Popcorn with Peter Travers

British actor David Oyelowo joins Peter Travers on 'Popcorn' to talk about his new movie, "A United Kingdom." It’s a true story in which Oyelowo plays an African king, Seretse Khama of Botswana. The King caused a scandal in 1948 when he married Ruth Williams - played by Rosamond Pike - a white woman who worked as a London office clerk. Though race relations have improved in the 21st century, David relates a harrowing tale of how he and his white wife Jessica experienced racial hatred first hand and how she came to his rescue.

Today's guest Annette Bening is giving one of her best performances -- and that’s saying something -- in "20th-Century Women." She talks about how moved she was by the role of Dorothea Fields, a divorced mother raising a teen son during the summer of 1979. Playing the role brought Annette back to her own life as a 21-year-old in 1979. Married to Warren Beatty for 25 years, Bening reflects on life with the mega-star and their four children.

Ben Affleck is once again pulling double duty in front of and behind the camera. This time he's directing the new crime drama "Live by Night." The film takes you back to those days when gangster movies were all the rage. Many dedicated Affleck fans will note that "Live by Night" pushes Affleck's directing credits to more than half a dozen. Still, Affleck says he's "terrified" of directing because "it's such a big job." His next directorial project will be the next Batman movie. So many great projects, but no sequel to "Good Will Hunting" -- the film that launched him to fame. Wait till you hear why he says it hasn't happened after all these years.

Barry Jenkins is the lavishly gifted director and screenwriter of "Moonlight." Fresh off a Golden Globe win for Best Picture Drama, "Moonlight" is shaping up as the one film that can give "La La Land" a run for its Oscar gold. Featuring award-caliber performances from Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris and the three young actors (Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes) who share the lead role of a boy growing up black, gay and alienated in the Miami projects, "Moonlight" is an emotional wipeout. Jenkins himself says he can't watch the film with an audience. It's that personal. He shares his story about how it all began.
