Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) continues her reign in psychological horror films with Last Night in Soho.

The mind-bending film follows Eloise, played by Thomasin McKenzie, an upcoming fashion designer who mysteriously travels to 1960s London. However, when Eloise travels to the past, she isn’t herself, she becomes Taylor-Joy’s Sandy, a beautiful singer. The mesmerizing neon lights quickly turn sinister when the past attempts to cross over.

The film was initially slated to release in 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic. Golden Globe-winner Taylor-Joy is no stranger to psychological thrillers. She’s previously starred in Split, The Witch and Glass.

Last Night in Soho was directed by Edgar Wright (Baby Driver) and is set to release in October 2021.

Adding another coveted honor to her resume for her performance in The Queen’s Gambit, actress Anya Taylor-Joy walked away with a Screen Actors Guild Award yesterday during the airing of the virtual awards show on the TBS and TNT networks.

She was up against some Hollywood heavy-hitters like Cate Blanchett, Kerry Washington, Michaela Coel and Nicole Kidman who were also nominated in her category.

Taylor-Joy, who looked stunning in a black lace Vera Wang dress, was awarded the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie SAG Award for playing Beth Harmon, the orphaned chess prodigy in the hit Netflix series. In The Queen’s Gambit, Harmon was not only a fierce chess player, she was also somewhat of a fashionista, a similar trait that seems to be shared by Taylor-Joy’s as here fans pointed out on social media. 

“I’m so unbelievably honored to be in this room. Even though it’s not a room, it’s still mental. It was such a privilege to get to work with the playmakers I got to work with, “Taylor-Joy said during her acceptance speech. “They were so beautiful and supportive and kind. A show isn’t made by one person, it’s made by everybody, and I’m just so, so grateful that I get to do this.”

For the 24-year-old, Miami-born Taylor-Joy, a British-American actress who is of Argentine descent, the SAG Award is the fourth honor she receives for her performance in The Queen’s Gambit. She recently received a Golden Globes for best actress in a limited series or TV movie. Internationally she also received an AACTA International Award and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for the role.

Taylor-Joy first came to prominence in the 2015 fantasy series Atlantis. Accolades started to roll in that same year with The Witch, a period horror film that won the actress nine film festival prizes. Other recent movies that have brought her recognition are Glass, Marrowbone, and Thoroughbreds.

The only other Latinos awarded at the SAG Award were part of the 160 stunt performer ensemble for Wonder Woman 1984, including Carlos Castillo, Dacio Diaz Caballero, Eduardo Gago, Mauro Calo, Pablo Verdejo, Ramon Alvarez and Richard Nunez. Also, Joe Perez stands out among 20 performers in The Mandalorian’s winning stunt group, 

This year’s SAG winners include Chadwick Boseman, Viola Davis, Daniel Kaluuya and Yuh-Jung Youn for performances in motion pictures, and Mark Ruffalo, Jason Bateman, Gillian Anderson, Jason Sudeikis and Catherine O’Hara for performances in television. The SAG awards for outstanding performances by a motion picture cast went this year to film The Trial of the Chicago 7, while the award for television drama and comedy ensemble performances went to the series The Crown and Schitt’s Creek.

Below is the complete roster of recipients for the 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.

The 24-year-old actress of Argentine descent defeated past Golden Globe and Academy Award winners Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman, who competed for their roles in Mrs. America and The Undoing, respectively. Taylor-Joy acknowledged both acclaimed actresses in her acceptance speech. She also prevailed over Normal People’s Daisy Edgar-Jones and Unorthodox’s Shira Haas, both of whom—like Taylor-Joy—were first time Golden Globe nominees.

However, in the case of The Queen’s Gambit star, she got two nods for the coveted award presented by Hollywood Foreign Press Association. She also vied for the Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture musical or comedy for Emma. The award in that category went to Rosamund Pike for I Care a Lot.

A LONG WAY FROM ATLANTIS
The Golden Globe win is a big accomplishment for Taylor-Joy, who now has earned 11 awards and 26 nominations since her debut in the 2015 fantasy series Atlantis. Accolades started to roll in that same year with The Witch, a period horror film that won the actress nine film festival prizes. Other recent movies that have brought her recognition are Glass, Marrowbone, and Thoroughbreds.

Taylor’s Golden Globe was one of two awards for the series she leads. The Queen’s Gambit also took home the prize for best television limited series or motion picture made for television. 

The awards night also featured a few other Latino stars, including actresses Rosie Perez and Salma Hayek, who were presenters, as well as Lin-Manuel Miranda, whose Hamilton musical film was nominated in two categories—for best musical or comedy motion picture and for best actor.  

JANE FONDA’S MESSAGE
One of the biggest highlights of the event was the speech delivered by actress Jane Fonda while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award, honoring the outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Her subject: diversity in Hollywood.

