Gosford Park (2001)
Robert Altman's 2001 English country house mystery with substantial class commentary. Julian Fellowes screenplay foreshadows Downton.
Actor: Emily Watson
Emily Watson was nominated for Best Actress for her first film, Breaking the Waves, playing a woman whose faith and sexuality the film puts through something close to torture, and it is among the most exposed debut performances in cinema.
Hilary and Jackie brought a second nomination, and she learned to mime cello playing convincingly for it. Chernobyl gave her a composite scientist character, and Gosford Park and Punch-Drunk Love fill out the range.
