- "Scandal" refers to the fall of Roger Ailes, boss of Fox News, accused of sexual harassment in 2016.
- Jay Roach has mixed reality and fiction to tell this story.
- The theme of the film as the talent of the actresses could seduce voters at the Oscars.
In Jay Roach's Scandal , Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie play three strong women who brought down Roger Ailes (1940-2017), boss of Fox News and right hand man of Rupert Murdoch, because of sexual harassment. "It's a story so strong that it reaches a large audience," explains the director in the press kit.
If the producer character played by Margot Robbie is fictional, the journalists Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly, embodied respectively by Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman, really exist and really forced Robert Ailes to resign in 2016. Only Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie are cited at the Oscar but all three deliver exceptional performances against John Lithgow (seen in Winston Churchill in the series The Crown ) in libidinous boss. 20 Minutes explains why they could win.
Their roles are exciting
Charlize Theron is unrecognizable thanks to makeup artist Kazu Hiro, also cited at the Oscar for his work. She also worked on her voice so that she resembled the presenter as closely as possible. Such a spectacular transformation had already earned him a statuette for Patty Jenkins' Monster in 2004. Margot Robbie gives life to a complex character, that of a young woman who yields to the stalker. She is overwhelming in this role which confirms her already brilliant talent in Moi Tonya by Graig Gillepsie and Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino.

They represent strong symbols
The scandal the film talks about foreshadows the one who floored Harvey Weinstein in 2017 followed by the creation of the hashtag MeToo. It is also at the center of The Loudest Voice series , broadcast on Canal +. This story was one of the first to highlight the free speech of courageous women. We can therefore think that the subject and its representatives will be able to seduce the voters and the voters all the more since the Academy has shunned women for certain nominations like that of best director for Greta Gerwig and The Daughters of Doctor March .
They are amazing
Charlize Theron and Margot Robbie would simply deserve their statuettes because they are exceptional in Scandale . According to the results of the Golden Globes and the prognostic sites, the first however risks being dethroned by Renée Zellwegger for Judy de Rupert Goold where she becomes Judy Garland and Margot Robbie could lose in favor of Laura Dern, favorite datum for Marriage Story by Noah Baumbach. We have to wait until February 9 to be fixed.
