Renée Zellweger is Judy Garland in JUDY - Collider FYC Screening Series presented by Arclight

Renée Zellweger has had a date with destiny ever since the very first screening of Judy, which immediately thrust her into contention for her second Academy Award. For Your Consideration host Scott Mantz led a post-screening Q&A with Oscar-winning actress as part of Collider’s FYC Screening Series at ArcLight Hollywood.

Oh God, Renee is so smart, the way she explains how she did or how she felt about everything is really excellent, it is perfectly understood. I learned several things today.

Biopics need to get out of awards season. They are the Disney Remakes of "Legitimate" cinema. Nothing to say, no artistic value and exist exclusively to pour down the generic bland soup of fake nourishment into viewers. They are the easiest performances to give, resting on copying - the lowest order skill there is - with a modicum of creativity. I refer of course not to the abstract ones like The Favourite and Wolf of Wall Street - they have something to say; nor of films like Ford V Ferrari where nobody's actual persona is being drawn on to tell a true story. But these copy and paste impressions of famous people that churn out undeserved Oscar after undeserved Oscar. This mediocrity that has received half of the Academy Awards available since the beginning of the century...it's time to GTFO.

There is not a solitary person competently evaluating performances who believes with sincerity that this performance (Or Theron's equally futile impression in Bombshell) is better than Elizabeth Moss in Her Smell, the two leads in Portrait of a Lady of Fire, Florence Pugh in Midsommar, Lupita Nyongo'o in Us, ScarJo in Marriage Story, Jessie Buckley in Wild Rose, Saoirse Ronan in Little Women and many more. Those performances stand as phenomenal creative achievements and literally any one of them would be worthy of an Oscar. That they will all lost out to yet another Judy Garland impression (ironically, something that Buckey did TEN YEARS AGO at the age of 17 on a darned basic TV talent show to the same standard as Zelweger does in this film) is a disgrace. There is a claim for diversity, yet this lazy nonsense gets gladanded. Let's be honest, you knew she was getting an Oscar for this 5 seconds into the trailer.
