TRAILER: Carey Mulligan is an Oscar Player in ‘Suffragette’
The trailer for Sarah Gavron’s Suffragette from Focus Features is here and it looks to be a major Oscar player this year. Inspired by real events, Mulligan plays Maud, a working wife and mother who is recruited by the women’s suffragette movement in the U.K. Meryl Streep plays Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the women’s rebellion and the film also co-stars Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson and Anne-Marie Duff. The film opens the BFI London Film Festival and opens October 23rd.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
