Inde Navarrette Just Got a Big Boost in the Oscar Race for Obsession
Focus Features is backing Inde Navarrette for Best Actress as the low-budget film earned $500 million worldwide, Variety reported.
- Focus Features launched a major Oscar campaign for Obsession on Thursday, positioning actress Inde Navarrette for a Best Actress nomination as part of a wide-ranging effort in nearly every eligible category.
- Grossing more than $505.6 million worldwide against a $750,000 budget, Obsession became one of the year's biggest theatrical surprises, with its "One Wish Willow" synopsis driving sustained word-of-mouth success.
- Director Curry Barker is being campaigned as a "rare triple threat in best director, original screenplay and film editing," while co-lead Michael Johnston and supporting actors Cooper Tomlinson, Megan Lawless, and Andy Richter are also targeted for nominations.
- The awards push occurs amid an ongoing lawsuit in which producer Leonora Ann Darby alleges partners James Harris and Mark Lane excluded her from profit participation; her lawyer Thomas K. Richards stated she "intends to pursue it fully."
- Variety reports the studio remains undecided on whether Obsession will compete at the Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture in the drama, musical, or comedy categories, even as its Academy Awards strategy intensifies.
