Renee Zellweger was in Paris this week at the premier of her film Judy, but of course she’ll be back in time for Oscar parties. Everyone seems to agree that she will take home the Best Actress Oscar, so it’s rather discouraging for the other nominees. We were not crazy about the Judy movie, and although Renee was excellent, we thought Charlize Theron was equally amazing in Bombshell. LOVE this photo of Rene cuddling somebody’s “wolf-dog” puppy after the Judy premier.

The problem there is that nobody can stand the flaky reefer smoking Charlize
We thought Judy was surprisingly good–a much smaller film in scale and tone than we were expecting.
The real find is Jessie Buckley–the young aide de camp; hers and Judy’s relationship is the heart of the film, and Buckley has an unusually fetching look: a pretty Tomboy, so to speak (think a sort of Minnie Driver–if Driver weren’t Fugly on Stilts).
The family (in real life) has not supported the film, but they should count their blessingings: Sid Luft was in fact a legendary piece of human garbage, having once sold Judy as chattel via an illegal contract (under the U.S.Constitution–which has outlawed slavery!) he tricked her into signing.
THAT film has yet to be made.
