An Oscar nod for Miss Grainger....?

Although the official list of the 2013 Academy Award nominees won't be announced until January 2013, Holliday Grainger's portrayal of Estella is certain to put her name into the arena of speculation as to which female thespians will be featured in the categories Best Actress In A Supporting Role and Best Actress In A Leading Role. She is, I am glad to say, mentioned in some of the Oscar prediction sites and blogs. Come the first month of 2013, we will know one way or the other whether Miss Grainger will be amongst the names read out for Best Supporting Acress.

One MQ pic of Miss Grainger as Estella is all they can offer....

After months of waiting, an image of Holliday as Estella has been uveiled online, but, regrettably, it is a medium quality one. I am dismayed that it wasn't a high-res photo. I have, therefore, not included it in this post, until I can find a version of this production still that is 400kb plus. I could use some help, though, in locating it.

Yet another disappointment regarding photos of Holliday Grainger as Estella....

Hi,

   Another photo from the upcoming film adaptation of Great Expectations has been officially unveiled, but it is of Ralph Fiennes as Magwitch, not of Holliday Grainger. I am starting to believe even more that the publicity surrounding her portrayal of Pip's love interest is going to be reduced to a minimum. That may sound paranoid, but I am basing this assumption on the fact that David Walliams and Jessie Cave have seen images of them as the characters they are playing unveiled, even though those characters are lesser ones than the one that Miss Grainger is playing on screen. I just don't understand why whoever is in charge of marketing is taking so long to release a photo of her as Estella.  Grrrr...it's maddening!

Still no photo of Miss Grainger in "Great Expectations".....

I am sorry to report that not a single photo of Holliday Grainger as Estella in "Great Expectations", not even an image of her on the set has appeared online. I will, of course, continue to keep asking, and, wherever necessary, keep pushing until one such promtiional still is released officially by the film company distributing it.

It's official....Holliday Grainger is one of the new Brit movie clique - 'The Corset Crew'!

    It is one hundred percent official...Holliday Grainger is a member of the new British movie clique called 'The Corset Crew'. She is surrounded by a group of friends that all belong to a specialist crowd of actors & actresses, such as Douglas Booth, Freddie Fox (pictured directly behind Miss Grainger), Ellie Kendrick, Vanessa Kirby (the current TV Estella), Jeremy Irvine, Sam Claflin, Kaya Scodelaario, Tamsin Egerton. To the left of Holliday are two of her friends/co-stars: Alexandra Roach, who has been working alongside her on the new movie version of 'Anna Karenina', and Tamzin Merchant, who starred alongside Holly in 'Jane Eyre', as well as being the new girlfriend of Freddie. This is a far cry from the days when she was commonly associated with the northern acting scene. Now, she is one of the new gathering of potential A-listers that will ensure that the movie costume drama is here to stay.



The long road to stardom......



   If any British-born child actress can claim to have taken a long road to stardom, which has seen them go through childhood and adolescence, culminating with entry into womanhood, then Holliday Grainger certainly can. It has taken from her to a child of six acting in a TV comedy drama to a Hollywood leading lady-in-waiting, as his been stylishly and visibly displayed when she walked down the red carpet last Sunday at the 2012 Orange BAFTA Film Awards. However, if this doesn't put her on Hollywood's radar, her portrayal of Estella in the forthcoming movie adaptation of 'Great Expectations' [production images of her as Miss Havisham's adopted daughter coming soon] surely will. After 18 years of being a working actress, we might well be seeing referring to her as a movie superstar from now on.

No interview in InStyle March 2012 issue......

Sorry to have to report that the March 2012 issue of InStyle magazine does not have an interview with Holliday Grainger. Hopefully, they will have one in the April edition. If they don't do a feature on her in that issue either, then I will complain. I will keep you posted on any such developments.

Just to prove it wasn't just a rumour.....

In case you thought the reports were wrong about Holly Grainger helping to announce the official BAFTA Film nominations, here are some images, as promised, to prove the reports in the media as being correct.

As soon as I have the promo pics of Miss Grainger as Estella, I will be adding them too.



Bad news and good news..........



Sorry about me taking a while to post another entry, but there was nothing new to report. I have returned with bad news and good news: the bad is regarding the availability of promo pics of Holly Grainger as Estella - there are still none; the good is to do with the BAFTAs, as Miss Grainger will be announcing the official nominations for the awards for the film industry alongside Daniel Radcliffe. This event will be on Tuesday morning. Hopefully, there might be pics; if there are, I will post them here.
