Lupita Nyong'o: Diversity in Hollywood Should Not be "Trend" | Close Up 

Lupita is an incredibly gifted actress, also very elegant and stylish...

Imagine Viola Davis and Lupita doing Actor on Actor episode.

Classy is the right word, Lupita is brilliant and gorgeous!!!

I've listened to a lot of actors speak, but no one breaks it down like Lupita. She is so precise in everything she says, even when she's promoting her films, speaks with such clarity.

Sooo beautiful and speaks so eloquently. Lupita is a vision in a dream.

Lupita is literally a gift!

This level of beauty, sophistication, intellect and poise, you cannot feign. You either have it or you don’t. Queen LUPITA!!!! I love you so much!!!

Her articulation and vocabulary is so breathtaking - the tone and the mood she is logical at the same time so the message is always received. I love that.

What makes Lupita stand out is not just her beauty, it's her elegance, intelligence and self confidence. She's a GIFT. Many actors in Hollywood were not chosen based on their intelligence or other inner qualities. Yet, this is what Lupita 'brings to the table'.

For what she says, I can feel she's the kind of actress who signs up for a project for its quality, not for the ego.

JLo looked like she was studying Lupita’s every word.

Lupita is gorgeous and so well spoken. I could listen to her for hours 😻

Now listen children. Lupita is Thee Gift literally

It is a pity that she may not receive recognition for this role due to the early release

Lupita is a straight up dime. Shes the prettiest in all of hollywood right now as far as im concerned.

I don't want to diminish the importance of what Lupita is saying, but she's so gorgeous!

That question put Lupita in an awkward place. I didn't appreciate it. We always ask the marginalized about the problems put on them by others, but never the people in power, who create and perpetuate the problem. Ask the white actresses what they're doing to widen the circle of stories told. If THR asked Lupita that question, they best, at minimum, be asking ScarJo about taking on that trans role.

even her stuttering is elegant

I respect this women. She’s soo confident and comfortable in her skin, unlike lil Kim.

Lupita speaks with so much class and poise, im so focused in every word she says ❤️

She deserves the Oscar for Us. But I doubt she'll win. Let alone get nominated.

I appreciate everything that was said here by Lupita. She speaks nothing but the truth

Can't get enough of this BRILLIANCE of a human & QUEEN!!!!!!

Soooooo happy that she's being put forward like this. Her double performance deserves recognition.

Lupita is as intelligent as she is beautiful inside and out. She just gave me some insight into performing in theatre and performing on film in a way I might not have thought about it. Also, the childhood immature person in me is proud and happy that I watched this video at the '2 view mark'. Almost first!!!

This woman is so beautiful.

jenifer is looking like shes taking notes.. beautiful conversations

If you listen closely you can hear whispers of Gina Rodriguez saying “It’s ThE SaMe WItH LaTiNOs”

Lupita is so humble, simple, talented and smart woman! What a beautiful and wise lady. Hope she gets nominated, her performance in Us was one of the greatest in ever in thriller genre.

Lupita was amazing in Us, if she gets Nominated for Leading Actress Oscar... I wouldn't even be mad, she was tremendous in Us and its one of her best performances of all time!

This is the most diverse close up table I’ve ever seen.

she is so perfectly eloquent with her words i love hearing her speak

2:04 daaaaamn shots fired!!! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Every single year the main clip they show for their token black actress revolves her talking about diversity in Hollywood. Only black women tho, never asked as to how the other women can help just the general “how do (insert black womans name) feel about Hollywood diversity.”

She look like a QUEEN in this thumbnail. Woooooooooow

Lupita is the most classy one at the table.

How can someone be so gorgeous, intelligent and eloquent. I love this woman.

Thank GOD Gina Rodriguez isn’t at the table for THIS topic. Lol

So insane that she's making this point across from ScarJo who is ready to take a role from whomever she can lol

Is the entire Drama Actresses’ Roundtable uploaded already? I can’t wait to watch the whole thing!

The irony of having a roundtable discussion on diversity and including Scarlett Johansson. The jokes just write themselves....

my girl, i love her, i’m so happy for her.

1:45 "People shouldn't be trends". The lack of self awareness. 🤣

Goddess! So intelligent. So beautiful. So refined. So tactful in how she answering questions. Class act!

This table is STACKED 🔥

Her skin!!! Omg!!!! Flawless

LOVE LOVE LOVE LUPITA’S STYLE SHE IS SO RADIANT!! 😊🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙌🏿😘😘 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Where can we watch the full episode?

I just have to say, Lupita has such a beautiful mind, hyper intelligent and grounded... inside and out! So incredibly talented. One of my top 10 actors to date.

She is such a talented young lady+++ That ALAIA gown looks amazing on her!!!

