What are some of Catherine O’Hara’s most noteworthy roles?

Early in her career, O’Hara starred in several Canadian television series such as Second City Television, for which she won an Emmy award. She has frequently collaborated with the same filmmakers, such as Tim Burton and Christopher Guest. She’s appeared in Burton’s Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and more.

Perhaps her most well-known mainstream role is that of mother Kate McCallister in the films Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

Another Emmy win came in 2010 when she starred with Claire Danes in the HBO film, Temple Grandin. Since 2015, she’s starred in the critically-acclaimed comedy series, Schitt’s Creek, as Moira Rose.

Will Catherine O’Hara get nominated for a Golden Globe this year?

It is very likely that Catherine O’Hara will get a Golden Globe nomination for her work in Schitt’s Creek. However, she does face a lot of stiff competition for a nod from the likes of Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-Bridge to On Becoming a God in Central Florida’s Kirsten Dunst.

But, with Schitt’s Creek‘s final season approaching next year, it is very plausible that the Golden Globes will seek to honor the show before it ends its run on the air. And out of all of the categories that the show could be nominated for, it seems like O’Hara would be a very solid bet if the show were to get a nod for something.

Why Catherine O’Hara is a Christmas queen

Holiday season may as well get renamed to O’Hara season. Every year, the actress is seen on television screens across the globe due to Home Alone and it’s sequel airing during Christmastime. That film alone is such a huge part of O’Hara’s legacy. According to Celebrity Net Worth, O’Hara has a net worth of $8 million.

With Golden Globe nominations set to be announced soon, it’ll be no time before we’ll figure out if O’Hara will get that nomination!
