Nao-May comes to a close this week with St. Vincent, the 2014 film that starred Bill Murray as an old codger who learns to love while caring for a not-quite-precocious preteen. The dramedy targeted that elusive follow-up nomination for Murray after losing out for Lost in Translation a decade prior, not to mention holding promise for a dramatic turn from Melissa McCarthy. But it is perhaps most remembered by awards hounds for Watts’s surprise SAG nomination as a pregnant Russian immigrant sex worker. This week, we look at Naomi’s successful 2014 (that also included starring in Best Picture winner Birdman), her career post-St. Vincent, and what we imagine lies ahead for her career. We take another final look at Watts as a committed performer to sometimes unfortunate material, as evidenced by this film and… oof, The Book of Henry. Topics also include the film’s rainsoaked TIFF premiere, embarrassing interviews on morning shows, and (once again) Jaden Mein Leiberher Martell.
