Julianne Moore in London

Oscar nominee Julianne Moore will be discussing her film at a special screening in London next month.

The actress, who is the favourite to walk away with the Best Actress Academy Award, will promote Still Alice at a special screening at the Curzon Chelsea on February 6.

That’s the Friday before the BAFTA’s so I think it pretty much guarantees Moore will be attending the awards on February 8.
