SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Disclosure Day,” now playing in theaters.

While Steven Spielberg’s latest sci-fi film is headlined by performances from Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor — both of whom have received their fair share of praise from critics — it’s newcomer and former journalist Courtney Grace who has generated some of the most buzz online.

After whistleblower Daniel (O’Connor) and news anchor Margaret (Blunt) have successfully broken into the Kansas City newsroom with the footage exposing the government’s decades-spanning cover-up of extraterrestrial activity, the film cuts to an NBC news anchor (Grace) as she picks up the story live.
