Sydney Sweeney's performance in the TIFF-premiered biopic "Christy," about boxer Christy Salters Martin, is generating significant Oscar buzz. Sweeney's portrayal of Martin, a female boxing trailblazer who overcame abuse, is lauded as her best yet. The film showcases Sweeney's transformation into a gritty, muscular persona, distinct from her usual glamorous image. The film's success overshadows recent controversy surrounding Sweeney's American Eagle ad campaign. "Christy" is slated for a November 7th theatrical release.
