Oscars 2018: First-Time Nominee Spotlight5 of 18
Allison Janney, I, Tonya
Category: Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
There is a lot of love for this hard-working actress, whose 120 IMDb credits range from the witty White House press secretary C.J. Cregg in "The West Wing" to numerous acclaimed indies such as Juno (2007). But it is her performance as chain-smoking mother LaVona in I, Tonya that has secured her first Oscar nomination, and after picking up numerous awards including the Golden Globe and BAFTA, this could be Janney’s year.
