From potential Oscar contender to a soon-to-be-forgotten mid-March release, director Olivier Dahan‘s Grace of Monaco starring Nicole Kidman as Grace Kelly was recently shuffled out of the 2013 Oscar race and has now landed a March 14, 2014 date, which pretty much squashes any kind of award potential for the film. Yes, it’s a harsh reality I know.
The film begins as Grace Kelly, a former Oscar winner and mother of two, has already spent six years as the monarch of a European nation when the retired starlet was called upon to save Monaco from an escalating situation regarding its standing as a tax haven, with French leader Charles de Gaulle giving her husband, Monaco’s Prince Rainier III (Tim Roth), six months to reform its tax laws.
