Continuing the grand tradition of challenging Oscar-winning actors to endure acting opposite the most facially unresponsive scene partners ever, and thus separating the killers from the scene fillers, Sesame Street today enlisted fallen angel Lupita Nyong’o for a bit in which she and Elmo espouse the merits of getting under the skin we live in. Not a bad tie in for an actress with a Lancôme endorsement deal.
Well played, Nyong’o’s people. Well played, Elmo. Well played, everyone.
