It’s Awkwafina’s world and we’re just living in it!

After lining up a series of high-profile projects we can’t wait to see, the young actress just landed the lead role in another one – the big screen adaption of hit young adult novel The Last Adventure of Constance Verity.

If we’re lucky enough, we’ll end up getting an entire Awkwafina franchise, since this movie just happens to be the first in a series of books by A. Lee Martinez.

It tells the story of Constance Verity, who’s been saving the world from one disaster after another since her childhood until she decided to take extreme measures to get an ordinary life she always wanted.

After making a splash in 2018 with notable supporting roles in Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean’s Eight, Awkwafina received rave reviews for a lead turn in Lulu Wang’s dramedy The Farewell.

She has a couple of pretty exacting projects on the way, including potential box office hits Jumanji: The Next Level and The Little Mermaid. She’s also in the process of developing a series based on her life for Comedy Central.

Tate Taylor gave us one of the best “girl power” casts in recent years with his breakout hit The Help, and he’s done it once again! The star-studded ensemble of his upcoming movie, Breaking News in Yuba County, features the likes of Allison Janney, Mila Kunis, Awkwafina and Regina Hall.

Janney will take a lead in this promising project, which tells a story of a woman who embraces the fame of having a missing husband after her cheating spouse dies of a heart attack. Kunis will play a local news anchor who happens to be her half-sister, and Hall will take on the role of a detective, who can tell there’s something fishy going on.

The A-list ensemble also includes Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Samira Wiley (Orange Is the New Black), Juliette Lewis (August: Osage County), Ellen Barkin (Animal Kingdom) and Wanda Sykes (Bad Moms).

Breaking News in Yuba County will start filming in Mississippi next month, and we can’t wait to see this wonderful cast in action when this movie hits the theaters.

The first round of Oscars 2019 presenters has just been revealed, and the list contains some flashy names like James Bond actor Daniel Craig, Avengers’ star Chris Evans, and singer/actress Jennifer Lopez.

They will be joined by a mix of up-and-coming and established stars including Awkwafina, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Brie Larson, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amandla Stenberg, Charlize Theron, Tessa Thompson, and Constance Wu. According to The Hollywood Reporter, this is just the beginning, and more presenters for 91st Academy Awards will be announced in the coming weeks.

“The Oscar nominees have generated tremendous worldwide attention through their captivating stories, achievements, and performances,” said Oscar 2019 producers Donna Gigliotti and Glenn Weiss. “We want to give the public an opportunity to once again experience the moments that have moved us all. It is a celebration of our universal love of movies.”

The 91st Academy Awards ceremony will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 24, 2019. After Kevin Hart dropped out as host, this year’s Oscars will most likely be without a host, which didn’t happen since 1989. Instead, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is reportedly looking into making the cast of Marvel’s Avengers as the main stars of the show.

2018 was a year filled with dozens of amazing performances, and newcomers just happened to give some of them.

The world learned their names thanks to formidable portrayals they gave in big blockbusters and indie films alike and something tells us they’re here to stay. Let’s take a look at 10 rising stars who took Hollywood by storm this year.

Elsie Fisher

This newcomer won our hearts with one of the most vulnerable, honest and revealing performances in recent memory with her Golden Globe-nominated role in Eighth Grade.

Zazie Beetz

Atlanta put Beetz on the map, but Deadpool 2 showed us she’s not going anywhere but up.

Noah Centineo

2018 proved Netflix movies can turn relative unknowns into overnight sensations. The breakout star of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is a case in point.

Letitia Wright

Black Panther featured several amazing performances, but we can all agree that Wright stole the show as brilliant and hilarious princess Shuri.

John David Washington

It was just a matter of time before John David Washington joined Hollywood’s elite, and the role in BlacKkKlansman finally got him over the line.

KiKi Layne

Regina King’s performance is everyone’s favorite part of If Beale Street Could Talk, but this film also gave us an amazing breakout star in KiKi Layne.

Cynthia Erivo

Erivo already has one Tony under her belt, but she became the talk of Tinseltown thanks to her starring roles in Widows and Bad Times at the El Royale.

Thomasin McKenzie

Leave No Trace is one of the most underrated films of 2018, and it’s a shame Thomasin McKenzie isn’t getting the same kind of recognition Jennifer Lawrence did while working with Debra Granik.

Lady Gaga

It may seem strange to call Lady Gaga a “rising star”, but it would be even stranger to ignore her career-defining movie debut in A Star Is Born.

Awkwafina

Awkwafina was MVP and a breath of fresh air in every movie she appeared this year, including Ocean’s Eight and Crazy Rich Asians.

Finally fans get a first sneak peak at footage from Ocean’s 8.

The 15-second teaser showcases the star-studded cast of Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson, Rihanna, Anne Hathaway and Awkwafina.

The teaser starts with Bullock as Debbie Ocean talking to Lou (Blanchett). The two talk about Ocean’s plan to pull off a heist at New York City’s annual Met Gala. “Why do you need to do this?” Lou asks, to which Debbie replies, “Because it’s what I’m good at.”

The teaser offers little clues regarding what is to be expected but among the rapid scene flashes, Debbie is seen sipping a martini while sitting in front of a grave that reads “Danny Ocean, 1961-2018,” suggesting that George Clooney’s character has died.

Also expected to make cameo appearances in the film are Olivia Munn, Katie Holmes, Kim Kardashian West, Kendall Jenner and Matt Damon.

Fans looking for more details will need to wait for the release of the full-length trailer for Ocean’s 8 on Tuesday!
