Ren\u00e9e Zellweger’s\u00a0three year run with Oscar in the early 2000s makes for oft-discussed trajectory, perhaps so much so that we don’t always remember her near nomination the year before it all began. This week, film publicist Rob Scheer joins us to look back at her Golden Globe winning performance in Nurse Betty<\/i>, a dark comedy about a woman so traumatized by witnessing her husband’s murder that she breaks from reality and persues the fictional soap opera doctor she adores.<\/p>\n

This episode, we discuss director Neil LaBute and his abrasive playwrighting\u00a0style in addition to Nurse Betty<\/i>‘s reception at the Cannes Film Festival. We also take a big picture look at the 2000 Oscar race including the Globes and National Board of Review. And we revisit a favorite “what if” Oscar scenario and imagine how following Oscar years would play out if Zellweger had instead gotten her Oscar for Chicago<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Topics also include frantic Oscar telecast control rooms, Bj\u00f6rk as potential (or not) sixth place Best Actress contender, and thanking John Carrabino.<\/p>\n
