MayDecember stars Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore should be bonafide Oscar contenders out of Cannes.
, “May December” more than delivers on those sizable expectations. The film is look for a distributor, so depending on which studio picks up rights to the film and when they opt to release it, this could be an all-around awards player in multiple categories at the next Oscars, including best picture.
The same goes for Portman, who’s picked up three career noms for “Closer” , “Jackie” and her best actress winning “Black Swan” . At first, Portman’s Elizabeth is ingratiating and unfailingly polite. But her Hollywood chic barely covers up a certain voyeuristic ruthlessness. It’s her delivery of a bracing line, “this is what grown-ups do,” towards the end of “May December” that bring all the film’s themes back into focus.
There’s been a growing disdain for actors, widely thought of as leading performers, being campaigned for supporting recognition, more widely known as “category fraud.” It’s been 21 years since Haynes picked up his sole Oscar nom for writing “Far from Heaven.” So how long will the Academy wait to recognize one of our greatest living filmmakers? Hopefully, not too much longer.
