After a number of TV appearances early in her career, Amy Adams has made a glorious return to television in HBO’s eight-episode limited series “Sharp Objects.” The series is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, who won an Emmy for directing another heralded HBO mini, “Big Little Lies.” In this project, Adams portrays troubled reporter Camille Preaker, who just having been released from a psychiatric hospital for harming herself, returns to her hometown to investigate a double murder.
Adams, of course, is most known for her film work, having earned two Golden Globe Awards (from seven nominations), won a Screen Actors Guild Award (also from seven nominations) and has been nominated for five Academy Awards. Those Oscar nominations have been for “Junebug” (2005), “Doubt” (2008), “The Fighter” (2010), “The Master” (2012) and “American Hustle” (2013).
