Each year, CinemaCon closes out the festivities with their own take on an awards show. As fate would have it, we were invited to an intimate pre-awards conference where members of the press were able to ask award recipients a handful of questions. Familiar faces like Jesse Eisenberg, Bryce Dallas Howard, Anna Kendrick, Dave Franco, Zac Efron, and Brent Spiner graced the room, but it was a jovial Jeff Goldbum (he and Spiner should do a nightclub act) and a thoughtful Nate Parker (I could listen to the eloquent BIRTH OF A NATION director talk for hours) who won the day. Feel free to skim through our video clips of each award recipient and be sure to share your thoughts in the comment thread below.
