The BBC is facing backlash after an apparent racial slur was heard during a live segment at the BAFTAs while actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage. The network has since issued an apology, attributing the outburst to an audience member with Tourette syndrome.

The moment quickly spread online, with viewers questioning how the disruption occurred during the high-profile broadcast. Officials say the incident is under review as conversations about live-event safeguards and accountability continue.

(News4usOnline) - “Sinners” is the best film I’ve seen this year. As a matter, it is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while.  With Michael B. Jordan serving as co-lead in the film as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, star power has a lot to do with the trajectory high “Sinners” went on through its primetime theatrical run.  When Ryan Coogler made “Sinners,” he broke the mode in more ways than one. The math speaks for itself. The production numbers of “Sinners,” according to the website, The Numbers, was $90 million. As it stands today, “Sinners” has grossed more than $364 million worldwide.

Pictures It made nearly $300 million (a little over $278 million) just from ticket sales here in the United States. The success of “Sinners” breaks down into several categories.  The first is originality. In an industry full of redos, duplicates and remakes, “Sinners” holds the distinction of being one of those rare original films created out of Hollywood. And Coogler hit a home run with his horror-flick saga.  According to BlexMedia.com,” “Sinners” has become the top-grossing original horror film domestically. That’s impressive.    This is a huge win for Coogler, the same director who fueled the box office smash “Black Panther,” with late powerhouse actor Chadwick Boseman leading the way as the star of the film. Jordan, who played opposite Boseman in “Black Panther,” almost stole the icon’s thunder from his lead counterpart with his portrayal as Erik Killmonger.   “Black Panther” made over $1.3 billion globally, sustaining Coogler’s gift for storytelling and creativity as a director.  “Sinners” presented a much different challenge for Coogler. First, he did not have the mega-funding of Marvel to back him up in making “Sinners.” He would have to take a chance and do this project without all that theatrical muscle behind him. Coogler still managed to succeed. He succeeded because he believed in the project he created, wrote and directed. Coogler owns “Sinners” from top to bottom. It’s his baby. However the film was and still is to be judged, falls squarely on his shoulders.

Pictures With Jordan as his main man, Coogler, who began his run of successful movies with the biopic drama “Fruitvale Station,” would not have to bear this burden by himself. Cut deep in the cloth of Negro spirituals, cultural traditions, mixed with race, crossed with the jazz and blues genres, “Sinners” does something that a lot of movies haven’t done, and that it makes sense with its time period and horror themes. Yes, “Sinners” made its debut way back in April, but the lasting impact of the film is far greater than its theatrical run. What I like most about “Sinners” is that nothing seems to be forced. The center of the storyline focuses on two brothers returning to their hometown trying to make good for themselves and their community down in the heart race-divided Mississippi. The journey that Stack and Smoke starts off innocent enough when they purchase a building from a white southerner hoping to cash in by making the facility a juke joint for Black folks to be able to enjoy some revelry for themselves.

Who did it better?

Sorry guys, I was looking for professional images of Delroy and came across this image and it reminded me of the pose Aaliyah did and I couldn't help but laugh a little.

NO, I'm not saying he copied Aaliyah or anything of the sort his post is just to brighten your day a little.

Happy Blessed Birthday to Delroy George Lindo born November 18, 1952.
