After a secret screening at Sundance, Miss You, Love You, a film that stars Allison Janney and Andrew Rannells has found a home. HBO has snapped up the rights to the film, which was written and directed by Jim Rash.

In the best documentary category, the nominees are Black Snow, Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time, Life After, Love + War, 2000 Meters to Andriivka, Prime Minister, Turning Point: The Vietnam War and Union.

Jaja’s African Hair Braiding peeks into the lives of an older generation, in 2019, having emigrated from the same part of the continent. Both plays probe Black female identity using a single setting yet this one takes it a step further by confining the story to one working day.

Lyric Hammersmith Theatre have released rehearsal images ahead of the UK premiere of the Tony Award-winning play Jaja’s African Hair Braiding which runs at the venue from Wednesday 18 March – Saturday 25 April 2026.

The film, which blends new interviews, archival footage and watercolor animation, will drop on the service later this year, and seems likely to contend for the best documentary short Oscar a year from now.
