Moore won the Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA for her performance as a woman suffering from dementia in ‘Still Alice’ (2015). She also won an Emmy in 2012 for portraying former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in Jay Roach’s miniseries ‘Game Change’.

Moore is also the only American woman to have won top acting honours at the three major European film festivals. She received the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for ‘Far From Heaven’ (2002), at the Berlin International Film Festival for ‘The Hours’ (2003), and at the Cannes Film Festival for ‘Maps to the Stars’ (2014), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Her filmography includes notable performances in Robert Altman’s ‘Short Cuts’ (1993), Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Boogie Nights’ (1997) and ‘Magnolia’ (1999), Todd Haynes’ ‘Far From Heaven’ and ‘May December’ (2023), and Pedro Almodovar’s ‘The Room Next Door’ (2024), among several other films.

‘The Debut’ premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and has been generating awards-season buzz. In the film, Moore plays a meek New Jersey housewife who is cast in a small role in a local theatre production.

The production is run by a domineering director, played by Paul Giamatti, with Eisenberg directing the film and also appearing in it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Rome Film Fest’s 21st edition will run from October 13 to 25, with ‘The Debut’ set to screen in the festival’s Grand Public section, according to The Hollywood Reporter. (ANI)
