As Lee<\/em>-ver comes to a close (maybe?!), we decided to revisit a recent Kate Winslet vehicle that’s also a fun antidote to tHesE tiMeS. In 2015, Jocelyn Moorhouse (a director we love talking about here on THOB) returned with the TIFF premiere of The Dressmaker<\/em>. Adapted from the Rosalie Ham novel, the film stars Winslet as a woman returning to her small Australian town – and bringing couture and a spirit of vengeance with her. With Judy Davis as her town outcast mother and Hugo Weaving as the town’s queer cop, the film got a little lost in the shuffle when Amazon released it the next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about Davis’ two Oscar nominations and her legendary performance in Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows. We also discuss Sarah Snook’s Girl with the Dragon Tattoo audition, Liam Hemsworth as Winslet’s love interest of unclear age, and 2016 Supporting Actress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include the 2016 Costume Design nominations, small town outsiders, and Winslet as movie star.<\/p>\n
