As the awards season approaches, all eyes are on the actresses who will grace the red carpet in their designer gowns and jewelry. This year, we can expect to see some of Hollywood’s most talented women compete for various awards and recognition.
One actress who has been on everyone’s radar this year is Frances McDormand. Her portrayal of a grieving mother seeking justice in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” has earned her critical acclaim and accolades from various award shows. She won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama and is nominated for an Academy Award in the same category.
Another actress who is making waves is Saoirse Ronan. The young Irish actress has received rave reviews for her performance as a strong-willed teenager navigating life and relationships in “Lady Bird.” She also won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical and is nominated for an Academy Award in the same category.
Meryl Streep, often referred to as one of the greatest actresses of our time, continues to impress with her performances. This year she starred alongside Tom Hanks in “The Post,” portraying Katharine Graham, publisher of The Washington Post during its coverage of classified documents related to the Vietnam War. While Streep did not win a Golden Globe this year (she was nominated but lost out to McDormand), she received numerous nominations at other award shows including BAFTA Awards.
Margot Robbie also made headlines this year with her portrayal of disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding in “I, Tonya.” The Australian actress received nominations at both the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Actress.
Finally, we cannot forget about Allison Janney who played Harding’s abusive mother LaVona Golden. Janney won both a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress and is now up against Mary J Blige from Mudbound at Oscars 2018 ceremony.
These are just a few of the talented actresses who will undoubtedly steal the spotlight at this year’s awards shows. We can expect to see them grace the red carpet in their glamorous outfits, and perhaps even take home an award or two. Regardless of who wins, one thing is for sure: these women have left a mark on Hollywood with their incredible performances.
