Kristen Stewart's much-anticipated performance as Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín's Spencer has been tipped as an Oscar frontrunner ever since the film debuted at the Venice Film Festival this fall. And sure enough, Stewart is nominated for Best Actress at this weekend's Oscars ceremony.
“I’m somebody who’s been watching the Oscars forever,” Stewart told Gold Derby. "But the lead-up looks really intense [and] it seems like a really involved, intense process and I never saw myself in it. I’m just excited to share that space, even if it renders me completely speechless, whether I’m onstage or off, I am looking forward to that energy. It’s a room full of people that I have revered my whole life, so it’s such a trip!”
The drama takes place over the Christmas period of 1991, and picks up as the British royal family is making preparations to spend the holidays at Sandringham, the Queen's country retreat in Norfolk. Diana's marriage to Prince Charles has been quietly crumbling for some time, thanks to his ongoing affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles, and in the run-up to the holidays she's on the verge of a breakdown. "Though rumors of affairs and a divorce abound, peace is ordained for the Christmas festivities at the queen's estate," the official synopsis explains. "There's eating and drinking, shooting and hunting. Diana knows the game, but this year, things will be profoundly different."
Larraín is known for his unique and evocative angles on infamous women, having previously directed Natalie Portman in 2016's Jackie, which focused on Jackie Kennedy in the immediate aftermath of JFK's assassination. All in all, there's a lot to look forward to here.
Spencer was released in theaters on November 5th, and is still showing in many areas. But since many people have gotten used to being able to enjoy new releases from the comfort of their own couch, you may be wondering whether there are any streaming options available.
How to Watch
As of February 8, Spencer is available to stream for Hulu subscribers. You can also rent or buy the movie via platforms like Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Apple TV and Redbox On Demand.
