Wow! I’m honoured to be nominated by my fellow actors alongside such inspiring performances, and am grateful to the Academy for their support and encouragement. I’m equally thrilled for our visionary writer-director Darius Marder and the brilliant Paul Raci, as well as our editor Mikkel, sound designer Nicolas, and co-writer Abe Marder. These nominations represents the time, generosity and talents of so many — all of our incredible cast, crew, producers, and in particular I’d like to thank my mentors in the drumming, addiction recovery, and D/deaf communities. Sound of Metal is about how a health crisis can cut you off from your life and loved ones, and force you to grow in unexpected ways. In a challenging year for so many, I hope this story can inspire us to forge new and deeper connections with ourselves and others.

I’m fed up of seeing Muslim characters on screen either negative or non existent. The industry must change. Our new study proves what many of us always felt about #MuslimsInFilm. The cost is measured in hate & lost lives. Full speech at link in bio. @inclusionists @pillarsfund @fordfoundation
Thank you @bafta for the nominations for Sound of Metal and Mogul Mowgli. Both these stories are so close to my heart I can’t even explain. We made them against the odds with a lot of love, and to see that love coming back is an incredible feeling. Shout out Darius Marder, Paul Raci, Olivia Cooke, all our cast and crew, my teachers Jeremy Lee Stone, Gregory Berger Sobeck, Guy Licata, Leighton Grant, our producers Sacha & Bert at Caviar, everyone at Ward Four, Vertigo, Protagonist, Amazon – and the members of the Deaf community who welcomed, educated and guided me. For Mogul Mowgli – thank you to Bassam Tariq for your vision, Aly Khan, Nabhaan Rizwan, Anjana Vasan, Aiysha Hart, Jeff mirza, Sudha and all our incredible cast, our incredible crew, our producers – Thomas Benski and everyone at Pulse Films, Bennett McGhee at Silver Town Films, Michael Peay, our executive producers Yann Demange, Dimitra Tsingou, Eva Yates and everyone at BBC films, Cinereach, Suroosh & Vice Media, Ryot Films, BFI distribution.

Highlights from our talk with @deadline about making Sound of Metal 1) You can either have vulnerability or control, you can’t have both 2) The only reason acting is even possible is because inside each of us, is all of us 3) Darius owes me a $900 meal. Photo: @joshtelles

The Long Goodbye was released a year ago. Sometimes feels like a week ago and sometimes feels like a decade. What a crazy year. What was your favourite track from the album? Can’t believe we didn’t tour but ended up doing these conversations, and a live stream. Can’t wait to get back on stage. Big thanks to @hassanhajjaj_larache for the snaps, @_aneil_ and @wepresent for the short film, and @redinho808 for the tracks, where it all started.
