Being Julia Plot

Being Julia is a 2004 film directed by István Szabó.

Set in the world of the London stage in the late 1930s, reigning diva Julia Lambert's success and fame grow suddenly wearisome. She falls in love with a young American Tom Fennel and begins a passionate affair. When she realises that Tom is just a young social climber whose real passion is ambitious young starlet Avice Crichton, Julia begins to plot a delightful revenge.

For her performance in the film, Annette Bening won the "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy" in the 2005 Golden Globe awards, and was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award and an Academy Award.
