One of the biggest snubs on the Academy Awards nominations this year is Emma Thompson for her role as Mary Poppins author PL Travers.
The film, also starring Tom Hanks as Walt Disney, follows the cartoon mogul’s trials bringing the beloved children’s books to the big screen and the author’s resistance to its adaptation.
The parallel story running alongside the Disney plot line charts the author’s childhood in Australia, with Colin Farrell playing her drunkard father whose tragic life is written between the lines of this children’s classic.
