Jamie Foxx<\/a> is giving flowers to fellow Oscar-winner Michael B. Jordan after his historic night on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Following Jordan\u2019s Best Actor win for Sinners<\/em> at the 2026 Academy Awards, Foxx took to social media to celebrate the actor in a way that felt both personal and full circle. The Ray<\/em> star won his Academy Award for Best Actor at the 77th Academy Awards back in 2005.<\/p>\n

At the Oscars, Jordan had the entire room locked in during his acceptance speech, but one specific moment really hit. While standing on that stage, he made sure to shout out the Black legends who paved the way for him, including Foxx, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Forest Whitaker, Will Smith, and the late Sidney Poitier. It was a reminder that his win was bigger than just one role. It was about the legacy he\u2019s continuing.<\/p>\n

Foxx wasted no time responding. He shared an emotional post saying he could \u201cbarely breathe\u201d watching Jordan take home the award and called his performance incredible.<\/p>\n

Foxx did not stop there. He went on to praise Jordan as an all-around talent, calling him an amazing actor and director and even joking that he deserved two Oscars for his dual role in Sinners<\/em>. The veteran actor also reflected on how quickly he was pulled into the film, noting that he knew it was something special from the very first scene.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHonestly, you deserve two Oscars for this one,\u201d Foxx continued. \u201cWhen I sat down to watch the movie, I already knew it was going to be special the moment I saw a pair of Jordans on screen. Then the first line \u2014 \u2018Are you guys twins?\u2019 and you hit us with, \u2018No\u2026 we cousins!\u2019 \u2014 man, I was locked in from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He followed up with several posts praising MBJ, including one where he said, <\/p>\n

\u201cAddressing by his new name, Academy award winner @michaelbjordan\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The two actors previously worked together in 2019 for Just Mercy<\/em>. Jordan previously told the Chicago Tribune <\/em><\/a>that, while filming, they developed a deep, supportive partnership in which Foxx mentored Jordan during challenging scenes. Fox provided comfort and guidance on set during the drama\u2019s intense moments.<\/p>\n

If you have been paying attention, this moment feels like more than just congratulations. It feels like a passing of the torch.<\/p>\n

In a separate conversation reported by PEOPLE<\/a><\/em>, Jordan opened up about his mindset following the win, explaining that he is not trying to replicate anyone else\u2019s journey. Instead, he is focused on walking his own path.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m just walking my path,\u201d he said, emphasizing the importance of staying locked into his craft and trusting that what is meant for him will come. \u201cI always encourage other actors and other artists, no matter the medium, to try to keep that in mind and be honest and true, just dream big, man. Dream big and be kind of honest. I\u2019m really big on pouring into the universe. That\u2019s how I try to live, you know what I\u2019m saying?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still, it is hard not to see the parallels. Foxx himself is part of a small group of Black actors who have taken home the Best Actor Oscar, and now Jordan has joined that legacy as only the sixth to do so. The respect between the two is such a beautiful exchange, and the moment felt like one generation recognizing the next.<\/p>\n

After the ceremony, Jordan kept the celebration going in true relatable fashion with a stop at In-N-Out, showing fans that even Oscar winners are normal humans who crave a late-night burger every once in a while.<\/p>\n
