Michelle Pfeiffer is a screen legend whose return always feels like an occasion–even if we’re all stuck at home. In 2020, Azazel Jacobs’ French Exit debuted at the New York Film Festival with Pfeiffer starring as a wealthy New York eccentric who loses her fortune and absconds to France, all while perhaps haunted by her dead husband in the form of her cat. Pfeiffer earned strong reviews for her performance, but the film itself proved grating to a number of critics and couldn’t sustain its presence as its release shifted. This episode, we talk about Pfeiffer’s previous three nominations and the chaos of the covid year’s Golden Globe comedy nominations. We also talk about Valerie Mahaffey’s terrific supporting performance, the career of Imogen Poots, and Jacobs’ current contender His Three Daughters. Topics also include our first thoughts on the current Survivor season, the 2020 NYFF lineup, and BAFTA’s changing rules. Follow Us on Twitter! @Had_Oscar_Buzz Joe: @joereid Chris: @chrisvfeil
