Catherine Keener

And then I also thought Best Supporting Actress was really good.

You had Angelia Jolie for Girl Interrupted, Toni Collette for The Sixth Sense, and Catherine Keener for Being John Malkovich.

I was then going to get rid of Samantha Morton and Chloe Savigny and add Julianne Moore for Magnolia and Sissy Spacek for a straight story.

How good is Sissy Spacek? Sissy Spacek

Like I thought it was Rashida Jones.

It wasn't as Catherine Keener.

But like, I just, I mean, with the, with the hair, she's like so stylish and cool and laid back and like, just kind of like quipping in the back.

Yeah.

In terms of casting, in November of 2016, Holly Hunter and Samuel L. Jackson were announced by Pixar to return to their roles, and then in 2017 at the D23 Expo, Craig T. Nelson and Sarah Vowell were confirmed, with Huckleberry Milner replacing Spencer Fox as Dash.

In July 2017, Brad Bird and Ratzenberger were confirmed to be returning.

And in November 2017, Bob Odenkirk and Catherine Keener were announced as new additions to the cast.

January 2018, Sophia Bush, Isabella Rossellini were announced to be voicing Voight in The Ambassador, with Jonathan Banks replacing Bud Luckey as Rick Dicker.

Quick quiz.

Who won actress in a supporting role at the 2000 Academy Awards? Was it A, Catherine Keener for being John Malkovich, B, Toni Collette for The Sixth Sense.

C, Angelina Jolie for Girl Interrupted.

Or D, Samantha Morton for Sweet and Lowdown.

Fixed Kevin's roof after the rain.

I don't think it was Angelina Jolie or Toni Collette because I love both of them and I think I'd remember if they won something like that.

I'm going to go A, Catherine Keener.

Catherine Keener.

This is her second directorial effort.

It stars Margaret Qualley, Aaron Pierre, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Basso, and Catherine Keener.

After a chance encounter sparks a sweeping romance, Maya's future is suddenly upended, sending her on an unexpected journey to love and live again.

Interesting film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival.

And then you see Schwarzenegger and no, it's not.

It's a low to the ground roller coaster.

And then Catherine Keener shows up.

So it's a little bit, but then we have a lot of expositional dialogue that's like I went to therapy and then I wrote a screenplay, you know, and like here is my trauma and here are all sorts of things.

So we're going back to 2008 for Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York.

This one, of course, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Samantha Morton, Michelle Williams, and Catherine Keener.

The synopsis is a theater director struggles with his work and the women in his life as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play.

I've kind of hinted at it a little bit already.

I mean, Samantha Morton, who I just met in, in, in, in the Odyssey and who is basically MVP in that film.

Then also even like the Michelle Williams, who is always such a, it's, it's a pleasant screen presence.

Catherine Keener, who unfortunately is, gone, gone too soon from the film, but it's just like this.

And Jennifer Jason Leigh, who's also just playing a bit of an odd Bob character, but I still, I think she's, she's amazing, like all these amazing actresses, but of course it's, it's, it's Philip Seymour Hoffman, Seymour Hoffman's movie.

it? Yeah, I think so.

Do you remember the brilliant character called Maxine that was played by Catherine Keener, who terrified and traumatized the John Cusack? character

yeah

yeah

The family themselves are one of the film's greatest strengths.

Rose's father, Dean, is played by Bradley Whitford, while Catherine Keener plays her mother, Missy.

Her brother Jeremy is played by Caleb Landry-Jones.

Dean is a neurosurgeon and Missy is a psychiatrist who practices hypnosis.

But Get Out is a film about appearances and it constantly asks us to consider how much we can really know about another person.

What makes the character dynamics so compelling is the difference between what people present to the outside world and what may be happening underneath.

Catherine Keener's Missy is particularly unsettling because hypnosis is central to her character.

Hypnosis has a long history in horror and thrillers.

Okay, today's movie is Get Out from 2017, directed by Jordan Peele.

And it stars Daniel Kaluuya as the main character and Bradley Whitford and Catherine Keener as the two main villains.

This movie is, I would put like late 2010s and 2020s kind of in the same boat with like social horror and all that stuff.

And you know, these movies that have like a heavy message and everything.

I'm looking at the cast list.

I'm going to guess it's Catherine Keener.

Yes.

Catherine.

Yeah.

Anyway, she plays like the mom, but like the mom to an adult.

So she's like, I mean, Catherine Keener is like probably in her 60s now, which is crazy to me.

But not as crazy as that show that I saw last week with Josh Hartnett, who has three adult kids.
