“There’s a project that’s coming together that I’m really excited about,” Mahershala added. “It’s been six months, it starts with these festivals and what not. In that process, in that run, my wonderful team has been getting calls and offers and opportunists have kind of grown so I’m sure this (referring to his Oscar) makes things easier.”
