I have a feeling Renée Zellweger deserves an Academy Award for her truly remarkable portrayal of Judy Garland. She’s genuinely excellent and manages, to some degree, to give those of us who missed seeing Garland at the height of her career a glimpse into what it was like to witness a genuine – albeit imperfect – star.
