Williams is nominated for Best Actress at the 84th Academy Awards for portraying Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn.

I am so grateful to be acknowledged by the Academy for my work, which was made possible by the support of our director Simon Curtis and the camaraderie of a terrific ensemble of actors – a special congratulations to Kenneth Branagh – and the fearless Harvey Weinstein. This role has been the challenge and privilege of a lifetime. I would like to think that the recognition our film has received by the Academy is a testament to Marilyn’s legacy.

Williams interviews Michelle Williams and questions her on life after Destiny’s Child and being in the Broadway production of Chicago.

It is going wonderful. It is a dream come true. I mean Broadway, I remember coming here over 10 years ago at the Time Square and seeing all of the lights for the Broadway shows and at the time I couldn’t even afford to go to one. Now I’m in one.
