Speaking to the Radio Times Podcast<\/strong> and featured in this week\u2019s issue of Radio Times magazine<\/strong>, Colman revealed her thoughts about whether we\u2019re in a \u201cnew era\u201d when it comes to female representation on screen.<\/p>\n When asked whether this new period of time signals a turn towards \u201cfully-fleshed female characters\u201d, Colman responded: \u201cThere\u2019ve been many fantastic female-centric films which have moved me.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd some of the biggest-grossing films, Barbie, Bridesmaids, Thelma & Louise, are led by women.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople say men get paid more because they get more bums on seats. That\u2019s a lie! It can be proved in the box office. I don\u2019t know why we\u2019re still having to discuss it!\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, Barbie is dominating much of the awards chatter so far this year, with the Greta Gerwig-directed film securing five BAFTA<\/a> nominations going into this weekend\u2019s Film Awards.<\/p>\n As for Colman, she will be in attendance due to her role in Wonka, which has been nominated for Outstanding British Film alongside the likes of All of Us Strangers, Poor Things, Saltburn and more.<\/p>\n Coming up for Colman after that is Wicked Little Letters, which sees a reunion between the actress and Jessie Buckley after their acclaimed performances in 2021\u2019s The Lost Daughter as younger and older versions of main character Leda.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, Colman stars as Edith Swan in Wicked Little Letters, a mystery film that sees Colman\u2019s Edith and other women in their seaside town targeted by a series of anonymous and outrageous letters.<\/p>\n Speaking about her role in the movie and how Wicked Little Letters offers commentary on the treatment of women post-war, Colman also told the Radio Times Podcast<\/strong>: \u201cThe women are looked at and judged and, unfortunately, that still exists. Trolling is something they did even then, but in the form of letter writing.<\/p>\n![\"Jessie](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2023\/12\/Jessie-Buckley-and-Olivia-Colman-in-Wicked-Little-Letters-a3c685b.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Jessie")
