YOU SAID IT WAS UNLIKE ANY OTHER
EXPERIENCE.
TELL US ABOUT THAT.
>> IT REMINDED ME OF THE
THEATER.
IT'S ONLY AN EXPERIENCE I HAVE
GOTTEN IN THE THEATER AND MAYBE
IT'S BECAUSE THE SHOW STARTED.
KENT POWERS WROTE THIS AS A
PLAY.
I THINK IT'S PLAY FIVE
CONFIDENCE ALREADY.
GETTING TO ARGUE WITH HIM A BIT.
IT WAS MAMGICGIC IN THE ROOM.

CLOSE.
WHEN YOU SEE HER TONIGHT --
>> SHE'S GETTING HUGGED.
THAT'S WHAT I CAN TELL YOU.

IT'S BEEN A STRANGE BUT
WONDERFUL TIME.
THE FACT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH
WHAT WE HAVE GONE THROUGH BUT
CELEBRATE THE WHOLE TIME HAS
BEEN SO SPECIAL.
>> YOU'RE IN THE OSCAR RECORD
BOOKS AS THE FIRST MAN TO GET
NOMINATED FOR SONG WRITE AND
ACTING IN THE SAME YEAR.
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL LESLIE WHO
ALMOST QUIT ACTING ONCE UPON A
TIME.
>> DON'T DO IT.
HANG IN IT.
I ALMOST QUIT RIGHT BEFORE IT
GOT GOOD.
I WOULD TELL HIM TO DO WHAT HE
DID.
HA HE DID WAS HE REACHED OUT.
WHEN YOU FEEL LONELY, WHEN YOU
FEEL DEPRESSED LIKE YOU NEED
HELP TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP, REACH
OUT TO SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU TAKE
THE NEXT STEP.
>> SOMEONE WHO HELPED YOU KEEP
ONGOING.
>> MY FATHER-IN-LAW.
I MET WITH HIM AT MARIE
CALLENDAR AND OVER CHICKEN POT
PIE, HE HELPED ME NOT QUIT ON
MYSELF.

OF YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON SO MANY
THINGS.
PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY AS

NICOLETTE.
JUST HAD A BABY FOUR WEEKS AGO.
HOW FANTASTIC DOES SHE LOOK.

IMPOSSIBLE.
HOW DID SHE LOOK THIS AMAZING IN
THIS GORGEOUS DRESS?
AND JUST SO HAPPY.
AND THE TWO OF THEM TOGETHER.
>> THEY'RE GLOWING.
>> THAT TUX, INCREDIBLE.
>> WE WERE WONDERING -- I KNOW
YOU SAID HE'S BEEN DOING A LOT
OF COLOR.
I DIDN'T EXPECT GOLD, SO I'M
SUPEREXCITED TO SEE IT.
>> HE'S ONE OF MY NEW STYLE
CRUSHES.
I LOVE EVERYTHING HE'S DOING
WITH HIS STYLIST AND THEY ARE
JUST TURNING IT OUT.
THEY'VE HAD SUCH A GREAT AWARD
SEASON RUN.
AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE CHERRY
ON THE ICE CREAM SUN DE.
IT IS GORGEOUS AND SHE IS
STUNNING.

EXCELLENCE.
I LOVE SEEING THEM DAY IN AND
DAY OUT.

IT SEEMED LIKE YOU WERE JUST
OWNING THE RED CARPET, ENJOYING

SO, I FEEL LIKE, YEAH, IT'S THE
MOST EXCITING DAY OF MY LIFE.
>> EMERALD, THERE'S BEEN SUCH
INCREDIBLE FEEDBACK AROUND YOUR
FILM.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU AND
WHAT IS SOME OF THE FEEDBACK

>> IT'S JUST HONESTLY IT'S ALL
BEEN INCREDIBLE.
AND I JUST NEVER EXPECTED --
NONE OF US EXPECTED -- WE MADE
THIS MOVIE IN 23 DAYS.
WE NEVER EXPECTED IT TO GET TO
THE STAGE.
I THINK WHAT'S BEEN SO MOVING IS
PEOPLE'S CANDOR AND THE
CONVERSATIONS IT'S OPENED UP FOR
LOTS OF PEOPLE.
IT'S JUST ALL BEEN REALLY
OVERWHELMING BUT IN A VERY
POSITIVE WAY.
>> AND YOUR STAR IN THE FILM IS
CAREY MULLIGAN.
WE KNOW CAREY IS A BRILLIANT AK
STRESS.
>> SHE'S SO GOOD BUT SHE'S ALSO
INCREDIBLY FUNNY.
THAT'S THE THING.
I THINK DRAMATIC ACTORS RARELY
GET TO BE FUNNY AND SHE IS
DYNAMITE AT COMEDY.
>> A LOT OF WRITERS HAVE THEIR
GO-TO THING THEY GO TO TO GET IN
THAT WRITING ZONE, A CERTAIN
PLAYLIST, A CERTAIN TIME OF THE
DAY THEY WRITE.
WHAT IS YOURS SF?

SPEARS.

ASSEMBLED THIS WORLD FAMOUS
CAST.
HOW DID YOU FIND THIS YOUNG
SUPERSTAR RIGHT HERE?

DIRECTOR BY THE NAME OF JULIA
KIM.
SHE DID A NATIONWIDE, ALMOST
GLOBALWIDE SEARCH TO FIND OUR
DAVID CHARACTER.
AND WHEN ISAAC AND I SAW LITTLE
ALLEN'S TAPE, WE SAID THIS IS
THE KID.
THIS IS THE KID.
THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED.

