BRIE LARSON

BEST ACTRESS ‘ROOM’

Larson is a champ, having balanced heavy awards-season duties with shooting the King Kong origin story

Kong: Skull Island (2017) in Australia with Tom Hiddleston and Samuel L. Jackson. (We imagine she slept mostly on trans-Atlantic planes.) Next up could be another Oscar-worthy performance: Larson is attached to star in

The Glass Castle, based on the best-selling memoir by Jeannette Walls.
