Julianne Moore has appeared in comedies and dramas ranging from art-house hits to blockbusters for both film and television. Most recently, she starred in
Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Don Jon and Kimberly Pierce's remake of the horror classic Carrie. For her acclaimed performance as Alaska Governor Sarah Palin Moore in the HBO original movie Game Change, Moore received Golden Globe, SAG, and Emmy Awards. Moore is the ninth person in Academy history to receive two acting Oscar nominations in the same year for her performances in Far From Heaven (Best Actress nomination) and The Hours (Best Supporting Actress nomination), after receiving many critic's awards and SAG and Golden Globe nominations for both.
