The 2013 New York Film Festival Presents Paramount Pictures' "NEBRASKA" - Pre-Screening Reception

Every once in a while, a supporting performance comes along that overshadows the lead characters of a film. In the case of filmmaker Alexander Payne’s latest tale, and in once unforgettable scene, this would be the remarkable June Squibb.

Get to know the Best Supporting Actress Oscar Nominee in a funny video from Jimmy Kimmel Live.

NEBRASKA received six Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Bruce Dern), Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography (brilliantly shot in B&W by Phedon Papamicheal) and Best Original Screenplay (Bob Nelson).

“I don’t doubt myself when it comes to work,” said Squibb during her pre-Golden Globe interview on CBS Sunday Morning.

NEBRASKA makes its Blu-ray, DVD and VOD debut on February 25, 2014 from Paramount Home Media Distribution. The film is available now on Digital and Digital HD.

Hailed as “an American masterpiece” (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times), the film was also named one of the best movies of the year by the AFI, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, New York Times, The New Yorker, Los Angeles Times, Variety, Huffington Post, Slate, the National Board of Review and numerous critics associations.

From Academy Award-winner Alexander Payne, the director of Sideways and The Descendants, comes the captivating story of a father (Bruce Dern) and his adult son (Will Forte) who embark on a journey to claim a million-dollar prize; what begins as a fool’s errand becomes a search for the road to redemption.

Screen legend Bruce Dern gives “a career crowning performance” (Scott Foundas, Variety) that has earned him widespread critical praise, as well as the Best Actor award from the Cannes Film Festival, the National Board of Review and the Los Angeles Film Critics and Oscar, Golden Globe, SAG, Spirit and Satellite award nominations. NEBRASKA also features an outstanding supporting cast including Stacy Keach, Oscar nominee June Squibb and a “revelatory” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) Will Forte.
