Her film breakthrough came in 2011 with six releases including Take Shelter and The Tree of Life, earning Academy Award nominations for The Help (2011) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012). She anchored major studio films like Interstellar (2014), The Martian (2015), and It Chapter Two (2019) while continuing to pursue prestige dramas—A Most Violent Year (2014), Miss Sloane (2016), and Molly's Game (2017)—that showcased her range in playing principled, often antagonistic leads. Her breakthrough biopic role as Tammy Faye Bakker in The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021) earned her the Academy Award for Best Actress. She reprised another real-life legend in the miniseries George & Tammy (2022). On stage, she headlined Broadway revivals of The Heiress (2012) and A Doll's House (2023), the latter earning a Tony nomination.
