The real Korey Wise's applause in the audience bro that's WHOLESOME, Jharrel and Korey are adorable, no one other than Jharrel deserved the Emmy anymore than this.

[@jwelch5742]

In July 2019, Wise purchased a condominium overlooking Central Park. He is the only one of the five who chose to continue to reside in New York City after his release. During the covid-19 pandemic, Wise helped provide sustenance to senior residents in Harlem.

the crowd reaction to his win says EVERYTHING. angela basset was so happy for him, all the black actors in the crowd was so proud. this man need to be in movies directed by acclaimed people like nolan, tarantino, greta gerwig, so he can won an oscar too.

[@ikexbankai]

He was in Oscar winning Best Picture movie “Moonlight.” That’s when I took notice of him. He was my favorite part of the movie and I knew he would go on to do grate things. He can also rap his ass off.

[@kj1227icecap]

He is Dominican, so he's also making Latinos proud. 👏👏👏

[@bpeterson1559]

I think it's kinda hilarious how this comment pivots from celebrating the support of black representation, to how he needs to be directed by three white people to gain acclaim.

[@ariglb]

Won an Oscar first. My mans is well on his way to being a decorated actor

[@natalie.s7226]

Exactly!!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

I don't why people were so surprised in hindsight. He was FANTASTIC in his limited role in Moonlight, which is one of the 3-4 best movies of this entire decade. His range is off the charts. It's not about ability, but opportunity. Well earned, well deserved, well done.

[@MrSkillz91]

Exactly. He was so good in moonlight

[@Thrintus]

He was amazing in Moonlight, and it's a pretty good film, too, but a top 4 of the decade film? I'm REALLY not sure about that.

[@katc6128]

I just finished it, 4 years late. Holy HELL was the series some of the most intensely emotional tv I've ever watched, but it is such an important watch. Everyone should know these mens' stories. The injustice is simply stunning in the worst way possible, and yet these 5 souls rose above everything when they could have EASILY held so much anger and bitterness against the world but instead became incredibly honourable people. I'm honestly blown away by all of the performances in this series from all actors, but Jharrel Jerome certainly was the stand out. I'm still speechless from the last episode... Bravo Jharrel 👏 Extremely well deserved and earned. I'm definitely going to watch Moonlight this week as I've heard really good things about that as well. Can't wait to see what else lies ahead for this young man!!

[@Ctayr6248]

He seriously deserved that win. He played the hell outta that role. Ava really did Korey's story justice, all of them for real.

[@ElleBoogie_]

I loved the way Angela Bassett announced his name. You could tell she was happy for him! Korey's tears is what did it though. I mean, the second I saw him crying, I teared up too. 🥺🙏🏿💐👑

[@carol563]

I'm late to Netflix and this deeply emotional mini series! His acceptance speech resonates deeper now that I've seen the episodes. 1-2 had me angry and perplexed, 3 had me crying and 4 broke me down. Jharrel so earned this award. Episode 4 makes me cry at the loneliness, violence and trials Korey went through and this version I'm sure is the clean version. 😭

[@Fierclyfabulous]

I agree. All were very very painful and hard to watch but Korey in trial and in prison I was in tears. It was so sad and devastating

[@OctavinaPlayer]

Seeing Mahersala Ali and Sterling K. Brown stood up and applaud Jharrel Jerome. What an honour. It feels like a passing of torch moment. And both are just having the peak of their careers that time.

[@rochelletidwell3628]

I actually cried when I saw this. I'm so happy for this man

It's so cute to see Korey being happy for him and it's his story that got him the Emmy.

[@bertkylian]

I've seen a lot performances throughout my life and they've moved me in ways I can't explain. But his performance, Jerome's performance, that was just OUT OF THIS WORLD. I'm a grown ass man and I cried. Hard. So hard I put my hands on my mouth so the neighbors don't think something had happened to me. I will never EVER forget it. EVER. What a way to tell a story.
