Please academy voters take her into consideration, she's beyond mesmerizing in Past Lives, one of the finest performances this year.
From what I've seen and read, she was destined to play this role. Initially it was offered to another actress and Celine then came back to her a year later. She's worked hard, paid her dues, and all of it led to this wonderful opportunity. Hopefully we'll see her in other great projects and roles where she can continue to impress us with her talent and skill as an actor.
Even though her role on Girls was small, you could tell there was something special about her. Lena Dunham was good at casting -- even peripheral characters had heart.
Greta has such a beautiful aura!!! She's IMMMENSELY talented!!! Love her work so much and so excited to see her wonderful future projects and endeavors.
Past lives is a lovely film and she (and her co-stars) are fantastic in it .
This was such a good film. She’s so lovely!
Embarrassed to say I hadnt really seen some of her past stuff cause they weren't my type of shows so I really only got to know her from the movie, but she was phenomenal. Such a well crafted actor that it makes me want to see everything from her past that made her so amazing. This piece was also very well produced showcasing everything that she has done. I didn't know she was Broadway nor an MTV host. Look at all of these amazing opportunities and only now the world "discovers" her?! Congrats Greta!

She is my favorite character in Morning Show. I hope the producers give her more time on screen.
She’s a fabulous actress. I’ve only seen her in The Morning Show, but she kills it in that show.
I loved this movie so much. I became sick during my trip to Los Angeles and had to take a beat by seating instead of working during my return flight. I watched the first 30 minutes before taking the rest and nap that I needed. And watched the last minutes of the movie and I cried at the end as Greta walked back to her husband. Wow, wow, wow that word "In-Yun" those words will never be forgotten. So beautiful portrait as you don't wanna hate her husband or even include him in this relationship and he wasn't even centered but everybody was in pain. She should have won an Emmy or Critics Choice Award well deserved! Beautiful movie and I will definitely watch it again!
Greta Lee -- beyond good acting. Versatile and complex roles played brilliantly. This was a PERFECT film I just loved.
I saw Past Lives last summer in theaters. I appreciated it as an uniquely Korean American/Canadian story & as an indie artistic film. So surprised to see it be recognized during awards season & getting more exposure. I hope Celine & Greta both get nods if not awards for their work.

I think it's a very universal story. And it's A24 which is like commercial indie, if that makes sense.
she’s seriously one of the prettiest people i’ve ever seen in my life… like the face card never declines my gawd !
She was a stand out in GIRLS and RUSSIAN DOLLS. It's not a surprise she could and would go on and do big things. CONGRATULATIONS GREATA!
she deserve more, hopefully she will nominated for an Oscar Nomination which she surely deserves to
I love her on the MORNING SHOW. Stella is such an interesting character and can't wait to see what happens to her next season.
She has very very an unique and attractive face.
She is just fantastic in every way and her son Apollo is the cutest baby I have ever seen
I would like to clarify the wrong information on description. She is not a Korean-born Korean. She is a Korean descendant born in LA. The vid also said she was born in LA @1:15
She deserves the Oscar.
Greta Lee, a wonderful actress, she shows us all aspects of feelings when she acts. I love seeing her in person.
After watching Past Lives, I fell in love with her. How wonderful she is!
She’s so great! Love her and have been a fan of her for years. So happy for her!
LOVE her!!!!!!! What an amazing, insightful and talented woman!!!
She adds that certain humor to „The Morning Show“, without her this show would only be have the fun to watch!!! 🙌💯 🌟 🌟🌟
I love you Greta!! Past Lives is my favorite film this year ❤
She does have the best skin... Korean beauty products are the best. Sulwhasoo, Amore Pacific...
The last scene was as powerful and moving as the last scene in The Bridges of Madison County when the camera focuses on Meryl Streep's hand gripping the car door handle.
Past lives is the best film in that genre and best of the year…
Can’t wait to see her in more films!
Just watched "Past Lives" - an incredibly raw, emotional, endearing yet heart-breaking movie. It had all the "feels" even in the silences.
Wonderful actor! I so enjoy you in The Morning Show. Congratulations on your continued success.
Wat is dit een ontzettend leuke vrouw. En wat speelde grandioos in Past Lives. Geef haar die Oscar!
First of all, this bright talent is 40?!?! She looks 20 years younger! She is gorgeous! Second, her performance was gorgeous as well. It was superbly muted with amazing expression. I loved it! Lastly, I love that all those other established actresses were giving Ms. Lee opportunities to work and show her range, which is very difficult for an actress of color to get a chance to do. Good on them for supporting a fellow actress moving her way up the ranks. I wish Ms. Lee much success as she is wildly talented.
Okay,so the very first movie I saw her in was 'Sisters ' with Amy Pohler and Tina Fey- and I loved her!! She is amazing in everything she has done since then. Keep it up,Greta!
Movie of the year. So beautiful.
Big fan of her in The Morning show 😍
She's outstanding in the movie. Her facial expressions speak VOLUMES during long silent scenes. And that moment at the end... Damn.
Really looking forward to seeing this movie

