Mitch Neuhauser, Managing Director of CinemaCon, has announced that Henry Golding will receive this year's "CinemaCon® Male Star of Tomorrow Award". Golding will receive the award "CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards" ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, April 4.
"In just a little over a year, Henry Golding has proven that he has what it takes to be a leading man on the big screen," noted Neuhauser. "From ‘Crazy Rich Asians,' to ‘A Simple Favor,' and the upcoming ‘Last Christmas,' ‘Bush' and ‘Monsoon,' Golding will continue to entertain movie audiences around the world, and we are thrilled to honor him as this year's ‘Male Star of Tomorrow.'"
Golding first appeared on the big screen when he was selected to star as Nick Young in the mega-hit "Crazy Rich Asians." He quickly solidified his position as a leading man with his role as Sean in Paul Feig's "A Simple Favor," starring opposite Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. This past year Golding became the first Asian actor to grace the GQ Man of the Year cover. He made Variety's 10 Actors to Watch and was featured on the cover of Vanity Fair's Hollywood issue.
You can next see Henry in "Last Christmas", a romantic comedy that is slated for November 15, 2019 release.
CinemaCon, the official convention of NATO, will be held April 1-4, 2019 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Coca-Cola Company is the official presenting sponsor of CinemaCon.
