Helen Hunt's Return To Movies Generating Hot Oscar Buzz
Helen Hunt, Oscar winner for her powerful performance in "As Good As It Gets" is generating buzz for her hot performance in "The Sessions," according to Inquisitr. The film was formerly titled "The Surrogates" and centers around a sex therapist who takes an unconventional "hands-on" approach to her craft. Hunt plays the therapist, who, through sleeping with her clients, hopes to help them heal emotionally and help them to determine exactly what they're doing wrong.

Macy, also a previous Academy Award nominee, stars as a priest working to help Hawkes' character throughout the course of the film. In this quirky-yet-sexy comedy, Helen Hunt makes her return to the big screen is a widely anticipated event.