I JUST GOT MY SON ONE TOO.
THOSE ARE SO COOL.
THEY TRACK YOUR STEPS.
THEY DO ALL SORTS OF STUFF.

IT WAS A iPAD MINI5 AND THAT WAS
REALLY COOL.

THAT'S SOME REALLY GOOD GIFTS

GREAT GIFTS.
>> YEAH.

SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANK YOU.
>> AND I MOVED TO THIS COUNTRY
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, AND I
SHARED A ROOM WITH A GRANDMOTHER
FOR A FEW YEARS WHO CAME OVER TO
THE STATES FROM ITALY.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU PROBABLY
HEAR THIS A LOT FROM PEOPLE,
THAT SO MANY PEOPLE CAN RELATE
TO THIS MOVIE AND SO MANY PEOPLE
HAVE EMBRACED THIS MOVIE.
HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
>> HONESTLY, HEARING STORIES
LIKE THAT ARE THE MOST MOVING TO
ME, AND IT MAKES ME VERY PROUD
OF BEING INVOLVED IN THIS FILM.
IT MIRRORS MY OWN CHILDHOOD WITH
MY GRANDMA LIVING WITH US AND
SPENDING EIGHT LOT
SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH HER.
IT'S THE REASON WE TELL THESE
STORIES.
AT FIRST WE JUST SET OUT TO MAKE
A MOVIE BECAUSE IT'S SO MOVING
AND ISAAC'S SCRIPT WAS SO
MEANINGFUL.
AFTER HEARING THE STORIES FROM
PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND HOW YOU
CONNECT TO IT, IT HAS BEEN A
HUMBLING EXPERIENCE.
I'M VERY, VERY GRATEFUL TO YOU
FOR WATCHING THE FILM.
>> WE'RE GRATEFUL TO YOU.
I KNOW EVERYONE WATCHING AT HOME
LOVES THE MOVIE.
IT'S JUST A SPECIAL MOVIE.
BEFORE I LET THE TWO OF YOU GO.
ALLEN, THIS IS YOUR FIRST
OSCARS.
A LOT OF NOMINEES AND PRESENTERS
ARE GOING TO BE HERE TONIGHT.
ANYONE YOU'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
SEEING?
>> NO, NOT REALLY.
I'M FINE WITH ANYBODY.
>> YOU'RE JUST HAPPY TO SEE
EVERYONE?
>> YES.
>> HOW ABOUT YOUR CAST MATES
THOUGH?
I BET YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE
THEM AGAIN?
>> YES.
>> ARE YOU EXCITED TO SEE STEVEN
AND NEIL?
>> UH-HUH.
>> I BET.
YOU LOOK THE PART THOUGH.
YOU LOOK FOR HANDSOME FOR THE
OSCAR RED CARPET.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WE APPRECIATE IT AGAIN.
>> OF COURSE.

