Academy Awards for her role as Judy Garland in the biopic of the singer and movie star. Zellweger was the favourite for the award, but faced competition from Saoirse Ronan in Little
Women, Cynthia Erivo in Harriet, Charlize Theron in Bombshell and Scarlett Johansson in Marriage Story.
Judy is set mostly in the last year of Garland’s life, as she tries to rebuild her career with a series of concerts in London. The film also stars Finn Wittrock and Rufus Sewell (playing two of Garland’s husbands, Mickey Deans and Sidney Luft) and Michael Gambon as promoter Bernard Delfont.
