She’s most recently appeared in The Morning Show and Barkskins and the film Moxie.ĭench, who has been nominated for seven Oscars and won Best Supporting Actress in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love, has not yet publicly addressed Harden’s claim. Harden received her second Academy Award nomination, in the same category, for 2003’s Mystic River. (Her dad died the following year, so it was a special moment having him there.) Also, she shared how the night ended with “this crazy paparazzi chase” which had her mother, who thought the trailing cars were people after Harden’s jewelry, to suggest they “fling from the sunroof.” It turned out, after her limo raced to the closest police department that the paparazzi were only chasing her because “They thought I was Russell Crowe.” It included stories about her Harry Winston bodyguard, there to keep an eye on all the borrowed diamonds she wore, going into a “major panic” when she went to go find her dad at the bar.
She detailed how she landed the role auditioning - with Harris telling her to tone down her accent - and her experience as an Oscar newbie at the show. Harden’s interview wasn’t just about the apparent shade from a fellow nominee.
