ricardos)They are the ones who aspired to glory.
In this year’s edition, the pools pointed to a face to face between Kodi Smit-McPhee awarded at the Golden Globes, and Troy Kotsur, which triumphed at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. And finally it has been the latter that has prevailed in one of the most even categories. At 53 years old, he was facing a great opportunity thanks to a very emotional role with a scene to show off, something that the members of the Academy have undoubtedly rewarded.
Directed by Sian Heder CODA focuses on the story of a teenage girl whose parents are deaf. In high school she discovers her passion for singing following joining the choir and is presented with the ever complex dilemma between pursuing her dream or helping her family. A tape that touches the heart and whose history has penetrated deep.

In this year’s edition, the pools pointed to a face to face between Kodi Smit-McPhee awarded at the Golden Globes, and Troy Kotsur, which triumphed at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. And finally it has been the very young Smit-McPhee who has won the Oscar. His age, he is 25 years old, seemed to be his main handicap when it came to winning the statuette, since in the history of the awards only Timothy Hutton has achieved it at such an early age, in his case, with 21 years . Although the members of the Academy have not taken this fact into account.
