The year is 2006 and the nominees are: 1. Reese Witherspoon - Walk the Line 2. Felicity Huffman - Transamerica 3. Charlize Theron - North Country 4. Judi Dench - Mrs Henderson Presents 5. Keira Knightley - Pride & Prejudice In 2006 Reese Witherspoon won the Oscar for Best Actress for playing June Carter-Cash in the Johnny Cash bio pic, Walk the Line. Many people compare this win to Julia Roberts in that they don’t understand how she swept the award circuit for this role. I have seen this film many times and I’ve always loved Reese in it. Is a lead Oscar win? We discuss more on the podcast episode. Felicity Huffman gives one of the best performances in Transamerica. It’s sad to see her movie career didn’t continue to live up to the success of this film. Charlize Theron was nominated for ‘North Country’ a movie about female factory workers in Minnesota and the harassment they endure. Keira Knightley was nominated for Pride & Prejudice and so began her slew of historic film roles. Finally, Judi Dench was nominated in one of the most confusing movies I have ever seen, Mrs Henderson Presents. Join host Kyle Brownrigg with guest host David Brennan as they discuss.
