This fictional look at a night out between Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown is a masterclass in acting and story. So it's no wonder it's directed by Regina King, who knows a little something on how to pull off both.
Despite not getting a best picture, drama nomination, King is nominated as well as Leslie Odom, Jr. for his performance as Cooke and his original song in the movie, "Speak Now."
