‘Oscar Wilde’ award

While actress Michelle Williams was nominated today for a Golden Globe Award and yesterday for a SAG Award, one trophy she is already certain to collect is an annual ‘Oscar Wilde’ award. Williams, who has received rave reviews including Best Actress awards from numerous critics groups for her portrayal as Marilyn Monroe in MY WEEK WITH MARILYN, will be honored on 23 February at the seventh annual “Oscar Wilde: Honoring the Irish in Film.”

 

Trina Vargo, President of the US-Ireland Alliance, said that the organization is delighted to honor Michelle Williams, whose performances have established her as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after and respected actors and earned her two Academy Award nominations

 

“She is an incredible actress with a string of memorable performances, with the latest perhaps being her greatest. She captures not only Monroe’s look, voice, laugh, and walk, but even the smallest of mannerisms.”

‘My Week With Marilyn” is nominated to the Golden Globes in the category ‘Best Picture, ‘Best Actress’ and ‘ Best Supporting Actor’, congratulations !

And a very good news, the director Liv Ullmann has annonced in a newpaper she will direct August Strindsberg’s play “Miss Julie” with Michelle Williams as lead

STORY: 

 

Miss Julie (Swedish: Fröken Julie) is a naturalistic play written in 1888 by August Strindberg dealing with class, love, lust, the battle of the sexes, and the interaction among them. Set on midsummer night of 1874 on the estate of a Count in Sweden, the young woman of the title, attempting to escape an existence cramped by social mores and have a little fun, dances at the servants’ annual midsummer party, where she is drawn to a senior servant, a footman named Jean, who is particularly well-traveled, well-mannered and well-read. The action takes place in the kitchen of Miss Julie’s father’s manor; here Jean’s fiancée, a servant named Christine, cooks and sometimes sleeps while Jean and Miss Julie talk.

 

The plot is primarily concerned with power in its various forms. Miss Julie has power over Jean because she is upper-class. Jean has power over Miss Julie because he is male and uninhibited by aristocratic values. The count, Miss Julie’s father (an unseen character), has power over both of them since he is a nobleman, an employer, and a father.

 

On this night, behavior between Miss Julie and Jean which was previously a flirtatious contest for power rapidly escalates to a love relationship—or is it just lust?—that is fully consummated. Over the course of the play, Miss Julie and Jean battle for control, which swings back and forth between them until Jean convinces her that the only way to escape her predicament is to commit suicide.

Michelle and Kenneth Branath are nominated at the Screen Actors Guild Award, Congratulations !

Michelle’s reaction to her nomination :

“I am honoured to be nominated alongside the unparalleled Kenneth Branagh. Inhabiting a woman as renowned as Marilyn was a wonderful challenge, so to receive this sort of support from my peers is very moving indeed. Marilyn herself always approached her performances with such dedication and intelligence and a talent that defied explanation. I hope we were able to shed some light on those often overlooked aspects of her. Thank you so much to The Weinstein Company for all of their incredible support, and their continued devotion to independent films like ours.”
