Oscars 2018: First-Time Nominee Spotlight7 of 18
Laurie Metcalf, Lady Bird
Category: Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
Perhaps still best known as Jackie from "Roseanne," for which she won three Emmys, Metcalf is an acclaimed stage actress and original member of the highly-respected Steppenwolf Theater who many wished took more movie roles. After her performance as Lady Bird’s mother in Greta Gerwig’s coming-of-age tale, the offers will surely be flooding in. Let’s hope she takes them as we want more Metcalf!
