2008: Meryl Has Such Doubts
Manage episode 196897212 series 1601473
While most serious Oscar pundits assumed Meryl was a lock for Best Actress for her role in Mamma Mia, Meryl actually got nominated for her more dramatic work in Doubt, written by the guy who brought us Moonstruck. Doubt also features an unforgettable breakout role for Viola Davis, stellar work from Amy Adams, and one of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s most enduring performances. Elsewhere, The Dark Knight was setting box office records as Heath Ledger posthumously won every award in sight, and Slumdog Millionaire became an indie darling. Join us as we discuss the presentation of the acting awards, Hugh Jackman’s musical number with Beyoncé, and Kate Winslet’s long road to Oscar.