TALKING TO US.
BYE.
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
BYE.
SEE YOU.
>> HE'S TRYING TO GET BACK TO
THAT iPAD AND THAT FITBIT.
HE'S NOT WORRIED ABOUT US.
>> HE DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE.
>> I LOVE ALLEN.
HE IS THE CUTEST.
I LOVE HIM.
>> HE'S INCREDIBLE IN THE FILM.
>> YES.
>> JUST ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
HE'S ACTUALLY BEEN DRESSED BY
TOM BROWN FOR ALMOST ALL OF
AWARD SEASON.
HE'S WEARING TOM BROWN AGAIN
TONIGHT.
>> IT'S SO AGE APPROPRIATE TOO.
IT'S JUST THE CUTEST WITH HIS
LITTLE SHORTS.
>> IT IS.
>> THERE'S NO JOKE BEING DRESSED
BY TOM BROWN.
THAT KID'S GOT A FASHION FUTURE
IF NOTHING.
WOW.
>> HE GOT A BIKE, A FITBIT, iPAD
AND CUSTOM TOM BROWN.
>> LOOK AT THE POSE.
HE IS GROWN GROWN WITH HIS POSE
ON THE CHIN.
WHO TAUGHT HIM HOW TO POSE LIKE
THAT?
THAT IS A GROWN MAN POSE RIGHT
THERE.
>> GEORGE CLOONEY, 1980s.
>> THIS IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT
THOUGH, HAVING FUN AND HAVING A
GOOD TIME.
AND, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, I DO FEEL
LIKE THIS IS A BIG REUNION FOR A
LOT OF PEOPLE.
THEY TALKED ABOUT HIM
RECONNECTING WITH STEVEN.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A REUNION OF
SORTS.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE
LIKE FAMILY TIME.
>> I FEEL LIKE THAT WITH YOU
GUYS BEING BACK AGAIN.
>> WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF
ZOOMS.
>> A LOT OF ZOOMS.
IRL, FULL ON GLAMOUR.
>> I KNOW WE TALKED TO STEVEN
EARLIER, BUT SEEING HIM ON THE
CARPET, HE LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT
WANT TO GET BACK TO HIS BIKE AND
FITBIT.
STEVEN WAS LIKE I HAVEN'T BEEN
AROUND PEOPLE FOR A YEAR.
IT'S AN ADJUSTMENT GETTING BACK
AROUND PEOPLE AGAIN.
>> IT IS.
IT DEFINITELY IS.
ONCE YOU'VE BEEN IN QUARANTINE
AND DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT
WE'VE BEEN DOING, TO COME BACK
OUT AND MAKE CONVERSATION WITH
PEOPLE IS A LOT.
>> AND FOR YOUR FIRST TIME OUT
TO BE SOMETHING SO FORMAL.
IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE BREAKING IN
GOING TO A BIRTHDAY PARTY IN THE
BACKYARD.
IT TABS A LITTLE BIT OF
ADJUSTMENT.
WE'VE GOT TO HEAD BACK TO JULIE
ON THE RED CARPET.
>> MY NEXT GUEST NEEDS NO
INTRODUCTION, GLENN CLOSE.
GLENN, SO GREAT TO SEE YOU.
SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING TON RED
CARPET RIGHT NOW?
>> I'M FEELING GREAT.
MY SHOES ARE COMFORTABLE.
>> YOU LOOK FABULOUS.
>> IT'S NOT TWO MILES LONG, SO
THAT'S LOVELY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT
REIMAGINED RED CARPET.
HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT
TONIGHT AND HOW THE TELECAST IS
GOING TO BE DIFFERENT?
>> WELL, I THINK I KNOW AS MUCH
AS ANYBODY ELSE KNOWS SO, I'M
REALLY, REALLY EXCITED.
I THINK IT'LL BE VERY, VERY
DIFFERENT.
I THINK -- I'VE BEEN THINKING A
LOT AS WE WALK IN TONIGHT, WE
ARE -- WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
AN INDUSTRY THAT'S REINVENTING
ITSELF IN MANY WAYS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
HILL BILL
"HILLBILLY ELEGY" PAIRS YOU WITH
RON HOWARD.
25 YEARS.
HOW WAS IT REUNITING WITH RON
HOWARD AGAIN?
>> IT WAS EFFORTLESS.
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A INITIAL
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH
SOMEBODY IN OUR PROFESSION, IT'S
LIKE NO TIME HAS PASSED.
BECAUSE YOU HAD AN INTENSE
EXPERIENCE, YOU RESPECT EACH
OTHER, YOU RESPECT EACH OTHERS'
WORK.
IT WAS WONDERFUL.
IT WAS WONDERFUL BEING BACK WITH
RON.
>> YOU'VE BEEN KNOWN TO KEEP
VARIOUS COSTUMES OR PROPS FROM
VARIOUS MOVIES.
WHAT DID YOU KEEP FROM THIS ONE?
>> I KEPT -- I HAVE ACTUALLY
OVER 800 COSTUME ITEMS THAT IS
HOUSED AT INDIANA UNIVERSITY.
SO, I KEPT ALL OF MAMAW'S
T-SHIRTS AND HER BAGGY JEANS AND
NIKES.
>> THAT'S GREAT.
THAT'S SO GREAT.
THIS IS YOUR EIGHTH NOMINATION.
IF YOU WIN TONIGHT, HAVE YOU
THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE YOU ARE
GOING TO PUT THE OSCAR?
>> I ACTUALLY HAVEN'T, BUT YOU
KNOW, I HAVE THIS FANTASY.
AND I THINK I'M GOING TO DO IT.
THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT TO THE
LOCAL LIBRARY FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK
AT.
I MIGHT TAKE IT TO THE COFFEE
SHOP THAT I GO TO A LOT SO THAT
PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE,
SO THAT YOU KIND OF CAN BRING
THIS WORLD INTO EVERYDAY LIFE.
THAT'S WHAT I WILL DO.
>> I WAS GOING TO SAY, CAN WE
NOT MAKE THAT A FANTASY?
CAN WE MAKE IT REALITY.
>> YEAH.
>> THAT WOULD BE SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL THING AND WOULD BE SO
APPRECIATED BY SO MANY PEOPLE.
BEFORE I LET YOU GO, I HAVE TO
ASK FOR A MOMENT.
YOUR INSTAGRAM.
YOU HAVE FUN ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
YOU DO.
WHAT DO YOU FIND SO ENTERTAINING
ABOUT IT?
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETIMES I DON'T DO IT FOR A
WHILE BECAUSE IT'S NOT KIND OF
NATURAL TO ME.
IF I THINK I CAN DO SOMETHING
THAT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT BE
INTERESTED IN OR I CAN CRACK
MYSELF UP OR IT'S A BEAUTIFUL
SUNSET OR SOME BEAUTIFUL -- YOU
KNOW, WHATEVER.
>> YEAH.
>> SO, IT'S -- YOU KNOW,
WHATEVER KIND OF COMES INTO MY
HEAD.
SOMETIMES IT WORKS.
SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.
BUT I DECIDED THAT IF I WAS
GOING TO DO IT, IT HAS TO JUST
BASICALLY BE ME.
SO, FOR BETTER OR WORSE, THAT'S
WHAT YOU GET.
>> JUST KEEP IT ALL FANTASTIC.
>> YES.
>> YOU REALLY ARE JUST SUCH A
BRILLIANT ACTRESS, ONE OF OUR
FAVORITE ACTRESSES.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A ROLE?
I IMAGINE SO MUCH MATERIAL COMES
YOUR WAY.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT A ROLE THAT HAS
TO -- THAT SPEAKS TO YOU?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE TO
LOVE THE WRITING.
AND THAT'S KIND OF FEMORAL.
YOU EITHER GET A -- FIRST TEN
PAGES, YOU SAY, YEAH, I'M GOING
TO KEEP READING OR NO, THIS
DOESN'T INTEREST ME OR NO, I'M
GOING TO HAVE TO SLOG THROUGH
THIS.
I ALSO DON'T WANT TO GO OVER
TERRITORY I'VE BEEN OVER BEFORE,
KIND OF PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY.
SO, I'M ALWAYS UP FOR SOMETHING
NEW.
>> YOU'RE ALWAYS UP FOR
SOMETHING NEW.
WE LOVE IT.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY AND
TALKING TO ME TONIGHT.
I APPRECIATE IT.
BEST OF LUCK TONIGHT.
>> JUST AN ICON.
CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING TO YOUR
LIBRARY AND THERE'S GLENN
CLOSE'S OSCAR?
I'M COMING OUT HERE TO CHECK OUT
"STEWART LITTLE" AND THERE'S AN
OSCAR?
>> JUST STOOD THERE.
>> WHAT A WAY TO GET PEOPLE TO
READ.
>> OR SHOW UP AT THE COFFEE
SHOP.
>> YEAH.
>> RIGHT.
>> THAT'S A BIG BOOST.
>> HOW DID YOU GUYS LIKE HER
BOOST?
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> ARMANI PREVE.
>> SILK ORGANZA MESH ENCRUSTED
CRYSTAL BEADS.
IT TOOK ONLY THREE WEEKS TO
MAKE.
IT WAS AN HOMAGE TO GLENN'S AND
MR. ARMANI'S LONG TIME
COLLABORATIONS.
THE TOUCH I LOVE ARE THE GLOVES.
MR. ARMANI'S MUM WORE A LOT OF
GLOVES.
AND GLENN THOUGHT IT WAS
SANITARY TO WEAR THEM TO AN
EVENT LIKE TONIGHT.
>> I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT
THAT.
>> MAYBE IT'S GOING TO BE A
TREND TONIGHT.
>> I THINK SHE LOOKS GLAMOROUS
AND GORGEOUS.
THAT WAS A MESMERIZING
INTERVIEW.
>> YEAH, I COULDN'T
STOPWATCHING.
>> THERE WERE SO MANY GREAT
TIDBITS IN THERE TOO ABOUT HOW
HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO BACK TO
PSYCHOLOGICAL AREAS SHE'S
TOUCHED ON AS AN ACTRESS.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
>> YOU COULD APPLY THAT TO L
.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE OSCAR
RED CARPET.
BOTH OF THESE LADIES ARE STARS
IN KOREA.
I'M JOINED BY BEST SUPPORTING
ACTRESS NOMINEE.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE ON
THIS OSCAR CARPET?
>> I'M SO EXCITED.
>> VERY EXCITED?
>> THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME HERE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'LL FEEL
LATER ON WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE.
>> WHY IS IT SO SPECIAL FOR YOU
TO BE HERE TONIGHT, PART OF SUCH
A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE, "MINARI" AND
THE FACT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE
HAVE EMBRACED IT AND TO SEE IT'S
NOMINATED AND BELOVED BY MANY.
HOW IS THAT SPECIAL TO YOU?
>> EVERYONE ALL OVER THE WORLD
KNOWS ABOUT OSCARS.
AND THEY ARE FAMOUS AWARDS AND
CEREMONY.
>> YES.
>> SO, AS A KOREAN, AS AN ASIAN
WOMAN, I THINK IN KOREA I'M THE
FIRST NOMINEE FOR THE OSCARS.
