This May, we are kicking off our second ever miniseries by taking a month-long dive into the filmography and Oscar history of Naomi Watts. Coming this month: we’re talking Le Divorce, The Painted Veil, Diana, and St. Vincent. And to kick things off, we are bringing you a special mini episode to set the stage for the discussion. In 2001, Watts emerged on the scene in a big way with David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, but missed out on a Best Actress nomination against very mighty competition. In this episode, we discuss that genius performance and how it would set the stage for Watts as a performer who was owed a follow-up nomination after the snub. Topics also include perfect American dialects, other THOB-eligible movies starring Watts, and her track record of working with great directors.
