OUTSTANDING LEADING ACTOR IN A MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Mahershala Ali as Detective Wayne Hays in "TRUE DETECTIVE"
Hugh Grant as Jeremy Thorpe in "A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL"
Jared Harris as Valery Legasov in "CHERNOBYL"
Jharrel Jerome as Korey Wise in "WHEN THEY SEE US"
Ashton Sanders as Bigger Thomas in "NATIVE SON"
Jeffrey Wright as Louis in "O.G."

AND THE WINNER IS:


JHARREL JEROME AS KOREY WISE IN "WHEN THEY SEE US"

This is the first win and nomination for Jharrel Jerome.

How incredible the casting of Moonlight has been with three actors from that film making up 50% of this lineup. Jerome my personal winner while a smaller part of that great film with his work as Korey Wise has full broken out like the rest of the Moonlight ensemble. In the first 2 episodes he's great however like many have mentioned when watching the fourth and final chapter of the series we as the audience really get to appreciate his performance. His work displayed such deep sadness in how he was fully punished and hurt by his experiences in prison. People just need to watch the series and witness his great work being the only actor to play both the teenage and adult versions of his character Korey.
