Chiwetel Ejiofor and Idris Elba

Black British stars Idris Elba and Chiwetel Ejiofor have both received ‘Best Actor’ Golden Globes nominations.

Chitwetel has been nominated for his role in the epic ’12 Years A Slave’ and Idris for his portrayal of the late South African leader Nelson Mandela in the biopic ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’.

Congratulations to them both.

I think Chitwetel will take home the award in 2014, he plays a slave in the harrowing ’12 years’, a role like that (and other roles that depict some form of servitude e.g. The Help, The Butler) is always going to win you big awards in today’s Hollywood.
