This weekend on Episode 198, we’ll be discussing Natalie Portman’s new film, Jackie. There is a lot of buzz circulating that Portman could end up with a gold statue or two because of her performance as Jackie Kennedy in Jackie. With that in mind, we wanted to discuss Portman and her best performances for our poll this week. Now, she clearly has had some ups and downs in her career. But the “ups” have been really good and she already has one Oscar to prove it. In fact, her performance in Black Swan is so obvious a choice, we decided to leave that off of this poll. In time, Jackie could rival Black Swan, and for now we are nixing both of those choices.
All of that said, which Natalie Portman performance stands out to you given that criteria?
