If Beale Street Could Talk is
KiKi Layne’s first leading role.
The actress, who plays Tish,
found out about the project
from an auditioning friend.
“I couldn’t shake Tish
and knew I needed to
try for the part.”
Barry Jenkins
(If Beale Street
Could Talk)
An artist as much as
a filmmaker, Jenkins’
latest offering is
truly beautiful.
Bradley Cooper
The industry loves
actors-turned-movie
makers, so it could
be Brad’s year.

Best Film to his collection. His Neil
Armstrong biopic is out of this world.
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Mary Poppins Returns, Can You Ever Forgive Me?, Vice
Chazelle’s La La Land
lost out to Jenkins’

fashion in 2017.
