Oscar News Number 3

My wife and I try to watch every movie nominated in the various categories each year.

Several nights ago, we watched Spencer, which is a historical fiction psychological drama about Princess Diana, who is spending the Christmas holidays with the royal family at the Queen’s Sandringham estate in Norflok.

It is set apparently just before Princess Diana files for divorce. The entire focus of the film centers upon Princess Diana and she demonstrates passive-aggressive behavior toward the royal family and disassembles psychologically.

Her characterization reminded me of a bird trying to survive in a nest of vipers.

Not very pretty to watch, but very interesting.

We have seen four (4) of the five (5) nominees for Best Actress and I rank this performance as Number 2.

You can watch it for free on Hulu or rent it on Amazon.
