Natalie Portman gets Oscar buzz for Jacqueline Kennedy role
Actress has already won a best actress Oscar for her 2010 ballet film ‘Black Swan’
Natalie Portman is drumming up Oscar buzz in her latest role as the iconic Jacqueline Kennedy in the new movie Jackie, which was shown as part of the New York Film Festival this week.
Portman, 35, already a best actress Oscar winner for the 2010 ballet film Black Swan, plays Kennedy in the days immediately after the 1963 assassination of her husband, US President John F. Kennedy.
Battling conflicting emotions of grief, anger and loss of faith, Portman’s performance is seen by awards watchers as a leading contender in the Hollywood awards season that ends with the annual Oscar ceremony in February.
Jackie opens in US movie theatres on December 2.
