Lakeith Stanfield has been one of my favorite actors since “Short Term 12” and has been exceptionally impressive in “Crown Heights,” “Introducing Jessica James,” “Atlanta,” and, as the character who speaks the ominous title words, “Get Out.” I am really looking forward to “Sorry to Bother You,” which looks like a smart, provocative, and very innovative film.

This year’s cuddly British film is “Finding Your Feet” and I have to admit I can’t wait. The cast is sublime, with Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie (of “Marigold Hotel,” in a similar vein), and the divine Joanna Lumley.

I am beyond excited for “The Current War” with Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Holland, and Michael Shannon in the story of the fight over control of electricity. Money, ideas, power — which will win?

And what I look forward to most every year are the surprises — the actors like this year’s Tiffany Haddish and Timothee Chalamet this year and the filmmakers like Jordan Peele (who cast Haddish in “Keanu”) and Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon who are instant favorites. I can’t wait to see what they do next, and I can’t wait to see who will be next.
