Artist. Mother. Most glamorous prisoner in the yard. These are just a few of the words you could use to describe the wickedly manipulative Ingrid Magnussen, as played by La Pfeiffer in her glorious SAG-nominated turn in White Oleander. 2002 was an incredibly stacked year for female performances and we get into it: the exquisite turns of the four ladies in this film (including Michelle in one of her most psychologically twisted roles), the odd trajectory across voting bodies for Best Supporting Actress nominees that season and the "Oscar narrative" track that can provide momentum to certain actors.
