I sat down to interview Kate Hudson for her Oscar-nominated Best Actress performance in Song Sung Blue.
Here’s the synopsis:
Lightning and Thunder, a Milwaukee husband and wife Neil Diamond tribute act, experience soaring success and devastating heartbreak in their musical journey together.
She plays Claire Sardina, a warm, fiercely loving performer whose inner fury ultimately undermines the happiness she briefly finds, shaping the story’s tragedy.
The Best Actress Oscar nomination is a rebirth for Hudson, who was last nominated for an Oscar twenty-five years ago for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous (2000).
In between, she’s starred in:
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
The Skeleton Key (2005)
You, Me and Dupree (2006)
Fool's Gold (2008)
My Best Friend's Girl (2008)
Bride Wars (2009)
Nine (2009)
The Killer Inside Me (2010)
The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2012)
Wish I Was Here (2014)
Mother's Day (2016)
Deepwater Horizon (2016)
Glass Onion (2022)
As evidenced by her filmography, Hudson glides into high comedy because of her natural exuberance. But she also finds roles that bring out her inner darkness.
In Song Sung Blue, she nails both.
