English-speaking audiencesbest know Sônia Braga for
her Golden-Globe nominatedrole in Kiss of the SpiderWoman. She has worked
steadily since that role buthas truly outdone herself in
Aquarius.

While all of these roles wereexcellent, Hall’s role in Christine isthe most complex and demanding
role she’s ever had to take on.Antonia Campos’ dark character
study focuses on ChristineChubbuck, a news anchor who
committed suicide on live TV in the70s.

Hall takes on the role in full force,boldly digging into Chubbuck’sinsecurities and portraying an
empathetic portrait of her

AllisonJanney
inTallulah
![Page 19: Four Women Who Shouldn’t Be Overlooked at the 2017 Oscars](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a93231a28ab58288b7655/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Allison Janney excels at prettymuch everything she does, but
surprisingly, most of her roles havebeen on the small screen.
![Page 20: Four Women Who Shouldn’t Be Overlooked at the 2017 Oscars](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030304/587a93231a28ab58288b7655/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
In fact, she has now received fourEmmys for the West Wing. Bit she
hasn’t been largely recognized in afilm until now.

Tallulah is an indie film that waslargely overlooked, but one
standout role was that of Janney.She plays an academic mother whois forced to befriend a stranger whoclaims to be the pregnant girlfriend
of her estranged son. Even if themovie didn’t receive much praise,
Allison Janney deserves quite a bitof it.
