Let’s take a moment to enjoy Natalie Portman today. These are photos from last night’s AFI Fest premiere of Jackie, the film where Portman plays Jackie Kennedy in the immediate aftermath of JFK’s assassination. Portman is getting a ton of Oscar buzz for her performance, but I believe Emma Stone’s performance in La La Land is the current “favorite” for Best Actress these days. So it might have been a good opportunity for Portman to turn on the charm, right? Wrong. Portman had a face like thunder in every single photo from the premiere. It’s actually really funny, mostly because… we’ve all been making this thunder-face in the past week, haven’t we? This is the face of half of all Americans are making as they realize how bad it’s going to be.

As for Natalie’s look here, she’s wearing Dior. Dior has been doing dresses for several pregnant women, to mixed results. I thought Marion Cotillard’s Dior dress was super-boring last week (it was basically just a shapeless tent dress), but Dior did okay by Portman. Maybe she’s one of their favorites.

Obviously, ahead of last night’s premiere, Fox Searchlight released a full-length trailer for Jackie. This one gives a better glimpse of why Portman is being so heavily favored for an Oscar nomination. While her “Jackie voice” is bugging me, the truth is that Jackie really did speak that way. Anyway… I will probably watch this.
