Netflix has added Judy, a 2019 biopic starring Renée Zellweger, and any fan of classic Hollywood should definitely move it to their watch list. Renée Zellweger got her start in the 1990s with ing roles in projects like Dazed and Confused and Empire Records. Just a few years later, Zellweger starred in some of her most notable movies, including starring roles in Jerry Maguire and Nurse Betty. However, it was Bridget Jones's Diary that elevated her to the level of fame that she has been enjoying ever since. d2i49

In The Offer, a limited series about the making of The Godfather on Paramount+, Justin Chambers makes an appearance as Marlon Brando, a cinematic titan that would be difficult to embody without descending into caricature. Chambers wisely doesn't draw inspiration from the many parodies that exist of the Corleone patriarch, nor from Brando's own preference for method acting, instead choosing to deliver a subdued and authentic portrayal of the actor.

Jessie Buckley's first screen appearance was a show-stopping performance on the BBC talent show, I'd Do Anything, which was designed to find an unknown actor to play Nancy in a West End revival of Oliver! Though she ended up finishing second, the series jumpstarted her acting career and allowed her to land a breakthrough role on the 2016 miniseries, War & Peace.

It's hard to believe, but the most recent Academy Awards was just a few short months ago, in a time before the world turned into Contagion. At the ceremony, Renée Zellweger won her first Best Actress Oscar for her role as the iconic Judy Garland in Judy. Zellweger exquisitely captured not only Garland's dark, troubled personal life but also her sheer talent and awe-inspiring ability to perform even when the chips are down.

Oscars 2020 Best Actress favorite is Renee Zellweger for Judy. While the official Oscar nominations are set to be revealed this Monday, so far those most statistically favored to take home the ceremony’s sought after trophies has become clear.

Judy, the biopic of the last year of Judy Garland’s life, takes on the true story of a legend, with a few changes along the way. Judy stars Renee Zellweger in her Hollywood comeback role, and the movie has inspired a whole new flurry of conversations around the life and legacy of one Judy Garland.

Judy, the biographical Judy Garland drama starring Renée Zellweger, opens with the perfect tone-setter; in a smooth, single-take shot (or close to one), a teenaged Judy played by Darci Shaw is shown around The Wizard of Oz set by Louis B. Mayer, the Harvey Weinstein-esque MGM mogul, who manages to flatter, insult, and seduce her with promises of superstardom all at once. It's a shame, then, the rest of the film never quite lives up to this disquieting glimpse at the real "man behind the curtain" and how he set Judy Garland down a dark path at a young age. Still, what the movie lacks for inventiveness, it makes up for with comion and, of course, music. Zellweger is successful enough in evoking Garland with her singing to elevate Judy, despite its struggles to break new ground for Hollywood memoirs.

From Joker to Jojo Rabbit, check out the most anticipated releases from the fall festival season. As the summer moviegoing season comes to an end and the major glut of blockbusters dries up until Christmas, Hollywood’s focus turns to fall and the endless chaos of awards season.

Hollywood studios have several music biopic movies in development, and here are all the ones we know about. While musicals, music-themed movies, and music biopics are nothing new, it seems there's a new trend afoot, in which studios are starting to make music biopics a cornerstone of their yearly releases.

An official trailer for Judy has arrived online. Starring Renée Zellweger as the showbiz icon Judy Garland, the biographical drama is one of many films to keep an eye on this awards season. In addition to featuring an Oscar-winning star, the movie is based on Peter Quilter's Tony nominated play, End of the Rainbow, and helmed by the Almeida Theatre's current artistic director, Rupert Goold. Couple that with the fact that memoirs about famous performers (especially singers and/or Hollwood legends) often fare well on the road to the Oscars, and Judy has a lot working in its favor.
