Renée Zellweger on Winning an Oscar & Playing Judy Garland

I don´t know why she gets so much hate by other WOMEN for aging, she is so down to earth, awkwardly sweet, talented and she is beautiful.

[aydanr]

I'm Soo glad that people respect her again. It wasn't even 10 years ago they were dragging this woman through the dirt because she aged as all humans do. I've always loved her since Dazed and Confused.

[AlirezaTalebi]

Who else is here, thinking this interview was after she won Oscars in 2020?!

[savitarajput]

Whenever I see her I expect British accent due to Bridget Jones.

[londonvon]

she's so fit. That dress hugs her body so well. She's 50 years old!!! She looks fantastic.

[jorgealfy]

She is so grounded and humble, even after delivering what's quite possibly one of the best performances in cinema history, I'll never forget her in Judy.

[racheldollton]

She was so good as Bridget Jones, it's so weird not hearing her with a British accent.

[RaviKiran-xzrg]

She is more convincing as Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) sister than any other in Grey's anatomy

[mrc]

She is sooo deserving an Oscar for her performance as Judy!

[hughmac]

A lovely person. Intelligent, talented, and humble.

[farmzboi]

she is so normal and humble, it's so refreshing!

[veronicacornavaca]

I love how she laughs so candidly and fully. It is really refreshing.

[Ernie]

She will get the second Oscar and it will be so well deserved. What a talented woman and yet so humble. Gotta love Renée!!

[Heusos]

Well, she now has another Oscar under her belt. Well-deserved-- she's truly talented.

[shutupandeatasmr]

Her portrayal as Judy Garland was impeccable. She deserves the win!

[blankiki]

She’s such a talented actress. I love her movies. She also has a beautiful aura, which makes it difficulty not to like her and She’s certainly not pretentious.

[wishmaster]

I like Rene because she is one of those genuine actors in this world.

[silversau]

I love her, she is so genuine, smart and charismatic.

[deemor]

I absolutely ADORE this woman! She can do no wrong.

[kristintrisha]

Renée's performance was phenomenal, she conveyed the story with grace and true feeling. I walked out of that theatre with a heavy heart and a deeper appreciation for this art form. To make people feel is powerful.
