O.K., we might as well do this: It's Friday & it's Lounge. But didn't she get a Juvenile oscar?

Somewhere over the rainbow, an Oscar may be waiting for Renee Zelweger after her portrayal of Judy Garland in 'Judy', writes Brian Viner

.... We have lately become used to – if you’ll pardon the pun – garlanded music biopics. This year alone, Rami Malek bagged an Academy Award as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, while Taron Egerton received enthusiastic plaudits for his Elton John in Rocketman. ‘I’m still standing,’ he sang.

Zellweger leaves them both standing. She is astonishingly good, not just looking and sounding like Garland, not just nailing the mannerisms, but also giving a performance of startling power and depth. When she sings The Trolley Song, you’d swear you were watching documentary footage. But she also perfectly captures the star’s unpredictability, her vulnerability. Somewhere over the rainbow, maybe there’s an Oscar waiting. That would be true poetic irony, for Garland never got one. ....

In London, Garland is assigned an assistant, Rosalyn (Jessie Buckley), whose Herculean task it is to make sure she gets to the Talk of the Town unsodden with booze, and not rattling with pills. She fails.

There is an electrifying moment when Rosalyn literally shoves Garland on stage. It’s like pushing a loose cannon. And yet, while in the wings she is addled by drink and drugs, plainly terrified, in the spotlight she is suddenly coquettish and charismatic. ....

1. IMO Zellweger looks and sounds NOTHING like Judy Garland in that trailer.

3. I don't see the impersonation either, but maybe she "got" the heart? I'll look at it.

4. Plus, it *steams* me that Grace KELLY took the oscar (she bought the "princess" title for $2M, too).

But Judy will be remembered and the cash princess *won't*!1
