is it about men in fat suits that film critics love so much? Brendan Fraser receives rave reviews playing a morbidly obese man in The Whale and is nominated for an Oscar, while Gary Oldman ridiculously won Best Actor for chunking up to play Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. But Gwyneth Paltrow, who played a female ‘whale’ in Shallow Hal, never got a look in.
