Oscars 2018: First-Time Nominee Spotlight8 of 18
Lesley Manville, Phantom Thread
Category: Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
This British actress is a true acting treasure who has nearly 45 years of screen acting and seven Mike Leigh movies to her name. But it is her performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread that has finally secured her Academy attention. There aren’t many that could overshadow Daniel Day-Lewis but as stoic sister Cyril, when Manville says: “Don't pick a fight with me, you certainly won't come out alive,” you believe her.
