De Niro, Streep, Lange, Washington, Blanchett, and now, Zellweger. She joins an elite group of actors who won Lead Acting Oscars after first winning in Supporting. One thing those actors have all in common is career longevity, too.
So, where do you see Zellweger going from here? A quick search of her IMDb profile shows she has no new projects scheduled at the moment... Do you think top offers will be coming her way?

I think she should be a part of ensembles tbh - Knives Out sequel is made for her - I am not sure what she could star in but I'm rooting for her I think we need to see her in something less exotic to familiarize ourselves with her again.....comedy might be a nice move - she's very winning in comedy.....this year was a perfect storm for her, comeback, legendary role, good enough performance, weak year to be able to win as a sole nominee......I mean talk about hitting the jackpot. The 6 actors mentioned above are either GOAT level - De Niro, Lemmon, Streep or arguable generational bests at least - Blanchett, Washington, Lange ..........I don't think any of us holds her that high but maybe that's just me........ |

I kinda see her becoming much more of a selective actor, kind of like DDL -- someone who doesn't feel the need to come out and crank out film after film. Part of it is probably out of an unfortunate necessity due to how skewed Hollywood is against actresses of a certain age, but I get the real sense that she doesn't feel the drive anymore to work as often as her contemporaries.

Agreed. I prefer her in Bridget Jones and Chicago to her Oscar-winning performances. |

I'm sure she'll win an Emmy at some point. TV is a gold rush right now.

Meryl & Denzel being consistently excellent, year after year, have a different kind of career longevity (and much more honorable) than just staying in the biz by getting cast in this and that and having some luck time to time, not comparable. Anyway, recent history tends to shows that winning the best Actress Oscar isn't really helpful for many of the winners (Witherspoon, Swank, Winslet, Moore...) and if you are not even "hungry" for roles like Zellweger seems to be, I'm not expecting miracles. TV may be the way to go for her, we will see...

I think she'll be more selective and Bullock-ish. She definitely seems over the whole thing considering she's started talking in her real accent again so I don't really see her going full speed ahead now she's back in the club.

TV may be the way to go for her, we will see... Yes, I don't really expect to see her do that much outside of television. Part of it is because she can choose to be selective, but also I don't really know if there's a lot of roles out there for her. I mean yes she is a two time Oscar winner and Judy did do well enough at the box office, but I still think she'll struggle because she's not A-List like she used to be, and there's other actresses in that range that they'll still go to first like Nicole, Sandra, Cate, Charlize, etc., similar to Hilary Swank's career I think. Although I think that she's more versatile and at her peak was definitely a bigger star than Swank ever was. |

Yeah, agreed with most on here. Although I would not be surprised if she sticks with indie features.

Although I think that she's more versatile and at her peak was definitely a bigger star than Swank ever was. I guess I could see her snatching a really juicy role in a critically acclaimed "indie" down the road, but it does feel like she's over as far as "Oscar baity roles" go. The fact that she's gotten so seemingly selective now probably doesn't help. Then again I'm not sure anyone saw her making such a huge comeback seven years ago, when the "what happened to Renee Zellwegger" discussion started popping everywhere, so you never know. |

I think Zellwegers case just shows how unpredictable careers of actors are often. She seemed to be disappeared two years ago, now she's a two time oscar winner.

You all just wait until next year when great thespian Jennifer Hudson wins her 2nd - you will all be saying she's no Renee Zellwegger!  Related 2020 side note: Tom Hanks, winning his 3rd BA next year which I believe is somehow 3 MORE than Willem F'n Dafoe - will put Hanks at number 1 on GOAT lists ahead of the everyone, ever. It will be funny going from "the Academy always snubs him!" to that..... You have to appreciate it all really   |

It will be funny going from "the Academy always snubs him!" to that..... You have to appreciate it all really Lol, singer biopic is gold mine for leading category, Next year Hudson's Aretha Franklin and Chalamet's Bob Dylan could be the contenders, I wonder if Rebel Wilson will play Adele and where the hell is Michelle Williams' Janis Joplin! Hanks got a handful of movies this year, which film do you think he could be nominated? Not the Original Poster, but Pete Hammond is already touting Hanks for News of the World and Jessica Chastain for The Eyes of Tammy Faye next year. I'm not sure how reliable Hammond is with real scoop, but if both projects actually pan out, I don't see why Hanks and Chastain wouldn't be nominated. Of course, I have more faith in News of the World right now, but I could also see Michael Showalter being the next director from a comedic background being nominated for Best Picture and/or Best Director. He did pretty well with The Big Sick probably which was probably somewhere in the 10-15 range for Best Picture. As for the Aretha Franklin film, I want it to do well just because it feels wrong to want to jinx a film about a black woman, but I really don't want Hudson to get anywhere near winning a second Oscar which could definitely happen if that film is successful. She was okay in Dreamgirls because most of that was singing, but she's such a terrible actress, imo, who seems like she's gotten worse rather than better. Also while I was a fan of her singing when she was on American Idol and in Dreamgirls, I'm over that too. Just too much over singing now, and in Cats it was like the worst of both worlds, terrible acting and screeching one of my favorite songs. I think that Chalamet's Bob Dylan movie might come out next year. He'll probably be nominated, but I could see him losing to Bradley Cooper because Cooper feels like he'll win soon with either Nightmare Alley or definitely his Leonard Cohen film, and Chalamet would still be incredibly young to win Best Actor. (I think I have the release dates have some of these movies wrong, but I'm too lazy to go look them all up lol.) I'm sad that Williams's Janis Joplin project seems to be on hold maybe indefinitely because I haven't heard about it in such a long time, and Williams has other projects that she's attached to plus will probably take time off after having a baby. Maybe they'll go with another actress if they want to make it sooner, which is a shame because that likely would have been Williams's ticket to finally winning the Oscar. ETA: I just remembered that Viola Davis in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is another performance that Hammond said could be nominated next year. |

I think she's a great talent, but she obviously doesn't care enough. How often have we seen her on the shortlists for prestige projects?
