<p dir="ltr">Actress Wunmi Mosaku’s performances often say so much in the pauses in dialogue from her work in <em>Lovecraft Country</em> to <em>Loki</em>, and the 2010 film <em>I Am Slave</em>. Mosaku’s latest role is Annie, a Hoodoo healer and the estranged wife of Smoke in <em>Sinners</em>. Her performance garnered her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, one of 16 nods for the film. Mosaku talks to Elvis about why she is attracted to characters who are seeking freedom, what self-affirmation has done for her, and how the moments before a character speaks are often the most revealing.</p>
