Stephen Yeun, Nope
While we’re on the subject of Jordan Peele movies—especially since Get Out’s many accolades included a Best Actor nomination for Daniel Kaluuya (who ended up winning Supporting Actor a few years later for Jesus and the Black Messiah)—we’d like to ask why none of Nope’s actors got any Oscar notice. Kaluuya was solid as always, as was Keke Palmer as his character’s more animated sister, but Yeun’s tricky blend of space cowboy and child-stardom casualty brought an extra layer of unease to Nope’s examination of spectacle gone wrong.
