Stephanie and Zosia Mamet in Laid James Dittiger/PEACOCK

In 2022, actor Stephanie Hsu made a big splash as Joy/Jobu Tupaki in the hit indie action-comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once, earning herself a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Academy Awards. Of course, three of her co-stars were also nominated, including Jamie Lee Curtis in the very same category, so mathematically, at least one of them was going home empty-handed, and Hsu drew the short straw. Now, at last, Stephanie Hsu has landed a great comedic lead of her own. Hsu is to die for in the new high-concept romcom Laid, giving us one of the year’s most fun and memorable comedic characters.