There is something about Lupita. Shes intelligent and so remarkably beautiful. Just in the way she carries herself, she's definitely unforgettable. But I think she's right. Hollywood has gotten a little bit more diverse but "diversity and inclusion" doesn't mean everyone gets paid the same. And thats not just in Hollywood, you find that across industries in America.

I know Awkwafina of all people did not just say that people shouldn’t be trends. Girl....

Where's the full roundtable talk???

I love this lady. Very eloquent. Will love to see lupita and Tiffany haddish in a movie.

Again Lupita Nyong'o are stars two film this year Us ans Little Monster

Stunning assortment of diverse, intelligent, talented and elegant actresses yet all different.

The women appear jealous or threatened by lupitas articulation and intelligence. They feel my gosh all i have is the looks but i wish i was as intelligent and articulate as lupita who expresses herself with clarity and deep sense of introspection which many of them on that table dont have. They are like how did this dark skin African girl take America by storm, be so intelligent and speak better than us with all the opportunities we have had. Lupita makes them look small because many of them lets be honest they would not be where they are if it were not from knowing someone in holly wood or some connection to the powers that be but for Lupita she has everything going against her in a very white field whereby beauty is everything and knowing who is who to get a movie is crucial. Lupita comes out of nowhere , with a funny name, from africa and wins an Oscar on her first movie which has never been done and gets to play in iconic movies like star wars and a main feature role in a big movie like black panther in such a short period. Just reminds me of Obama. A Skinny guy from nowhere, with a funny name becomes president of America. Both with Kenyan roots.

Why isn’t the full one being posted!!!!!!!!!! I need the full one !!

Brilliant 🖤

She is SOOO elegant!!

Lupita was wonderful in Little Monsters and she fit the role so perfectly. She's gone Aussie for that movie!

LUPYTAAAAAA I love you ❤️❤️

I can't find the full episode 😭😩

Where is the whole conversation?

Us was done so well. It was the first movie that felt accessible to me as far as Lupita's talent. She won me over. it was not easy to make that role grounded and not hokey.

I feel like on these round tables you have to act as smart as possible

Scarlet should’ve been asked a similar question. Would’ve been interesting for her to articulate her right to play any tree in front of actors of color. Having two opposing ideals on the table makes for a more compelling discussion.

Her beauty flatter me and looks always gorgeous 😍😍😍

💜 Lupita...

J. LO and Scarlett Johansson do not even belong on the same level of excellence that Lupita has achieved. No, I am not dissing them but I cannot respect either of these women because they only promote 'woke' movements when they're popular in Hollywood and good for their PR while actors like Lupita do not pretend to be someone they aren't. She speaks so eloquently for the black community but I bet she has the class to never throw any other marginalized community under the bus either. Can't say the same about J.LO and Scarlett.

Classy

She's amazing...

Brilliant.

She is brilliant!

There's also Gugu and Nathalie Emmanuel as well 🤔💯👏

She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard

Lupita is so beautiful i love the she carry herself 😍😘

God...sometimes i forget to close my mouth when it drops. Shes so elegant

bravo Lupita : tu es si classe à ton jeune âge, et tu prouves que tu es vraiment la compatriote du président BO (i live in France please) !

where can we find the full episode of this roundtable? anybody know?

Did you all watch Little Monsters she was brilliant in that

Good questions

She’s so stunning

Jlos face is stoic af everytime Lupita speaks. Dafuq is her problem

She's so dark and beautiful 😍

I love jlo but I see a bit of jealousy, just a tiny bit. She was so zoomed into lupita she didn't even notice her face and the cam. Did something happen? Is lupita seen as a threat? You know lupita speaks Spanish too right? I don't know, I have always seen jlo as sweet and kind, but here in lupita's shot she seems almost scary. My inquiring is harmless, I'm always saying what I am thinking. I looove Lupita!!!!

Wow such a beauty

Those who have not seen 'Little Monsters' need to do so asap!

Lupita, YOU BEAUTY 😩

i love that this table is actually diverse. ppl say "diversity" and it just means "black". here we get to see asian-american, hispanic-american, European-american, african-american. i hope all types of ppl get to have more opportunity in hollywood

Lupita looks gorgeous!!!

I have a HUGE CRUSH on Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita is Beauty elegance and class personified.

Jlo seems like a good listener..I like that

I love this woman.

She's a goddess even a baby can see that

She is so smart.. Lupita that is

Omg add Charlize and we have our best actress line up Please academy give Saoirse Ronan an Amy Adams treatment this time, she doesn’t have to be nominated for everything she does (love both)

happy lupita put some respect on film editors there have been several cases where the editor essentially made the actors career

Bawse! Calling out the question.
