ANDRÉ HOLLAND AS TARRELL IN "EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS"
This is the second win and fourth nomination for André Holland. Holland previously won as part of the ensemble of Moonlight (2016), he was also nominated individually for Moonlight and as part of the ensemble of Selma (2014). He wins for his performance as Tarrell in Exhibiting Forgiveness.
Exhibiting Forgiveness is probably a film title from 2024 not nearly enough people have witnessed because Holland's is that impressive he should've been more in the conversation for best leading male performances of the year. Holland is an actor I've been a longtime fan of most primarily from the two season run of TV series 'The Knick' and of course his charming and disarming performance in 2016's Moonlight.
I have been patiently waiting for more complicated parts for him to play and after a nearly 12 month wait in 2024 once I saw Exhibiting Forgiveness I knew his work was that standout that even with some impressive competition he would be my choice. In the film Holland as Tarrell has to deal with approaching a troubling history while trying to stay in the moment of the present and his handle on this part is so compelling. The deeply upsetting emotions Holland must play are genuinely heartbreaking with myself on the verge of tears in the scenes where Holland played the injured child coming through his adult self opposite his on screen parents. Holland is marvellous opposite each of his co-stars and I truly believe his work deserves great honours that maybe were the title a bit more major he might've been more mentioned throughout the 2024-25 awards season as he deserved to be.
