It seems like Zendaya’s success with Euphoria is resulting in a tidal wave. Her career seems to be the moment?

Didn’t Noah Centineo go from like 150K IG followers to 12m the week after To All the Boys dropped on Netflix.

Awkwafina kinda, she was already an internet thing before 2018 but the 1-2 punch of commercial breakthrough of Crazy Rich Asians & Ocean’s 8 followed by critically hit of The Farewell in 2019 is kinda insane.

Tiffany Haddish.

The way she went from journeyman actor and semi-known club touring comedian to one of the few automatic studio movie greenlights, Emmy winner, Grammy nominee, best selling author and almost Oscar nominee within 18 months all from one film (Girls Trip) is unreal.

When was the last time something like that happened before? (and especially for a Black woman in her late 30s, in an industry dripping in ageism and misogynoir).

And now she has Raya and the Last Dragon, The Little Mermaid live action and Marvel’s Shang-Chi all coming up this year. She is getting those Disney cheques.

What about actors that went from unknown status to Oscar Nominees? Like Lupita? I love it when that happens ? Like ‘A Star is Born‘ kind of thing….? Also not recent years but Vivien Leigh pulled that off etc……

Jennifer Hudson? But she was literally the biggest talking point on the #1 show in America.

Brie Larson in Room? She was pretty unknown before that, she briefly had a music career and a supporting part in Sleepover (I didn’t even know it was her at first). Then she won an Oscar for Room and now she’s Captain Marvel.
