Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day

The last year or so was quite friendly to Philip Seymour Hoffman and Marcia Gay Harden, two actors who deserved their multiple chances to shine. Add Amy Adams, the star of Enchanted (also seen in Charlie Wilson's War in a supporting role) to the mix, someone already nominated for her turn in Junebug. She was a sight to see (along with Frances McDormand) in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, a 1930s farce with a serious edge well reviewed here. Her background in dinner theater serves her well too ... great voice. BTW, here's a more expanded update on FBFW, including the divorce issue.
