- He won Best Actor for his dual role as twins in Sinners and used his acceptance to thank Ryan Coogler and his family and to acknowledge past Black Academy Award winners.
- Sinners led the ceremony with a record 16 nominations and ended with four Oscars, including original screenplay, cinematography and original score.
- Autumn Durald Arkapaw made history as the first woman to win Best Cinematography for her work on Sinners.
