“Big Little Lies” is the Big Indie Film Winner
“Big Little Lies” was widely expected to dominate the
Limited Series category, but it actually ended up in second place behind Ryan Murphy’s 18-time nominee “Feud: Bette and Joan.” Regardless, the HBO miniseries was the big winner for indie film’s invasion of the
Emmys with 16 noms total.
The driving stylistic voice behind the series was Québécois filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée, who deservedly earned a a Best Director nomination. Unlike fellow nominated directors for “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “The Crown,” Vallée was behind the camera for all seven episodes of “Big Little Lies,” setting and expanding the tone with his trademark directorial touches. He was helped by his longtime DP Yves Bélanger, who earned a Best Cinematography nomination for shooting the finale, “You Get What You Need.”
Both Vallée and Bélanger came to “Big Little Lies” directly from working together on indies like Oscar winner “Dallas Buyers Club” and nominee “Wild.” These films proved the duo had a gift for getting the very best work out of their actors, as Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won Oscars for “Dallas,” while Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern earned nominations for “Wild.” The memory-laden, montage-heavy film style they perfected in “Wild” stayed consistent for “Big Little Lies,” and it’s what made the show so impactful. Without these film talents, “Big Little Lies” might not have ended up with its Best Limited Series nomination.
Five of the series’ cast members were also nominated, and they represent a mix of indie darlings and Hollywood stars: Nicole Kidman and Reese Witherspoon for Lead Actress, Shailene Woodley and Laura Dern for Supporting Actress, and Alexander Skarsgård for Supporting Actor.
