Janney come lately

I've always been a big fan of Allison Janney. From the first movie I saw her in - The Ice Storm - to her broad and beautiful body of work, she always had a way of disappearing into her character and engaging us in every role she brings to life.

Primary Colors, The Object of My Affection, American Beauty, 10 Things I Hate About You, Hairspray, Juno, The Help - I could go on and on. Her body of work shows how versatile she is.

That said, I've always thought that she was an underrated actress, and not recognized enough for her work. But I think that'll change with this year's "I, Tonya."

She already brought home an award for this role at the recent BAFTAs.

And I reckon this is just the first of many, many, many awards that she'll bring home.

The Tony(a) awards!

One of the biggest stories in 1994 was the attack on Nancy Kerrigan, a champion figure skater who was America's Sweetheart. She was tall, beautiful, talented - so, she was pretty much perfect.

Just as she was about to make her mark in the Olympic world, someone literally bashed her dreams by bashing her legs. She became the most famous victim. And with every famous victim comes a famous villain.

In this case, it was Tonya Harding.

People from our generation know this story and how it unfolded. And now, more than 20 years later, we'll get to see a different side of the tale. From Tonya's point of view.



The trailer alone got me hooked. And this film smells like a lot of award opportunities for Margot Robbie and Allison Janney.

Here's another film that I can't wait to see!
