New headshot needed?[edit]

Jenkins' headshot for this article is more of an artistic portrait than a useful headshot. I think it should be replaced, perhaps with something from the Academy Awards? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2D80:403A:80FD:9CDF:5137:C9C0:157E (talk) 06:51, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Barry Jenkins (director) → Barry Jenkins – Per both facets of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Although some could say "recentism", this Jenkins has directed a Best Picture winner and won an Oscar himself. The other Barry Jenkins was the drummer of a band for two years, and his notability is eclipsed by the band's other much more well-known drummer who has been in the group far longer than he was. That's already more long-term significance for the filmmaker. And I really don't see a scenario where the director's pageviews lag beneath the drummer's (who was only getting around 20/30 a day before this Jenkins was prominent).
