Michael A Falch

The Oscars: Soon to feature moms

• There's an under-the-radar publicity campaign aimed at garnering an Oscar nomination for the 46-year-old Steen, and if you think that sounds far-fetched (given that you've probably never heard of her, or this movie), you're right. But that's not the same thing as saying it's not deserved. Steen is in every scene and nearly every shot of "Applause," and she portrays Thea with pitiless courage. She's a not-quite-recovering alcoholic and a vicious prima donna, and she has surrendered custody of her two young sons to her ex-husband, Christian (Michael Falch), for reasons we can imagine but may not want to think too hard about.
