For playing Anita in Steven Spielberg’s 2021 remake of “,” the 30-year-old took home the Golden Globe for supporting actress on Sunday. She is also nominated for a Critics’ Choice and Screen Actors Guild Award, and looks to have a good shot at this year’s Oscars.

Along with a short-lived run on “So You Think You Can Dance,” DeBose’s screen credits include playing Alyssa Greene in Ryan Murphy’s musical “The Prom” and Emma Tate on the Apple TV Plus comedy “Schmigadoon!” And up next, she’ll appear in Matthew Vaughn’s spy film “Argyle” and Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s sci-fi thriller “I.S.S.” But “West Side Story” is undoubtedly her breakout role.

“I think Rita’s work in our film is some of the best work she’s ever done. It’s one of those performances that fits right next to her Anita for me.

Queer readings ? Talk about 'Woke' ! Does anyone even watch Saturday Night Live anymore ?

This movie is a horrifying train wreck. She's the only great thing in it. But the movie should never have been made. It's just an ego trip of the director.

You know why I’m the only one responding to this tweet? Two reasons. First, no one saw West Side Story, second, no one knows who this is, nor ever will, because even less people watch SNL.

Stephen Spielberg has no creativity and even if there were a drop there it has definitely been depleted due to his old age. There's nothing left there

Mm

Oh great another Stephen Spielberg flop. Next thing he's gonna do is cause a tractor trailer to fall off a cliff and blowup or film things on a super 8 camera and interject real war footage into it
