Marilyn presents an Oscar, 1951
In New York’s Village Voice, film critic Michael Musto noted the irony of Oscar talk about Michelle Williams in My Week With Marilyn, when the woman she plays was never nominated:
“I guess you can get a nomination for recreating the production of a film, but not for having actually been in it…The insanity at the time was that Marilyn was just a giddy sexpot, not an actress – a point of view she herself took to heart…She had a natural magnetic appeal, deft comic timing, and heartbreaking pathos, and she knew exactly what to do whenever a camera loomed.”
