Two time Academy Award-winner, Hilary Swank, is already being named as a likely candidate for an Oscar nomination this awards season for her highly-touted biopic as Amelia Earhart. Director of Amelia, Mira Nair, was thrilled to be able to work with the actress.
“Hilary is like Amelia in the sense that she’s a spiritual daredevil. She throws herself wholeheartedly into whatever she’s doing, but at the same time she has a sense of humor about it, too,” Nair says of the 35-year-old star. The director adds, “I couldn’t think of anyone more appropriate for the role.”
There’s no way she’s not going to get nominated. She’s portraying a real-life American icon whose life ended tragically and mysteriously and for heaven’s sake, she cut off her hair. If that doesn’t do it, then I don’t know what would.