SO, IT'S A VERY HISTORICAL
MOMENT FOR US.
SO, OF COURSE WE ARE VERY
EXCITED AND VERY STRANGE TO ME
ACTUALLY.
>> IT'S VERY STRANGE TO YOU,
ACTUALLY.
>> DO YOU AGREE?
>> YEAH, YEAH, AGREE.
>> HOW WAS IT SHOOTING THIS
FILM?
I KNOW IT WAS A SHORT AMOUNT OF
TIME, ONLY 25 DAYS.
WHAT WAS THAT EXPERIENCE LIKE?
>> SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, SHORT
AMOUNT OF MONEY.
SO, WE WENT ALMOST TOGETHER.
WE RENTED AIRBNB AND WE LIVED
TOGETHER.
SHE WAS PLAYING MY DAUGHTER, AND
THERE'S SOME -- OUR FRIEND THERE
WAS TRANSLATOR.
SO, WE MADE A FAMILY TOGETHER, I
THINK.
THAT'S WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS
MOVIE.
WE BECAME A REAL FAMILY.
>> YOU BECAME A REAL FAMILY.
AND YOUR CHARACTER, PLAYING THE
GRANDMOTHER IN THE FILM WHO
COMES AND LIVES WITH YOUR
FAMILY.
>> MY DAUGHTER.
>> YES, YES.
>> MY MOM.
>> YOU KNOW, FOR ME, THAT -- I
LOVE THAT PART OF THE MOVIE
BECAUSE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL
I MOVED TO AMERICA FROM ITALY.
AND MY GRANDMOTHER LIVED WITH
US.
>> YES.
>> AND WE SHARED A ROOM.
AND I JUST -- THAT WAS SUCH A
SPECIAL TIME IN MY LIFE.
SO, I REALLY CONNECTED TO YOUR
CHARACTER.
AND TELL ME, AS A REAL LIFE
GRANDMOTHER, HOW ARE YOU THE
SAME AND HOW ARE YOU DIFFERENT
FROM THE CHARACTER YOU PLAY IN
THE FILM?
>> WELL, ACTUALLY I'M NOT LIVING
WITH MY GRANDSON.
THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MOVIE AND THIS.
>> YES.
>> AND THEN I'M SURE THAT HE'S
NOT GOING -- MY GRANDSON WILL
NOT GIVE ME THE MOUNTAIN DEW AS
A TEASE.
>> YES, YES.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, THERE IS
A SCENE WHERE YOUR GRANDSON
GIVES YOU A CUP OF --
>> YEAH.
>> JUST SEE THE MOVIE.
WE THINK IT'S MOUNTAIN DEW, BUT
IT'S NOT.
IT'S A GREAT MOVIE FOR MANY
REASONS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE TWO OF
YOU.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
HAVE A WONDERFUL NIGHT.
BEST OF LUCK TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> LET'S CHECK IN WITH YOU.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> FIRST OF ALL, THEY ARE SO
BEAUTIFUL.
THAT'S WHAT I SAY.
I LOVE THE DIVERSITY RIGHT NOW.
AS WE'RE CELEBRATING THE
DIVERSITY OF THE OSCARS, WE HAVE
TO REMEMBER STOP ASIAN HATE.
WE ARE LIVING IN A TIME WHERE WE
HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THOSE
THINGS.
BUT MY GOSH, THEY'RE STUNNING.
>> I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE -- I CALL
HER Y.J.
SHE'S INCREDIBLE AS THE
GRANDMOTHER.
SOMEBODY SHE'S UP AGAINST
TONIGHT FOR BEST SUPPORTING
ACTRESS IS GLENN CLOSE.
>> GLENN CLOSE, EIGHT-TIME
NOMINEE, OSCAR CHANCES.
I AM READY FOR HER TO WIN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN EXPECT
TONIGHT?
>> GLENN CLOSE HAS BEEN
NOMINATED FOR OSCAR PERFORMANCES
EVERYONE LOVES.
OF COURSE WE KNOW "FATAL
ATTRACTION."
A COUPLE YEARS AGO, PEOPLE
THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO GET IT
WITH "THE WIFE."
BUT HER FELLOW NOMINEE OLIVIA
COLMAN TOOK IT.
IF SHE GETS THE WIN, SHE WOULD
TIE AL PACINO ON WINNING IT FOR
THE 8th TIME.
SHE WAS AN ICON WHO TOOK A FEW
NOMINATIONS TO GET IT TOO.
>> WE LOVE ALL THE NOMINEES, BUT
IT WOULD BE EPIC TONIGHT.
WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT EM RAL FA
NELL.
WHAT AN AMAZING MOMENT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HER CHANCES
ARE.
>> FIRST OF ALL, ALSO A NEW MOM
AND LOOKING GORGEOUS TONIGHT.
SHE'S NOMINATED FOR BEST
ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY, BEST
DIRECTOR, AND BEST PICTURE.
SHE IS JUST RADIANT IN THAT
DRESS.
>> HISTORY MAKING.
SHE'S STUNNING.
WOMEN CAN DO IT ALL.
RIGHT?
SHE IS ON THAT CARPET.
SHE'S ALIKE I'M GOING TO DO WHAT
I'VE GOT TO DO.
I'M GOING TO MAKE HISTORY.
I'M GOING TO HAVE A BABY.
TRUST AND BELIEVE.
>> SHE'S ALSO A ACTRESS.
I REMEMBER HER FROM "THE
MIDWIFE" ON THE TV SIDE.
SHE ALSO WHEREON THE SECOND
SEASON OF "KILLING EVE" AND
RECENTLY ON "THE CROWN" SHE
PLAYED CAMILLA PARKER BOLES.
I CANNOT HOLD THAT AGAINST HER.
>> LET'S BE HONEST.
SHE IS WELL DESERVED OF THE
NOMINATIONS TONIGHT.
I REALLY HOPE SHE MAKES HISTORY.
>> SHE WOULD BE THE FIRST
BRITISH WOMAN TO TAKE HOME AN
OSCAR FOR BEST DIRECTOR.
WHAT'S SO GREAT IS HER
>>> HEY GUYS.
WELCOME BACK.
WE ARE 90 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE
OSCARS ON ABC.
SHE JUST HIT THE CARPET.
WE SEE MARIA FROM "BORAT."
I KNOW WE SAW A SHOT ON
INSTAGRAM, BUT THIS IS THE FULL
GOWN.
>> WHAT A DRESS, RIGHT?
LOUIS VUITTON, IT'S CUSTOM MADE
FOR HER.
SHE ACTUALLY SAID HERSELF SHE
HASN'T SEEN A RED CARPET.
SHE'S DONE IT ALL VIRTUALLY, SO
THIS IS HER FIRST TIME.
FOR THE 360 FULL LENGTH SHE'S
ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT.
HER STYLIST WHO IS HOPEFULLY
GOING TO BE WITH US LATER TO
BREAK DOWN THE WHOLE.
>> I LOVE THE PRINCESS VIBES
THEY'RE DOING WITH HER, VERY
ROMANTIC, VERY ETHEREAL, VERY
BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S JUST THAT RED CARPET
FANTASY WE LOVE TO SEE.
>> AND IT COULDN'T BE MORE
DIFFERENT THAN HER CHARACTER.
IF I'VE EVER SEEN A
CHARACTER-TO-CARPET
TRANSFORMATION, IT'S THIS ONE.
>> RIGHT.
TOTALLY.
>> LET'S HEAD OVER TO JULIANNA.
>> "MINARI" IS ONE OF THE MOST
BELOVED PICTURES OF THE YEAR.
THE DIRECTOR LEE ISAAC CHUNG IS
JOINING ME WITH HIS WIFE
VALERIE.
HELLO.
>> HI.
>> SO GREAT TO SEE THE TWO OF
YOU TONIGHT.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
IT'S EXCITING, EXCITING DAY.
>> I BET IT IS.
TELL ME SOME OF THE EMOTIONS
GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND.
>> WELL, WE'VE BEEN QUARANTINED
FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF.
TO SUDDENLY COME OUT IN THIS WAY
IS QUITE SHOCKING IN A WAY.
>> AND TO COME OUT EXACTLY IN A
WAY THAT, OBVIOUSLY HERE FOR
YOUR AMAZING FILM, "MINARI," --
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> -- ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE
FAVORITES.
THIS MOVIE MEANS SO MUCH TO SO
MANY PEOPLE.
IT'S A BELOVED MOVIE TO SO MANY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU
KNOWING THE WAY IT'S BEEN
EMBRACED?
>> IT TOUCHES ME SO MUCH.
IT'S SO PERSONAL TO ME AND I'M
SO PLEASED PEOPLE ARE CONNECTING
TO IT ON A HUMAN, EMOTIONAL
LEVEL.
IT JUST SHOWS ME WE'RE ALL MORE
CONNECTED THAN WE THINK.
>> AND YOU SHOT THE FILM IN A
PRETTY SHORT TIME FRAME.
>> YES.
>> CAN YOU TELL US SOME OF THOSE
CHALLENGES THAT YOU ENCOUNTERED?
>> SURE.
YEAH.
WE NEED A LONG INTERVIEW FOR
THAT.
WE SHOT FOR 25 DAYS, AND EVERY
DAY WAS -- WE WERE WORKING ON
INSTINCT, TRYING TO MAKE NO
MISTAKES.
AND IT'S INCREDIBLE THAT WE
BROUGHT IT ALL THE WAY HERE.
I GIVE ALL CREDIT TO MY CAST AND
CREW FOR WHAT THEY DELIVERED.
>> AND AN INCREDIBLE CAST
INDEED.
TELL ME ABOUT ASSEMBLING THAT
WORLD FAMOUS CAST.
>> A LOT OF IT WAS THROUGH
PEOPLE WHO WE KNOW.
SO, THERE WAS A LOT OF JUST
FRIENDSHIPS THAT WENT INTO
ASSEMBLING THIS CAST.
AND THE KIDS WERE ABSOLUTE
DISCOVERIES.
THEY HAD NEVER ACTED BEFORE.
WE HAD AN AMAZING CASTING
DIRECTOR WHO DISCOVERED THEM.
IT'S A FAIRY TALE PROCESS.
>> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
BEAUTIFUL MOVIE INTO OUR LIVES.
HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME TONIGHT.
BEST OF LUCK.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>>> TONIGHT THERE HAS BEEN SO
MANY DIVERSITY AND HISTORY MADE.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT CHLOE ZHAO.
IF SHE WIN, SHE'LL BE THE FIRST
WOMAN OF COLOR TO WIN IN THIS
CATEGORY.
IT'S AMAZING.
WE WANT TO CELEBRATE THAT.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HER CHANCES
ARE?
>> CHLOE ZHAO HAS SWEPT THE
AWARD THIS IS YEAR.
IT'S BEEN ALL "NOMADLAND."
SHE'S NOMINATED FOR BEST
DIRECTOR, PRODUCING THIS FOR
BEST PICTURE.
IF SHE SWEEPS ALL FOUR, SHE
WOULD TIE WALT DISNEY FOR THE
MOST FOLKS TO WIN IN ONE NIGHT.
HE WON FOUR BACK IN 1957.
SHE MAY DO THAT TONIGHT AS A
WOMAN.
>> HOW DO YOU RETAIN THAT
INFORMATION?
>> I DON'T.
>> I WISH I WAS WITH YOU IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
TO YOUR POINT THE FACT SHE COULD
TIE AND IT'S BEEN SO LONG,
THAT'S EXTRAORDINARY.
WHAT TYPE OF MESSAGE DOES IT
SEND TO WOMEN WHEN THEY WERE
ENTERING THE INDUSTRY WHEN WE
KNOW IT CAN BE SEXIST?
>> TALKED ABOUT SUN DANCE HAVING
SO MANY FEMALE DIRECTORS BUT
COULDN'T MAKE THAT FILM.
THIS IS CHLOE'S THIRD FILM AFTER
GRADUATING FROM NYU WHERE SHE
WAS TAUGHT BY NONE OTHER THAN
SPIKE LEE.
HE HAS BEEN A HUGE FAN OF HER
WORK AS WELL.
I LOVE SHE GOT TO WORK WITH
FRANCES McDORMANT ON THIS.
>> WHEN YOU START SEEING THOSE
PAIRINGS, THAT'S WHEN YOU KNOW