“You know, we are a community of storytellers, aren’t we?,” said the On Golden Pond actress. “And in turbulent, crisis-torn times like these, storytelling has always been essential.”

Fonda talked about the power of stories and art to change hearts and minds and acknowledged the challenges one sometimes faces to understand people of diverse backgrounds at work and life. “But inevitably, if my heart is open, and I look beneath the surface, I feel kinship,” she said and called for more inclusivity in film and Hollywood. 

“So let’s all of us—including all the groups that decide who gets hired and what gets made and who wins awards—let’s all of us make an effort to expand that tent,” added Fonda, “so that everyone rises and everyone’s story has a chance to be seen and heard.”

Taylor-Joy stands out as one of two actresses with double nominations of the prestigious Golden Globes this year.

The 24-year-old actress of Argentine descent competes in the best actress in a comedy feature category for her leading role in Emma, where she faces off against Oscar-nominated and past Golden Globe winners Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit) and Kate Hudson (Music).

Taylor-Joy is also nominated for best actress for the limited television series The Queen’s Gambit, facing off against Cate Blanchett (Mrs. America) and Nicole Kidman (The Undoing), both multiple Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning stars.

Taylor-Joy is a first-time nominee for a Golden Globe.

However, the drama about an orphaned, chess prodigy is not the only Latino-led episodic competing this year for the coveted award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. 

Disney’s The Mandalorian, starring Chilean-born actor Pedro Pascal, is also nominated for best television drama series. The sci-fi western episodic from the Star Wars universe competes against The Crown, Lovecraft Country, Ozark, and Ratched.

Hamilton, the film that captured the live performance of the acclaimed Broadway musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda featuring the original cast, also received two nominations, for best musical or comedy motion picture. The feature about America’s Founding Father Alexander Hamilton competes against Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Music, Palm Springs, and The Prom. Miranda, who stars in the film, is also a contender for best actor, along with Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), James Corden (The Prom), Dev Patel (The Personal History of David Copperfield), and Andy Samberg (Palm Springs).

This will be Miranda’s third Golden Globes nomination. His first two nominations were for best original song for the animated series Moana and later for his acting in Mary Poppins Returns.

In the foreign language film category, the Spanish-language horror flick La Llorona from Guatemala competes against Denmark’s Another Round, Italy’s The Life Ahead, France’s Two of Us, and U.S.A.’s Korean-language dramedy Minari.

La Llorona is a supernatural drama about an aging war criminal facing death and ghosts of his past. Directed by Jayro Bustamante (Temblores), the film is also Guatemala’s official entry for the Oscars this year.

The 78th edition of the Golden Globes will take place on Feb. 28 and air on NBC. Hosting the awards will be comedic actresses Tina Fey (30 Rock) and Amy Poehler (Inside Out) repeating that feat for the fourth time. Fey will be live from New York, and Poehler will be live from Beverly Hills. Nominees will join in live from various locations around the world.

Actresses Zoe Saldana and Anya Taylor-Joy are part of the illustrious list of actors who have signed on to Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell’s (American Hustle) new “untitled film” currently filming in Los Angeles. 

The incredible list of actors attached to this project, is a literal who’s who of Hollywood heavyweights, a comedic legend, and some of Hollywood’s hottest talents.  The list includes:  Academy award-winning actor Robert De Niro and the versatile Christian Bale.  They join two comedic legends and Saturday Night Live alumni Chris Rock and Mike Meyers. Academy Award winner Rami Malek, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington were some of the first actors cast last year.

Saldana is best known for her roles in multiple major Hollywood action and sci-fi film franchises. Her first major franchise role was as Anamaria in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. In 2009, Saldana starred in two of the biggest contemporary franchises to date, first in the reboot of Star Trek as Uhura and second and most notably as Neytiri in Avatar.  Saldana is set to reprise her role of Neytiri in four more of the upcoming Avatar sequels, two of which have already been filmed with two more in production.

Taylor-Joy, the Argentine-British actress, gained acting notoriety in the chilling horror film The Witch as the lead Thomasin. She was a regular in the Netflix TV series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, the BBC’s Atlantis, and HBO Max’s Peaky Blinders. However it was her magnetic performance in the lead role as Beth Harmon in the Netflix wildly popular limited series The Queen’s Gambit that has put her acting career in full throttle.

Russell has also brought on board one of the most notable cinematographers in the business, Mexican born Emmanuel Lubezki, who has gained international notoriety for his breathtaking visuals. Among Lubezki’s highest awards are three Oscars and three BAFTA awards, won three years in a row, for Gravity, Birdman, and The Revenant.  

It takes a three-time, Oscar nominated director with Russell’s track record of films like American Hustle, Silver Lining Playbook, and Three Kings to pull together such a noted cast for one film.  

Not much has been revealed about the storyline of this film, other than it is a comedy written by Russell, based on an original idea of his.
