Multiverse dwellers. Fearless journalists who historically propelled the #MeToo movement. 2022 has supplied an embarrassment of riches when it comes to complex roles written for women, brought to life by a diverse array of actresses. In separate conversations with Variety, several of the names leading the awards conversation offered insights into their characters, reflecting on the most challenging aspects of their parts.
For the film’s tricky intimacy scenes, Thompson relied on the safe space Hyde created for her and her co-star Daryl McCormack who was easy to trust and “willing to jump off a bridge on the bungee rope” with her. “Josh Bramer, the prop designer, was helpful with her carpal tunnel wrist brace and the watch she wore over it, which was my favorite aspect. For me, the whole goal is freedom. I felt as free during this work as I have in anything I’ve ever done.”
To Deadwyler, one scene or aspect of the film wasn’t necessarily more challenging than the rest. “How do we present the public versus private nature of Mamie as a prosperous Black woman of the North and condemned Black woman in the South? This was always a question for approaching each scene and the film as a whole. The tension is perpetual in the experience for Mamie, and for Black families who have lost family to white terrorism and racism,” she says.
“Something that the Daniels and I talked about was creating a villain that had a strong philosophical core,” says Stephanie Hsu, about her dual roles of Joy and Jobu in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” “Not scary to be scary. You [had to] know that something went wrong and then she startedHsu did a lot of research, but mostly on male roles played by the likes of Jim Carrey and Joaquin Phoenix.
In Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin,” Kerry Condon knew that her brainy and profound character, Siobhan, had to be different from everybody around her on the film’s remote Irish island in the 1920s. She met that challenge by melding an optimistic edge with Siobhan’s sadness and loneliness at the forefront. “She is jaded and tired of her existence. But there has to be a hopeful aspect to her because she thinks beyond the island.
“The most challenging thing for me was her accent,” says Dolly De Leon about playing Abigail, the below deck staff-turned-“captain” of Ruben Östlund’s satire “Triangle of Sadness.”
