‘Năi Nai & Wài Pó’ Director Sean Wang Wants His Love Letter To His Feisty Grandmas To Also Remind Us Of Hate Crimes Against Asians – Contenders Film: The Nominees Jeffrey Wright is no stranger to awards. He’s won an Emmy, a Tony and a Golden Globe all in fact for playing the same role: Nurse Belize in, first on Broadway and then for the HBO limited series directed by Mike Nichols.