The 'Past Lives' is a lovely film.💗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Loved this movie so much. 😭
I've gotta see this film!
simply amazing
So valuable! 👍
Stumbled into the movie Past Lives accidentally bored on a long flight and it kept my attention. It had a very quiet attraction that wrapped me up into the world of past love.
So happy for her
The only actress who could actually knock ten years off her life and be believable.
Can't wait to see this movie!
Excellent promotion for the movie!
I really enjoyed greta in past lives and in Russian doll 😀
She is wonderful love her work
She wasn’t Celine Song first choice but I’m glad her first choice didn’t work out. Greta was wonderful in Past Lives!
Great movie.
lol, so weird seeing Korean people interviewed. And, that Korean stuff is generally accepted in the US. Never would have thought it would be like this as a kid.
she's witty, and has great comedic timing. finally, we can stop giving allAsian females roles to Akwafina.
She's great.
I knew when I saw her in the Morning Show she should have more major roles. Personally I thought she stole every scene she was in, can’t wait to see more of her.

I've just been watching a bunch of Greta Lee interviews because she's so darn charming And I kept thinking it's that amazing charisma and of course acting talent that makes her the total standout in TMS!
it was a great movie 🍿
"Happy birthday baby!" still ingrain in my brain
Really loved this film. Thank you
She made me hate and feel bad for her character in morning show. Great actor 😅
Greta should of been nominated for Best Actress!!! I’m so proud to be Asian !!!
Greta is beautiful.
Where is The Morning Show season two? I am waiting for you baby.
Never heard of her. But she's pretty.
The husband was the hero of this movie.
great interview but who says twenty oh seven lol

She’s 40???! wtf
It’s such a great movie! My favourite of 2023🤍

I haven't watched the movie, but was she supposed to sound like she had a foreign accent when speaking Korean? She does not sound native to me.

@@Charlene_____ Oh okay. For me, when she says the word fate (인연 in -yeon) 1:40, she definitely sounds like she has an American accent (the N sound in Korean is different than in English), and when she calls him Haesung (1:56), Koreans would normally add the casual speech vocative case marker -a, so it would be more like Haesung-a. She sounds very Korean American otherwise. Also she sounds pretty monotone in this clip 1:59, almost as if her speech and facial expression don't match the emotions she is expressing with her words. But then again, English is generally a more monotone language than Korean.

this dude is killing me with the "twenty O-eight" or "twenty O-seven" just say 2007 Or 2008
Haven't seen it, but looks better than last year's Everything Everywhere Who Cares I'm Tired.
Because you've surrendered Greta, that is why it happened to you.
watched half of "past lives", but the dude character was too much of an idiot to continue watching the other half.
Her puffy cheeks, tho😊
She was great in the movie, but the movie was zzzz
She looks nothing like the young spelling bee contestant.
Robbed of an Oscar _NOMINATION_ 😐
It doesn't appeal to Korean or Chinese but western becoz.she was brought there
Sigh… with a tendency towards exhale. The humanness of the characters in Past Lives and in Greta both.
0.36 Is smoking now considered "cool" again?
She was very miscast. She’s not likable at all. What is missing is a real character. The lady who we seem to be rooting for comes off indifferent, cold and uncaring of the men.
Super overrated film. Literally nothing happens. Could have been 15minutes long
