Estelle Harris has passed away at the age of 93, most well known for her role as Estelle Costanza in Seinfeld a show that I eventually watched for the first time last year and she was just perfect as George’s mother on the show. She was also the voice of Mrs. Potato Head in the Toy Story franchise. Rest in peace Estelle.







What better way to celebrate International Women’s Day than a collage of my favourite actresses who have brought me so much joy and escapism from watching them in films or tv shows over the years!
Over the years the Best Actress in a Supporting Role race has become a lot stronger and that is certainly a very positive and good thing! Showing that the female roles are well and truly improving. Laura Dern has been running away with everything this awards season with some people arguing that Marriage Story wasn’t even her best 2019 performance thinking about her in Little Women! Being full on team Jojo Rabbit I would love to see Scarlett Johansson getting this one!

Best Actress in a Leading Role always offers a very varied range of different types of characters. This year we have three that are based on real life people, one from a novel adaptation and one original character. Renee Zellweger has been sweeping this years awards season!
Rachel Weisz for The Favourite
