Fox News sexual assault scandal movie 'BombshellMovie' is generating serious Oscar buzz
is not only bringing the Fox News sexual assault scandal back into the public discourse, but it's also generating serious Oscar buzz for the film and its stars Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie. On Sunday the film started its"Conversation Tour," with the stars attending screenings in advance of the film's December release.
The story centers around the sexual assault allegations made against Roger Ailes by former Fox News anchors Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson . Robbie plays a composite character based on a number of women at Fox News who signed NDAs and thus are not allowed to speak on the record about the treatment they allege they received. Ailes, who ultimately was fired as the head of Fox News, is played by John Lithgow.
The Oscar campaign would include nods for Best Picture, Director and Screenplay . Additionally, Theron will certainly be in the running for Best Actress and Kidman and Robbie will likely go for Best Supporting Actress. Lithgow is also a strong contender for a Best Supporting Actor nomination. Considering that the major creative team behind the project have a total of three Oscar wins and nine nominations, it's a safe bet somebody is going to have a good night come the Academy Awards.
"I have no interest in playing heroes," Theron told Deadline."I like playing someone who is complicated and flawed, who at the beginning might be oft-putting...Women don't always do the right thing."
