Live Poll: Jubilee - Happy 50th Birthday, Sally Hawkins

Intro:

The admirable Sally Hawkins turns 50 today, on April 27, 2026. She amazed the audiences in several fantastic roles. She radiates warmth, kindness, and genuine humanity and she shows courage in taking on extraordinary roles - from The Shape of Water (2017) to Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) and Paddington (2014). Hawkins brings depth and grace to every character she inhabits. Her presence is quiet yet unmistakably powerful. A true original who makes cinema shine brighter. Happy Birthday, Sally Hawkins. Which of her roles was the most captivating? Please tell us here. Click here for Slideshow.

Suggestions:

You can tell me, if there was a most captivating role I missed. Then I'll replace it with one of the minors, like e.g. the short movie or something like that.

@Breumaster​  Hi Breu! My vote will probably go to Maud Lewis in Maudie. You chose some really nice images, by the way (including from Maudie). 

I suggest three edits, two of which are so small that they may be hard to see so I explain them below the excerpt:

shows courage in taking on extraordinary roles from The Shape of Water (2017)to Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) and Paddington (2014).

(The second is the em dash (replacing the en dash) after "roles." The third is a period (replacing the comma) after  Paddington (2014).)

@rubyfruit76​ Corrected. Just there was only the normal dash, which did you mean?

@Breumaster​ An en dash is a short dash (about the length of the letter "n") used for things like separating  numbers (1-10). On most keyboards, it's what you get when you press the hyphen and dash key and do nothing else. 

An em dash is longer ( — ) and is used to indicate a break in the sentence. That's what you need after "roles," although you could also use parentheses or a colon there. If you have a Mac, you can probably get the em dash by holding the option key, the shift key, and then pressing the dash/hyphen key. I don't know how to do it on a PC but you can easily  find that out on Google. Oh, here's the link:

https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+get+em+dash+on+pc&client=safari&hs=TwR&sca_esv=c28e6a7449b65c90&channel=mac_bm&sxsrf=ANbL-n5Zk-axfkn4GOTSJYFgvyoatCSisA%3A1777260023417&ei=99Xuaa6OGcSj5NoP-s-vuQ0&biw=1273&bih=639&oq=how+to+get+em+dash+vs.+en+dash&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiHmhvdyB0byBnZXQgZW0gZGFzaCB2cy4gZW4gZGFzaCoCCAAyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBDIIEAAYgAQYogQyCBAAGIAEGKIEMggQABiABBiiBEjdJlDhBljSGHABeAGQAQCYAVigAZEGqgECMTG4AQHIAQD4AQGYAgygAp4HwgIKEAAYRxjWBBiwA8ICBxAjGLACGCfCAgYQABgHGB7CAggQABgIGAcYHsICCxAAGIAEGIoFGIYDwgIGEAAYCBgewgIFEAAY7wXCAgQQIRgKmAMAiAYBkAYIkgcCMTKgB8Q8sgcCMTG4B4gHwgcFMi02LjbIB12ACAE&sclient=gws-wiz-serp 

And if you'd rather use parentheses or a colon, the sentence would look like this:

shows courage in taking on extraordinary roles: from The Shape of Water (2017)to Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) and Paddington (2014).

'Hope that helps. : )

I didn't know this, Ruby. Thank you for expalining. I used the short dash, because I wanted to be absolutely ASCII conform. So I let my texts check through chatGPT for ASCII-conformity. And it says that the em-dash is not ASCII-conform. There are some other formats, I know.There also is Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32. Since some not ASCII-Formats seem to be allowed, there must be another format useable, but which? If I knew, I could also check on this format and be mor free in designing Intros and options. Especially for coming ESC-polls this my be interesting. The song Denmark has this year and also the group has so much special characters, it would be sad to not use them.
