If you want to know why the theatrically released film "Till" (2022) did not get any Oscar nominations, overall, or for the outstanding Danielle Deadwyler (who also shined in the HBOMax series "Station Eleven" the same year) as Mamie, it's because this series already told the story and Adrienne Warren already played the role to perfection half a year before the film came out. Newcomer Cedric Joe was sweetly excellent as young Emmett, and Glynn Turman (also very good in the latest season of FX's "Fargo" series) gave the best performance of his long career as Uncle Mose. Bravo to ABC for telling this important story with this superb production. If you watched this, you probably won't need to see the film; tho I have no doubt Deadwyler is also worth watching. Acting students will definitely benefit from watching both.
