Nicole Kidman, one of the most honored actresses currently working in both film and television, has returned to the nation’s movie screens in Joel Edgerton‘s “Boy Erased.” She plays the loving wife of an Arkansas minister (Russell Crowe) who both decide to ship their teenage son Jared (Lucas Hedges) off to a gay conversion center when they discover Jared’s sexual orientation.
If all of the awards buzz surrounding Kidman’s performance in “Boy Erased” comes to fruition, it will only add to her haul in awards nominations. To date, Kidman has been nominated for four Academy Awards (including a win for 2002’s “The Hours”), has earned 10 Golden Globe film nominations and has been nominated for seven Screen Actors Guild Awards for movies. Plus she just had an awards sweep at the Emmys, Globes and SAG for her TV work on “Big Little Lies.”

David Wenham with the real Saroo and Sue Brierley whose story is told in "Lion"
If I didn’t already know Nicole Kidman is a genius, I would’ve been convinced after meeting Sue Brierley, the real life woman who inspired the character she plays in Lion. As I sat down to speak with Mrs. Brierley and her son Saroo (played by Dev Patel in the film), I was first struck by how Nicole perfectly captured her cadence, her soft voice and her piercing look, but then I was completely disarmed by her warmth. Watching her sit next to her son, and look at him with tenderness - she caressed his back, held his hand, and smiled constantly - perfectly encapsulates why the film is so successful. Their story simply needed to be told.
Jose: Was it surreal to see your story on the big screen?
Saroo Brierley: Yeah definitely,...

Lion, the true story about an adoptee in Australia who uses Google Earth to reunite with his birth family in India after 25 years. To portray Sue Brierley, the boy's adoptive mother, in Garth Davis' drama, the actress reverted to her signature '80s curls and drew on her own experience as a mother, both adoptive and biological.
The 49-year-old spoke with THR about bonding with the real-life Brierley, the challenges of supporting roles and the importance of art in trying times.

Meeting up with novelist, essayist, film critic, and very famous poet, Luke Davies, to discuss his latest screenplay, based on Saroo Brierley's memoir A Long Way Home for Lion, directed by Garth Davis, starring Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, David Wenham and Sunny Pawar, we talked about the Proust moment, Hans Christian Andersen's Little Match Girl, Anton Corbijn, John Frankenheimer's The Train, Felix Van Groeningen's Beautiful Boy starring Steve Carell, Gianfranco Rosi's Boatman, Australian adoption laws, butterflies, and visual cues.
In Lion, memories are the only tools available to the hero for regaining a sense of origin. Luke Davies attaches us firmly to little five-year-old Saroo (Sunny Pawar) who gets lost on a dangerous, life-altering adventure.
Saroo (Sunny Pawar): "He describes this hedge that was filled with butterflies."

Remember when Michelle Williams seemed to be a shoo-in for best supporting actress? Her performance in Kenneth Lonergan’s tragic drama “Manchester by the Sea” won the New York Film Critics Circle, which honored Williams for her small but mighty role.
That was just a month ago, but the final weeks of Oscar season have their own laws of relativity. Now the best supporting actress statue seems to be “Fences” star Viola Davis’ to lose, followed by Octavia Spencer of “Hidden Figures.”
Here’s how I see the breakdown of the race, by nominee.
Viola Davis
Williams might have stayed the Oscar frontrunner if Paramount hadn’t placed “Fences” Tony-winner Viola Davis in the Supporting Actress race instead of the more crowded Best Actress field. She kills it, and gives Williams serious competition. Both landed Critics Choice, Globe, SAG, and BAFTA Award nominations, and Davis took home the Critics Choice,...
