Lupita Nyong'o - 'Us'

Awards Chatter

The Oscar-winning actress of Kenyan-Mexican descent reflects on her upbringing as a citizen of the world, beating out 2,000 other actresses to land ‘12 Years a Slave’ and learning to navigate Hollywood and celebrity in the years since.

But first: Lauren ‘LoLo’ Spencer, a young woman with ALS, joins Scott to discuss her accidental career as an actress — for her film debut in the indie ‘Give Me Liberty,’ she is now a Spirit Award nominee. 

Credits: Hosted by Scott Feinberg, recorded by Matthew Whitehurst and produced by Matthew Whitehurst and Joshua Farnham.
