Both, and/or the actors were Oscar contenders.

Manchester was a downer but Hidden Figures were uplifting.

I’m a long time admirer of Octavia Spencer and for a long time I wanted her to be in the starring role and I got my wish in Self Made as Madame C J Walker. I learned about Madam C J Walker when I took women’s history in college and often wondered why she wasn’t well known by everyone. So I am delighted they finally made a movie of her. She was an amazing woman, a hundred years ahead of her time in business acumen. That Olivia Spencer played the role is so perfect and gratifying!
