Oscar Nomination:
For the 2019 Academy Awards, McCarthy is in the race for best leading actress for her portrayal of real-life celebrity biographer Lee Israel, who made a living by forging letters, in Can You Ever Forgive Me?
Razzie Nomination:
In The Happytime Murders, McCarthy stars alongside a cast of raunchy and rowdy felt puppets as Detective Connie Edwards. She must work with a private eye puppet named Phil Phillips, played by Bill Barretta, to solve a string of puppet-related murders.
McCarthy is also being considered for the worst actress "honor" for her work in Life of the Party. The Oscar contender plays a middle-aged mother seeking to continue her education at the same university as her daughter. Chaos and embarrassment ensue when McCarthy's character, Deanna, tries to fit in the college campus.
