Emma Thompson On Longevity Of Holiday Fave ‘Love Actually’ – But It Is SEX Actually That Is Earning Her Awards Buzz In ‘Leo Grande’
23.12.2022 - 05:21 / deadline.com
Christmas and Emma Thompson seem to go together. The celebrated two-time Oscar-winning actress costarred not only in 2019’s Last Christmas, but in what become a certified holiday classic, 2003’s Love Actually, a yuletide-set romantic comedy that has become so beloved, returning year after year, that ABC News recently devoted an entire Diane Sawyer hour to examining it.
On top of that, Thompson takes on the choice role of Agatha Trunchbull in the new film version of the Tony Award-winning musical, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, which is in theaters internationally and starts streaming on Netflix — when else? — Christmas Day.
This season has also brought good news on another front to Thompson. She has been nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical at the Golden Globes, and at the AARP Movies For Grownups Awards as Best Actress for her Sundance hit, Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. That debuted in June on Hulu, but has also been given special qualification, making it eligible for the Oscars, even though it didn’t play theaters before streaming.
In a tight Best Actress race this year, Thompson — also just nominated this week for a London Film Critics Circle Award — is in the conversation for a role that no doubt is one of her finest. Maggie Gyllenhaal recently hosted a special screening of the film for Academy members in NYC, followed by a conversation with Thompson.
The movie is essentially a two-hander, with Thompson playing Nancy, a 60ish retired school teacher, in a nice if dull marriage who looks for a chance to liven up her life for some adventure and a little sex by hiring a sex worker Leo ,Grande (Daryl McCormack). Shot during the pandemic, it is actually the perfect vehicle for the situation.
