How many Oscars is that now? Two. After nominations for three years in a row from 2002 to 2004, she finally won the Oscar for best supporting actress for the American Civil War drama Cold Mountain.What’s next? She has nothing on the agenda (that’s known about, at least). Helen Fielding is writing a new Bridget Jones book so maybe a return to her kooky character lies on the horizon. Let’s just hope she doesn’t take another six years off, as she did from 2010 – 2016.
