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.

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.

Timothee Chalamet in Call Me By Your NameJanuary 9, 2021 at 10:05 pm #1203973454Brie 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.
