Emily Watson: Subsequent Career
She came to public notice again in another controversial role; playing cellist Jacqueline du Pre in Hilary and Jackie, and received another Oscar nomination for that performance, despite the fact that many of du Pre's friends and fans decried it as an inaccurate and unfair portrayal. Though she won the title role of Frank McCourt's mother in the adaptation of his much-loved memoir, Angela's Ashes, the film underperformed. Later, she appeared as a member of Robert Altman's ensemble piece Gosford Park. 2002 was perhaps her highest profile year to date, seeing her star as Reba McClane in the adaptation of Thomas Harris's Silence of the Lambs
prequel, Red Dragon, as the romantic interest of
Adam Sandler in
Paul Thomas Anderson's curious and quirky Punch-Drunk Love, and in the sci-fi action thriller Equilibrium alongside
Christian Bale. The following year she took time off from the cinema to play two roles in Sam Mendes's dovetailed stage productions of Uncle Vanya
and Twelfth Night, which garnered her an Olivier Award nomination. In 2004 she received a Golden Globe nomination for her role as
Peter Sellers's first wife, Anne Howe, in the HBO movie, The Life and Death of
Peter Sellers.
