By this shirt here: Labrador My Dog Think I Am Perfect Who Cares What Anyone Else Thinks Shirt, hoodie and sweater
Vanessa Kirby, best known to American audiences for playing Princess Margaret in the first two seasons of The Crown, received the Labrador My Dog Think I Am Perfect Who Cares What Anyone Else Thinks Shirt, hoodie and sweater -actress award at Venice for Pieces of a Woman—in which she plays a woman who loses her infant daughter during a home birth gone terribly wrong—and is certain to be in the running at Oscar time. So far, her chief competitors seem to be Frances McDormand, already a two-time Oscar winner, for Nomadland; Oscar-winner Kate Winslet (and possibly her costar Saoirse Ronan) for Ammonite; as well as two other past Oscar winners, Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) and Jennifer Hudson (playing Aretha Franklin in Respect), and previous nominees Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit) and Amy Adams (Hillbilly Elegy).
Those two festivals, one held with socially distanced in-person screenings and the other held primarily online, seemed to have sharply narrowed the Labrador My Dog Think I Am Perfect Who Cares What Anyone Else Thinks Shirt, hoodie and sweater -picture race to a handful of films and have begun to clarify some of the other top races, most notably best actress and best director. With Telluride and Cannes both canceled this year, and with the New York Film Festival scaled back, Venice and Toronto may hold even more sway this year. In what promises to be the strangest of awards seasons, with continued uncertainty about when people will feel comfortable returning to movie theaters and the Oscars already pushed back two months to April 25, one factor remains constant: The Venice and Toronto film festivals are still a reliable predictor of the films that will most likely compete for the top awards.
