Toni Collette: Last News

“Aunt Hilda is dying of cancer and I don’t really care.” That’s the opening quote from the trailer for “The Estate,” a dark comedy slated for Nov. 4 about two down-on-their-luck sisters (Toni Collette and Anna Faris) who try scheming their way into the will of their terminal aunt, the ultra-loaded — and not-exactly-beloved — Hilda, played by Kathleen Turner.

In what is often the case, a group of actors known perhaps more for their work on the big screen than on the small screen managed to land most of the six Emmy nomination slots in the Outstanding Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology or TV Movie category. Featuring a past Spider-Man, a past Batman and a past denizen of the Star Wars galaxy, not to mention a Best Actor Oscar winner, we have a lot of big names who also spent time in some unique television projects that called upon other acting skills. Only two of them are in Limited Series that also landed a nomination for the show itself in the main category, so voters clearly did a lot of sampling. Four of them got their first Emmy nomination ever, and none have ever won.

This is a choice category this year that leans, like its male counterpart, to some heavyweight names playing other heavyweight names. It has clearly been a great year for female roles in Limited Series if you simply consider some of the women who didn’t make the cut, including Julia Roberts who was sensational as Martha Mitchell in Gaslight, Jessica Biel as the murderous Texas housewife in Candy, Elle Fanning as the conflicted Michelle Carter who talked her boyfriend into suicide in The Girl From Plainville, Oscar winners Anne Hathaway, Renée Zellweger, and on and on. But let’s now take the contest to those still standing in this highly competitive category.

Collette (“Hereditary,” “The Staircase”) takes over the role previously held by Leslie Mann, who departed the show when production was delayed due to the pandemic. Charles (“We Own This City,” “The Good Wife”) will play the part previously held by Tim Robbins, who himself took over the role from Rainn Wilson.

The Staircase, Toni Collette dies – a lot. The Sky Atlantic show sees her playing Kathleen Peterson, the wife of American novelist Michael Peterson (played by Colin Firth) who was convicted of killing her and sentenced to life in prison in 2003, despite maintaining she had died after falling down the stairs. In 2017, Peterson was released after his charge was reduced to manslaughter and he was sentenced to time already served.

Hunter Ingram Each morning as Toni Collette brushes her teeth, an owl stares back at her.The stoic bird of prey is not perched outside her window but rather ornately sitting on her countertop, contorted into the shape of a ceramic coffee mug that she places her toothbrush into before she starts her day.“It’s there looking at me daily — twice a day if I’m dentally honest,” Collette says. “Maybe I need a new receptacle.”Even if its days as her morning companion are numbered, the mug is a surreal artifact of her newly Emmy-nominated turn as Kathleen Peterson, a North Carolina woman found dead at the bottom of her stairs in 2001 — a case dramatized by HBO Max’s true crime limited series “The Staircase.” The shocking death occupied headlines for months as her husband, Michael Peterson (played by Colin Firth), was tried and convicted of her murder — all of it later chronicled in a 2004 French documentary also called “The Staircase.” The making of that doc was part of the 2022 series.After years behind bars and later house arrest, Peterson was released in 2017 when he accepted an Alford plea, a paradoxical agreement in which he pleaded guilty but maintained his innocence.

Jennifer Lawrence was snapped while out and about in New York City on Sunday, holding a small umbrella to shade herself from the sun – and a very interesting water bottle.The Oscar-winning actress was in good spirits as she strolled around in Manhattan’s West Village, five months after welcoming a baby son with her husband, art dealer Cooke Maroney.She was relaxed in high-waisted loose jeans, a cropped black T-shirt and tan-coloured sandals.Jennifer also carried a navy blue tote bag over her shoulder and wore small oval sunglasses.At one point the star grinned at photographers, but what caught our eye was the fact she had Toni Collette emblazoned on her white aluminium water bottle – because of course.More specifically, the image was Toni starring as Annie in 2018 horror hit Hereditary.Is this Jennifer’s way of declaring her fandom?The bottle looked to feature two memes, with Toni at the top, and appeared to be a custom design.Many would applaud the 31-year-old’s taste, with people seething over Toni being snubbed for her performance in the film at the 2019 Oscars – a film which was scientifically found to be the scariest flick of that year, by the way.The Academy Award nominated actress played a woman grieving the passing of her mentally ill mother, while she and her young daughter go through disturbing, otherworldly experiences linked to generations worth of secrets and trauma in the family.Why wouldn’t you pop that on your water bottle?Jennifer has kept a relatively low profile in recent months since becoming a mother, following her role in the star-studded apocalyptic satire Don’t Look Up alongside Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Cat Blachett and Timothée Chalamet.Archie Battersbee's life support will be turned off

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorHBO Max’s “The Staircase” marks the fifth collaboration for music supervisor Randall Poster and creator Antonio Campos. Poster says that the journey has helped build a musical rapport. When it came to finding the perfect needle drop moments for the true-crime series starring Colin Firth and Toni Collette, Poster looked to music that would help tell the story rather than rely on the musical tastes of the characters.“The Staircase” retells the death of Kathleen Peterson, played by Collette, from a fall from a staircase in her home.

Michael Peterson likely won’t watch “The Staircase” but he has plenty to say about HBO Max’s dramatization of his life.

Knives Out is titled Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.The director revealed the title in a thread on Twitter, where he explained how novelist Agatha Christie influenced his approach to the sequel.“Something I love about Agatha Christie is how she never tread water creatively,” Johnson wrote. “I think there’s a misperception that her books use the same formula over and over, but fans know the opposite is true.“It wasn’t just settings or murder methods, she was constantly stretching the genre conceptually.