MAGIC IS HAPPENING.
I DID KNOW THE TIDBIT ABOUT
SPIKE LEE, THAT SHE LEARNED A
LOT FROM BEING A LEGEND.
WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER SHE LEFT
HOME AT 15 TO STUDY IN THE UK.
WHAT AFFECT DO YOU THINK THAT
HAD ON HER TALENT AND HER CAREER
AND HOW SHE'S APPROACHING THIS.
>> SHE SEEMS TO BE A WONDER LUST
DIRECTOR.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PREVIOUS
ONE, THE WRITER, SHE HAS NEVER
SEEN A VAST LANDSCAPE ACROSS THE
SETTING SUN THAT SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO FRAME BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE
SHOT.
AND HER CIN.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO OSCAR
SUNDAY.
I THINK WE HAVE A FIRST LOOK AT
DANIEL KA LIEULUUYA.
>> HE'S WEARING CARTIER
DIAMONDS.
HE LOOKS SO CHIC.
>> I LOVE HE LOOKS -- YOU KNOW,
THIS FOLES MORE LIKE HIM TO ME.
THERE'S BEEN A COUPLE TIMES HE
HAD THE BOW TIES ON.
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS REALLY WHO
HE IS.
>> I WAS SAYING EARLIER IN THE
SHOW.
DANIEL HAS BEEN LOVING HIS
JEWELRY AND DIAMONDS THIS
SEASON.
SO, HE'S CLEARLY FEATURING
THOSE.
AND BOW TEGA IS ONE OF THE MOST
SOUGHT AFTER THIS YEAR.
EVERYONE WANTS TO WAESH IT.
>> IF YOU GET TO WEAR IT, YOU'RE
SPECIAL.
>> YOU KNOW HE'S SPECIAL.
I LOVE THOSE PINKY RINGS HE'S
OBSESSED WITH.
>> WE'RE SEEING MORE DIAMONDS.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE MORE
DIAMONDS ON THE BOYS AS WELL.
WE'RE SEEING THEM ON BRAD.
IT'S A GREAT LOOK.
>> IT'S FUNNY.
IT STARTED OFF PEOPLE DOING
WATCHES, THEN THE BROACHES.
NOW IT'S DIAMOND NECKLACES AND
CHAINS AND RINGS AND WE'RE GOING
NUTS.
I LOVE IT.
>> I LOVE HOW THE GUYS ARE
COMING OUT WITH MORE AND MORE
ACCESSORIES AND THEY'RE CATERING
TO THAT AS WELL.
IT'S GREAT.
HOW WE STEAL THEIR HOODIES,
WE'RE GONE STEAL THEIR NECKLACES
AND JEWELRY TOO.
RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOT TO GO OVER.
>> I LOVE THE FACT MEN ARE
ACCESSORIZING, YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN?
A LITTLE AK SAYSCCESSORIZING NEV
HURT ANYBODY.
THIS IS A CATEGORY WHERE WE'RE
ALL HIGHLY ANTICIPATING WHAT IS
GOING TO HAPPEN.
I WANT YOUR THOUGHTS.
>> IT'S REALLY CRAZY ABOUT BEST
PICTURE.
WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE SET OF
NOMINEES THAT MAY NOT HAVE MADE
IT TO THIS NIGHT IF NOT FOR THE
GLOBAL BOX OFFICE PAUSE.
SO MANY STORIES LIKE
"NOMADLAND," "MINARI," THEY'RE
GREAT STORIES BUT MIGHT HAVE
BEEN PUSHED OUT BY "WEST SIDE
STORY" AND "DOOM."
LOOK AT THE FILMS AND HOW THEY
TOUCH ON SOCIAL ISSUES RIGHT
NOW.
"MINARI" AND ASIAN HATE SO MUCH.
>> THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE
BEST PICTURE CATEGORY.
IT'S SOMETHING FOR THE FIRST
TIME YOU FELT THERE WAS MESSAGES
COMING ACROSS.
AS YOU DISCUSSED WE ARE IN A
TIME RIGHT NOW WHERE WE HAVE TO
DISCUSS STOP ASIAN HATE, WE HAVE
TO UNDERSTAND BLACK LIVES
MATTER.
IF YOU CAN DO THAT WHILE ALSO
BEING ENTERTAINED, HOW MUCH FUN
IS THAT?
OUT OF THESE MOVIES WHICH ONE DO
YOU THINK IS GOING TO BE THE ONE
THAT IS GOING TO WIN?
>> TAKING IT HOME TONIGHT
PREDICTABLY WOULD BE "NO
MADLAND."
IT'S GOT THE CRITICS CHOICE.
HOWEVER WE HAVE SEEN THIS STORY
BEFORE WITH A LITTLE FILM CALLED
"LA LALAND" THAT ENDED UP LOSING
SOME OSCAR NIGHT.
I'M NOT GOING TO COUNT MY
CHICKENS.
I'M STILL BETTING ON
"NOMADLAND."
BUT "TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7,"
THEY LIVED THROUGH THOSE
MOMENTS.
>> I LOVE THE FACT SACHA BARON
COHEN IS GIVING US SOMETHING
NEW.
TO GO FROM "BORAT" TO THIS.
>> HE'S MADE HISTORY WITH "THE
GOD FATHER" AS THE ONLY TWO
SEQUELS TO BE NOMINATED.
I THINK HE ALSO HAS A VERY GOOD
CHANCE OF WINNING THAT CATEGORY.
I'M NOT BETTING ON IT, BUT HE
COULD.
>> I LOVE THAT WE HAVE ALL THIS
INSIDE INFORMATION RIGHT NOW.
THIS IS GREAT.
WE WANT TO HEAD TO YOU GUYS.
>> JACQUELINE HAS ALL THE
INFORMATION.
>> ALL THE CHEESE.
>> I NEED TO WATCH THE
SCREENERS, JACQUELINE.
>> I TOLD YOU, GIRL.
>> YOU HELP ME OUT WITH THEM
DRESSES, GIRL, WE WILL GET YOU
CAUGHT UP ON OSCAR TRIVIA.
>> SHE MEANS THOSE DRESSES AT
MACY'S.
>> SOMEBODY DON'T LOVE YOU LIKE
HE LOVES ME, YOU DOING IT WRONG.
>> AMEN.
YOU GUYS, THAT WAS THE MOST
NOMINATED BLACK ACTRESS IN
HISTORY, VIOLA DAVIS HAS BEEN A
RED CARPET REGULAR SINCE HER
DEBUT IN 2009.
