Known for her work in television and independent films, she has received various accolades throughout her career, including a Golden Globe Award and a Primetime Emmy Award, in addition to nominations for an Academy Award, a Tony Award, and two British Academy Film Awards. After making her film debut in Spotswood (1992) and being nominated for the AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, her breakthrough role came in the comedy-drama Muriel's Wedding (1994), which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination and won her the AACTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Collette achieved greater international recognition for her role in the psychological thriller film The Sixth Sense (1999), and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She received BAFTA Award nominations for her performances in the romantic comedy About a Boy (2002) and the comedy-drama Little Miss Sunshine (2006). Collette's films include diverse genres, such as the period comedy Emma (1996), the action thriller Shaft (2000), the period drama The Hours (2002), the romantic drama Japanese Story (2003), the comedies In Her Shoes (2005) and The Way, Way Back (2013), the horror films Krampus (2015) and Hereditary (2018), and the mystery film Knives Out (2019). Her Broadway performances include the lead role in The Wild Party (2000), which earned her a Tony Award nomination.

For the former, she won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. She has won five AACTA Awards, from eight nominations.

Posey-smokes in every non-workplace scene. I wonder if it's in her movie contracts that she has to smoke. She uses a Zippo in this one.
Cosi
smokingsides
smokes a lot of times on this movie. She is quite beautiful on this one, playing some sort of young and reckless girl.
Dirty Deeds
smokingsides
Collette smokes in four scenes, with only one decent inhale/exhale from a profile view. In 2 of the 4 scenes, Collette only holds. Morassi smokes in two scenes; in the first she only puts an unlit cigarette in her mouth; in the second she has 3 or 4 inhales/exhales, but only of which can you really see.
Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger
smokingsides
Castle-Hughes smokes only once, but it's a nice moment - a close-up profile shot in which she lights up, inhales well and exhales nicely, if slightly quickly. Her drag comes in the form of a tribute to her deceased mother during a seance with several other teenage girls. After she takes the drag, she passes the cigarette to her mother's spirit (or something like that). There's also some early brief talking about smoking between two other girls (who aren't shown smoking) and Toni Collette is shown starting to light up in a wide shot.
Japanese Story
smokingsides
Several serious looking inhales, but disappointingly nothing visible in associated exhales. One hurried visible exhale, immediately before stubbing out. Altogether more business-like than sensual.
Little Miss Sunshine
smokingsides
Smokes cork-tipped while driving early on in the movie, one inhale, then throws out the cigarette when her husband asks over the phone if she is smoking. In another scene, she sneaks one outside a motel room while everyone is sleeping, has a good drag and a moderately visible exhale. Looks good though.
Shaft

Smokes in the trailer
The Boys
smokingsides
She is only in the first half of the movie but makes good use of her time smoking in 6 scenes. There are 2 good exhales overall and a good light up scene which because of a continuality error is enhanced because it is shown from 3 different angles. She seems very comfortable smoking here as in most of her previous films and has me convinced she is IRL.
The Last Shot
smokingsides
Midway, lights up offscreen in a restaurant, holds for a while, then takes one drag.
Velvet Goldmine
smokingsides
She smokes throughout, sometimes Marlboros, sometimes brown or blue cigarettes, with various color filters. Plenty of cheek-hollowing drags. One scene with an extra-long holder. There is also much backround smoking by extras.
