Welcome to a special edition of the Envelope newsletter, your comprehensive guide to awards season. An awards contender to watch for Pamela Anderson in “The Last Showgirl.” Miley Cyrus, “The Last Showgirl” “I think I’ve been getting ready my whole life for this role,” Pamela Anderson said onstage after Friday’s world premiere of “The Last Showgirl,” a film in which she portrays a woman who has been playing the same role for decades and finally has to decide for herself what comes next. The song captures the spirit of so much of the film, the difficult transaction of beauty as a part of one’s professional life and sense of self-worth, the broken ache of Cyrus’ voice conveying a sense of wounded resilience.The song’s co-writer and producer Andrew Wyatt co-wrote the Oscar-nominated “I’m Just Ken” from “Barbie” and won an Academy Award for co-writing “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born.” “The Last Showgirl” is for sale at the festival and among the many things to recommend about it, a sharp distributor could make a strong campaign for original song. I spoke to women from his era, they were like, “He was the guy that showed up for me when my father passed away.” I think he’s doing an Andy Kaufman thing.
