You don’t have to go the full De Niro, but an image change often leads to Oscar gold.
Known for comedy? Go dramatic. A tough guy? Go comedic. Strikingly beautiful? Glam down.
This awards season funny lady Melissa McCarthy, who earned a supporting actress Oscar nomination for the raunchy 2011 hit “Bridesmaids,” has been receiving stellar reviews for “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” as a prickly and lonely celebrity biographer. McCarthy is on the fast track for Oscar-consideration this year.
Also, a shoo-in for multiple award nomination is Lady Gaga, who traded in her meat dress and platinum blonde tresses for jeans and dark hair to play a struggling singer/songwriter in the acclaimed remake of “A Star is Born.”
Even when the Oscar was in its infancy, performers found altering an image caught the attention of the Academy voters.
