One of the most sought-after actresses in the past couple of years, Lupita Nyong'o gave a breathtaking performance in the 2019 film Us. Her role as Adelaide Wilson is haunting yet captivating. And then, of course, there's Lupita's performance as Red, Adelaide's doppelganger. It's like she's channeling a completely different person - her posture, her voice, her entire demeanor changes. But the performance failed to get an Academy Award nomination for the actress.
