Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore are splitting up their Oscar campaigns for awards season. Although Todd Haynes’ delicious drama “May December” is interpreted by many as a two-h…
“May December” tells the story of an actress, Elizabeth Berry , who is set to portray Gracie Atherton-Yoo , a Georgia woman who became a notorious tabloid figure when she engaged in a sexual relationship with a 12-year-old boy, Joe. Twenty years after the scandal, Elizabeth visits Gracie and a now 36-year-old Joe to prepare for her role, exposing the fractures beneath their carefully constructed surface.
Portman and Moore are among Hollywood’s most acclaimed and respected actresses. Portman has landed three Oscar noms throughout her career: supporting actress for Mike Nichols’ “Closer” and lead actress for Pablo Larrain’s “Jackie” and Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” . She won for her performance as a tormented ballet dancer in Aronofsky’s drama.
The official P.G.A.-credited producers are still pending; however, if Portman is among those that would be eligible to receive a best picture nomination, she would be one of three women this year seeking double noms for acting and producing — the others are Margot Robbie for “Barbie” and Emma Stone for “Poor Things.” Frances McDormand is only woman to be nominated in best picture and actress in the same year for “Nomadland” . She won both categories.
Moore has landed five Oscar noms across her decades-long career, including another collaboration with Haynes: his gorgeous period drama “Far from Heaven” . Her other noms have been for best supporting actress in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Boogie Nights” and Stephen Daldry’s “The Hours” , as well as best actress in Neil Jordan’s “The End of the Affair” and Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland’s “Still Alice” , for which she won for her stunning turn as a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
