‘The Piano Lesson’ Sets Oscar Campaigns, Including Danielle Deadwyler in Supporting Actress
Danielle Deadwyler aims to teach the Oscars about “The Piano Lesson” this awards season.
The critically acclaimed actor, who stars in Malcolm Washington’s directorial debut, “The Piano Lesson,” as the emotionally and spiritually charged widow Berniece, will be submitted for supporting actress consideration this awards season, Variety reports exclusively. Her co-star, John David Washington, will also campaign as the film’s sole lead, while Samuel L. Jackson, Ray Fisher, Michael Potts and Corey Hawkins will each vie for supporting actor recognition. The film will also be submitted in all major categories, including best picture and several artisan categories.
Adapted from the late playwright August Wilson’s “Century Cycle,” the film is set in 1936 Pittsburgh. It follows the Charles family as they grapple with familial trauma and the literal ghosts of their ancestors. The story is a history of violence, cruelty and oppression, symbolized through intricate carvings on a family piano. The fate of this family heirloom — whether it will be sold or preserved as a memorial to the sacrifices and suffering of past generations — drives much of the narrative.
