In 2015, the ongoing efforts to champion stories told by and about women placed large awards expectations on Sarah Gavron\u2019s\u00a0Suffragette<\/i>. A fictionalized telling of the women\u2019s suffrage movement in Britain,\u00a0Suffragette\u00a0<\/i>stars Carey Mulligan as Maud, a laundress who begins as a passive outsider and becomes a passioned activist. But once it debuted at the Telluride Film Festival, its initial harsh reviews squashed audience urgency to head to the theatre when it opened nearly two months later.<\/p>\n

This episode, we discuss Mulligan\u2019s many great performances that have yet to yield a follow-up nomination to her breakthrough nomination for\u00a0An Education<\/i>\u00a0– and we praise her upcoming work in the daring\u00a0Promising Young Woman<\/i>. We also discuss the heavy competition of the 2015 Best Actress race that failed to honor Mulligan among the major precursors.<\/p>\n

Topics also include Meryl Streep\u2019s much-buzzed performance as Emmeline Pankhurst (that ended up being little more than a cameo), the chaos of the current Globes comedy race, and another round of Alter Egos.<\/p>\n
