I've met him. He's just a super chill dude.
He was freeing himself from a glamorous strait jacket as part of his lesser known career as an escape artist.
He just finished a break dance sequence and this was his celebratory end-pose...obviously.
"Faye Dunaway just informed him he won 2016's Best Director"
MDA -- obviously. hee!
Mark Gordon -- ooh, good one.
Rebecca -- i mean, he's so talented it wouldn't surprise me.
Bey -- that comes across!
I love how unabashedly in love with film Jenkins is on Twitter. So many directors play it cool and he’s just always fanboying out and hyping other people’s work. Seems like genuinely an awesome person. And he loves Wong Kar-Wai (obviously) and that’s always a sign someone is cool/good/brilliant.
barry jenkins is just the best person, it's that simple. And it's his reason for doing all the adorable things he does
He can make Beale Street talk but he can make the red carpet SING...
Couldn't help it.
Ah.... someone has been watching some New Japan Pro Wrestling and has discovered the concept of.... tranquilo!!!!! Los Ingobernables de Japon. The hottest thing in Japanese pro wrestling right now.
