My Take
Jeremy Kleiner is the sort of behind-the-scenes figure I want to applaud louder. As co-president of Plan B Entertainment, he helped bring 12 Years a Slave and Moonlight to the screen, both Best Picture winners, with four straight years of nominations behind that run. That is a staggering hit rate. What impresses me most is the throughline: a Harvard-educated producer who keeps choosing films that ask hard questions rather than merely sell tickets. Stars get the frame, but people like him decide what the frame contains. I quietly admire that taste and conviction.
