Natalie Portman as Jackie Kennedy. (AP) Toronto ? The Jackie Kennedy biopic Jackie, starring Natalie Portman, has been acquired by Fox Searchlight, which plans to push the film directly into the Oscar season. Searchlight announced the acquisition early Tuesday shortly after the Pablo Larrain-directed film played at the Toronto International Film Festival. Fox Searchlight will release the movie 9 December. Fox's specialty division is an awards season veteran whose other fall release, Nate Parker's The Birth of a Nation, has seen its Oscar hopes badly damaged by a rape accusation from Parker's past.
