Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya have both been nominated for "best supporting actor" for the 2021 Oscars despite both being in "Judas and the Black Messiah"

I believe what happened was both their agents probably submitted them for the "best actor" and "best supporting actor" to increase the likelihood of them being nominated. Then the Oscars decided that they were best fit for the "best supporting actor" category.

This also leads one to question "who was the actual lead in the movie"

I feel that LaKeith was the actual lead, but I can see why there would be confusion about who was the lead, and I can see why they both were nominated as supporting actors. They both did good work though, so I wish they would’ve nominated them in different categories so that they both could potentially win an award for this film

A part of me feels that they nominated both of them in the same category so that they wouldn’t have to award two Oscars to two Black men in the main acting categories

So happy for my husband Lakeith! We know Daniel will be winning so I'm awaiting Lakeith's Instagram antics since he loves stopping his own bag.

They actually put up a campaign in lead for Lakeith Stanfield, but some voters voted for him in supporting for whatever reason. The Oscars actually do not have submissions for the actors, but the rules are that you go where you receive your most votes. He received his in supporting mostly for whatever reason. It is surprising because they usually just give actors nominations where they are campaigning to receive the nomination

Exactly!

One of these men were the lead. They didn't want 2 Black men winning major awards at once.

Daniel was great; LaKeith's crazy ass was stellar & should win lol

The title of the movie starts with "Judas..." Daniel is the "Black Messiah"

It's more the story of William O'neil than Fred Hampton. Lakeith is the lead and Daniel is supporting.

LaKeith was the lead; Daniel was supporting. They both did an excellent job though so I'm glad to see them both being recognized.

I really want Lakeith to win. He was clearly the lead and should have been nominated for lead actor. Daniel’s great too but I’m tired of people sleeping on Lakeith. Besides, Daniel already won a golden globe award for his role. It’s Lakeith’s turn now. He kills every role he’s in and is one of the best young actors in this generation in my opinion.

I'm sorry but Lakeith out acted Daniel. Daniel was okay

I feel some major propaganda happening with them both being nominated as supporting

They nominated Lakeith because they know he was the better actor and despite this faux popularity train they built of Daniel

I hope I'm wrong but I feel like the game is rigged and Daniel is being set up to be the winner even if he doesn't deserve it.
