I dive into her two massive performances this year: A24’s hilarious dark comedy The Invite and the breathtaking new Spanish epic from Los Javis, La Bola Negra. (Seriously, if you haven't watched these yet, go see them immediately!) I also take a trip down memory lane to look back at her previous Oscar nominations and her iconic win, proving exactly why she has the industry weight to pull off this historic milestone. 👇 Now I want to hear from YOU!
