Universal Pictures plans to campaign Anne Hathaway in the Supporting Actress category for her role as Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s film “The Odyssey,” according to reports. The move places Hathaway among the contenders featured in the studio’s awards push.
The coverage also notes that Hathaway’s campaign is expected to run alongside co-star Samantha Morton, suggesting Universal is positioning multiple performers from the film within the same awards conversation. While the outlets agree on the core campaign plan and the roles involved, they differ mainly in emphasis—one frames the decision as a marquee push for Hathaway, while the other highlights the pairing of Hathaway with Morton in Universal’s broader campaign strategy.
