Toni Collette
Nomination:
Australian actress Toni Collette was virtually unknown outside of the Sydney theater scene when she shot to international fame at age 22 with a starring role as an Abba-loving, overweight misfit who gets her revenge in the lively hit "Muriel's Wedding" (1994). Collette’s strong first impression as a frumpy sad sack from Down Under was the first of a remarkably wide range of physical and psychological transformations the actress was admired for. International filmmakers sought after Collette’s gift for totally inhabiting characters. So convincing was her palette of international accents and so thorough were her physical transformations that audiences oftentimes did not realize they were watching the same actress in “Velvet Goldmine” (1998), “The Sixth Sense” (1999), and “Little Miss Sunshine” (2007). In 2008, the Showtime original comedy series “The United States of Tara,” about a woman with multiple personalities, proved to be the perfect small-screen vehicle for a woman known for inhabiting wildly diverse characters. The highly anticipated series written by famed “Juno” (2008) scribe Diablo Cody and produced by Steven Spielberg, found Collette flip-flopping between an aggressive male biker, a promiscuous teenage girl, and a Martha Stewart-like homemaker, among other identities.
