Michael B. Jordan wins Best Actor for 'Creed'
The Image Awards last night honored films like Straight Outta Compton, Creed, and Beasts of No Nation with its top picks- in other words, movies that should have been nominated at the Oscars, but weren't, at least not in top categories. Interestingly, when Sylvester Stallone showed up to introduce Creed he was greeted with yet another standing ovation from a genuinely adoring crowd, much to his surprise. Yeah, I think that Oscar is already engraved with his name on it, don't you? People really just want to see him win.
