ELLEN NOMINATED FOR OSCAR!
January 22nd, 2008 Posted in ACTRA Maritimes News
Maritimes member Ellen Page has been nominated for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role Oscar for her work in Juno! She is the first ACTRA Maritimes member to ever receive this honour.
The film has also garnered noms for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay (Diabolo Cody) and Best Achievement in Directing (Jason Reitman). Twenty-year old Ellen will be up against seasoned screen vets in her category: Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age), Laura Linney (The Savages), Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose) and Julie Christie (Sarah Polley’s Away From Her).
And congratulations to ACTRA member Sarah Polley who received the nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay!
Well done, Ellen! We’re all proud of you!
