Oscar-Nominated Actor Jeffrey Wright on "American Fiction"

Season 2024 Episode 6154 | 5m 51s

It’s a biting satire about the flattening of Black voices, and has become one of the darlings of this year's awards season, racking up five Oscar nominations including Best Picture, as well as a Best Actor nomination for Jeffrey Wright, who joins the show.
