Jordan Peele‘s new nightmare, Us, is in theaters now and the one thing we can all agree on is Lupita Nyong’o is absolutely brilliant in the film.
Did you know this is the first starring role for the Oscar-winning actress? Trust me when I say she doesn’t disappoint and she definitely raised the bar.
Lupita love is lacing the streets of social media – peep the tweets below.
No matter how you feel about #UsMovie the one thing I hope we all can agree on, after you all see it opening weekend, is that @Lupita_Nyongo deserves a best actress nomination. Two in fact. pic.twitter.com/BE2GM3JLAx

Go see @UsMovie 👍🏽@JordanPeele is one of my favorite directors/storytellers and he definitely doesn’t disappoint. Saw the movie yesterday with my fam. @Lupita_Nyongo seriously acts her butt off and @Winston_Duke owns his role perfectly. The kids were amazing too. See it now!

After seeing #UsMovie for again (it's still as good as the first time, and you can tell how Peele is having fun with us in the first act), I now argue that Universal should try (if only to make a point) to campaign @Lupita_Nyongo for Best Actress *and* Best Supporting Actress. pic.twitter.com/M4bAtbtyIF

Good morning to Lupita Nyong'o and her acting only.
I would definitely like to see her take on Nakia becoming Malice because yes. pic.twitter.com/5JREOT1Gp1

Just saw “US”.
Lupita is amazing.
Jordan Peele is genius.

I'm genuinely going to be thinking about Lupita's performance for the rest of the weekend, from the way she used her body, her voice, how her copy felt like a completely different person if she doesnt get an Oscar nom were gonna have to throw hands for real.

Because she's been dominating red carpets since moment one, it's easy to forget that #USmovie is really @Lupita_Nyongo's first big lead role.
If nothing else, her performance should have everyone in Hollywood scrambling to keep her busy in them for the rest of her natural life.

Lupita was so good in #UsMovie that, at one point, her character peeked around the corner and I realized that I was actually leaning over in my seat so I could see around the corner too.
— Saeed Jones (@theferocity) March 22, 2019
Argument could be made Lupita Nyong'o in #UsMovie is giving one of the best – if not THE best – female lead performances in a contemporary horror film ever. Period.
Like… no disrespect to everyone who came before, but even Jamie Lee Curtis didn't have to be Laurie AND Michael.

I hope every director who failed to put Lupita in a starring role before this feels like an entire dick. This was an all time great performance

Best feeling is watching a movie and having no idea what to expect at any given moment but knowing you can fully trust the hands you're in. That's #UsMovie. I don't say this lightly, it's a masterpiece. Scary, funny, deeply powerful. Lupita Nyong'o may have just won an Oscar. pic.twitter.com/kUVwhOpzk3

#UsMovie just messed me up. Deeply disturbing, frightening and fun..at times..Holy hell! Ok Lupita is astonishing. I’m shook
— The Barbaradook (@barbaracrampton) March 22, 2019
GIVE LUPITA HER AWARDS NOW!
I'm blown away. There's a moment where she's standing by a window that made me gasp. Whew.Jordan Peele created something in #UsMovie that's going to stay with me for a while.

Just randomly got a little bit emotional about how good Lupita is in this movie. You walk away like “Damn she was GOOD.” The next morning it’s like… “Ok that performance was Phenomenal!” And the day after that you start to realize that there was real magic at work. #USMovie
