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.
