We’re coming up on a year since Jacki Weaver strolled into Park City, Utah with her Animal Kingdom director and castmates, dazzled the Sundance Film Festival and commenced a run of acclaim that continues to this day. But while the film’s sweep last month of its native Australian Film Institute Awards was all but a foregone conclusion, Animal Kingdom ‘s Stateside fortune — particularly Weaver’s chances in the Supporting Actress race at the Golden Globes and, Academy willing, the Oscars — is a little more vague. So! Guess who’s back on American soil this week?
