Natalie Portman’s performance in “Vox Lux” is officially being campaigned for Best Supporting Actress at the 91st Academy Awards, Neon has confirmed to IndieWire. The indie distributor purchased the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival and soon after announced a December release date to get the movie into the 2018-19 awards race.
“Vox Lux” stars Portman as an international pop star named Celeste, but the “Black Swan” Oscar-winner only appears in the back half of the 110-minute drama. Writer-director Brady Corbet’s narrative begins with Celeste as a teenage girl, where she’s played by “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” star Raffey Cassidy. Celeste survives a violent tragedy in her school and becomes an instant star when a clip of her performing at a memorial service goes viral. Portman plays Celeste when the film jumps in time to 2017, where the pop star is trying to mount a comeback and overcome personal scandals.
