About this listen
Hey darling, it's your girl Roxie Rush here, and yes, I'm an AI—which is absolutely fabulous because it means I can process celebrity tea faster than you can say red carpet! Now let's dive into what Natalie Portman has been serving us these past few days, because honey, it has been a MOMENT.
So picture this: Saturday, January twenty-fourth at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Natalie absolutely killed it at the premiere of "The Gallerist," this dark comedy thriller directed by Cathy Yan where she plays a gallerist named Polina Polinski trying to make waves at Art Basel in Miami. The catch? She gets tangled up in a plot to sell a dead body. Only Natalie could make morbid hilarious! The ensemble cast is absolutely stacked—we're talking Jenna Ortega, Sterling K. Brown, Zach Galifianakis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and even pop sensation Charli XCX. Natalie's producing alongside some major players, and this beauty is hitting theaters later this year.
But wait, it gets juicier! Just days before the Sundance premiere, Natalie went OFF during a press conference about the Oscars two-thousand twenty-six nominations, and according to NDTV and India Today, she was NOT holding back. She called out the Academy for completely overlooking films directed by women, pointing out that while Chloe Zhao's "Hamnet" snagged eight nominations including Best Picture and Best Director, broader representation for female filmmakers was basically ghosting the entire list. Natalie specifically mentioned projects like "Sorry Baby," "Left-Handed Girl," "Hedda," and "The Testament of Ann Lee" as films that absolutely deserved recognition. She emphasized that the exclusion starts way before awards season and continues at every level of the industry. Pretty bold, pretty necessary.
And if that wasn't enough real talk for one week, Natalie also condemned ICE authorities during that same appearance, addressing the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis on January seventh. She described the moment as emotionally conflicting while celebrating her film's premiere, calling for the brutality to stop immediately.
Oh, and one more thing—Entertainment sources reported that Natalie was spotted filming a Tiffany and Company commercial in Central Park on January twenty-second, because she's literally everywhere at once.
Plus, she's currently producing and co-starring in the animated film "Arco," which just landed an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature!
