YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBefore the Oscar race ends, Delroy Lindo sat down with Fresh Air co-host Tonya Mosley for a conversation about legacy, identity, and what it means to carry your mother's sacrifice into the most public moment of your career. He talks about the startling incident at the BAFTAs, a man with Tourette's involuntarily shouting a slur as he and Michael B. Jordan took the stage, and the unexpected wave of love it unleashed.
As he says plainly in this interview, he wants the Oscar, but he won't let it be the measure of his longstanding career. He also reflects on Da Five Bloods, the performance many believed deserved a nomination that never came, and what it taught him about the difference between recognition and legacy.
