not an Overly Long Name, that refers to multiple names (first + lots of middle), calling it a "mouthful" twice rubs me the wrong way, and "common" already establishes the more familiar term


In case you're wondering, his [[OverlyLongName mouthful first name]] is taken from the Literature/BookOfIsaiah, where it is the third of the foretold names of the Messiah (the first is the more common -- and less mouthful -- Immanuel).

In 2016, Ali appeared as Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes on Netflix's ''Series/{{Luke Cage|2016}}'', one of the many properties that make up the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, and ''Film/Moonlight2016'' as Juan, the latter of which earned him an UsefulNotes/AcademyAward in the Best Supporting Actor category. For that role, Ali became the first Muslim actor to get an Oscar. His role as Don Shirley in ''Film/GreenBook'' earned him another Oscar two years later in the same category. He also holds the distinction of both those films winning Best Picture, and regarding the second he was also in the same year's Best Animated Feature winner, ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''.