SHE HAS GIVEN US MEMORABLE
MOMENTS.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW
HER FASHION HAS EVOLVED THROUGH
THE YEARS.
>> WITH PLEASURE.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
LET'S START IN 2009 WITH THIS
GORGEOUS METALLIC REAM GOWN.
IT WAS HER FIRST OSCARS RED
CARPET WHERE SHE WAS NOMINATED
FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN
THE ROLE -- FOR SUPPORTING ROLE
IN THE MOVIE "DOUBT" WHICH WAS
UNBELIEVABLE.
SHE WAS SO INCREDIBLE.
>> LOVE THE NATURAL HAIR WITH
THAT AS WELL.
>> YEAH.
WE'RE GOING TO SEE THE
SILHOUETTE COME THROUGH AS HER
FASHION EVOLVES AS WELL.
BUT HER LOOK IN 2012 IS ONE OF
MY PERSONAL FAVES.
THIS IS VERA WANG.
AND WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS GOWN
IS AGAIN THAT THIS BEAUTIFUL
BOLD COLOR THAT WE'RE GOING TO
SEE SHE KIND OF CONTINUES ALL
THE WAY THROUGH, WHICH I LOVE
ABOUT HER.
SHE EMBRACES COLOR.
SHE EMBRACES THESE BEAUTIFUL,
SOPHISTICATED SILHOUETTES.
AND AS WE SEE HER FASHION
EVOLVE, YOU CAN JUST SEE SHE IS
JUST A RED CARPET QUEEN.
>> AND SHE IS A PERSON WHO WEARS
THE DRESS.
THE DRESS DOES NOT WEAR HER.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> THERE'S SOME PEOPLE YOU SEE,
YOU'RE LIKE, GIRL, I CAN'T SEE
YOU IN THAT THING.
BUT SHE REALLY COMMANDS THE RED
CARPET.
>> AND THE COLORS SHE'S WORN
HAVE BEEN SPECTACULAR.
>> THE HOT PINK MICHAEL COORS.
>> THE GREENS AND BLUES AND
PRINTS AS WELL.
SHE CAN DO IT SO WELL.
THE DRESS NEVER WEARS HER.
>> EVERY SINGLE TIME, GUYS.
WE'VE GOT TO HEAD OVER TO
JULIANNA.
>> SHE IS THE FILMMAKER BEHIND
BEST PICTURE NOMINEE
"NOMADLAND."
PLEASE WELCOME CHLOE ZHAO.
>> WE HAVE THE STAR OF
"NOMADLAND."
>> THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY E.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
TELL EVERYONE AT HOME, KIND OF
PAINT THE PICTURE HERE, THE
OSCAR RED CARPET.
HOW DOES IT FEEL?
>> HOW DOES IT FEEL?
>> IT'S SURREAL.
>> SURREAL.
>> NOTHING I EVER EXPECTED THAT
WOULD HAPPEN TO ME.
>> NOTHING YOU EVER EXPECTED
WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
IT'S PRETTY GREAT, ISN'T IT?
>> IT'S AWESOME, YES.
>> WHAT SHE SAID.
AND I'M NOT AN ACTOR.
IT'S NOT ACTING THAT'S OSCAR
WORTHY.
IT'S MY NOMADIC LIFESTYLE THAT'S
OSCAR WORTHY.
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
SPEAKING OF, IT'S SUCH A
BRILLIANT PICTURE.
CHLOE, YOU WERE ALMOST CRAFTING
THE STORY IN THE FIELD, RIGHT,
YOU SAID, AND ALMOST LIKE A
DOCUMENTARY IN PART.
WHY WAS THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> WELL, ACTUALLY THEY SAY THAT
THE GREATEST MAGIC TRICK IS TO
MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE IT JUST
HAPPENED.
WE ACTUALLY HAD AN ENTIRE
AMAZING PRODUCING TEAM THAT
MAKES THINGS -- A LOT OF
PLANNING GOES INTO IT.
WHEN WE GET THERE, WE GET TO
PLAY AND BE SPONTANEOUS.
IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE LIVES
OF THESE WONDERFUL PEOPLE,
SOMETIMES TO CAPTURE IT, WE HAVE
TO HAVE THAT FREEDOM.
>> AND YOU KNOW, I KNOW, CHLOE,
THIS MOVIE IS SO IMPORTANT TO
YOU.
IT REALLY HAS A PIECE OF YOUR
HEART.
HOW DID THIS EXPERIENCE CHANGE
YOU AS A PERSON?
>> YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE
SOMETIMES FILM MAKING COULD BE A
QUITE LONELY AND TRANSIENT
EXISTENCE.
WE GO FROM MOVIES TO MOVIES TO
MOVIES.
HAVING BEEN WITH A LOT OF
NOMADS, WHO ALSO LIVE A
TRANSIENT LIFE, BUT THERE'S A
GREAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY THAT
THEY'VE BUILT FOR THEMSELVES,
THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE PART
OF SOMETHING BIGGER.
AND I TRY TO SEE THINGS THE SAME
WAY.
>> FOUR NOMINATIONS TONIGHT.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ALL OF YOU,
YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY HOW MUCH
EVERYONE HAS LOVED THIS FILM.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU TO HAVE
FOUR NOMINATIONS TONIGHT?
>> THAT --
>> WELL, FROM MY POINT OF VIEW,
IT'S JUST ALREADY BEEN SUCH A
GREAT JOURNEY.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT ON THE
WAY HERE GETTING TO KNOW THESE
GUYS AND HAVING THEM OPEN THEIR
HEARTS AND STORIES TO US IS
REALLY BEEN WONDERFUL.
OSCA
>>> WE ARE LIVE ON E.
THE COUNT CONDITION IS ON.
THE ANTICIPATION IS BUILDING.
THE OSCARS ARE LIVE ON ABC ON
8:00 EASTERN, 5:00 PACIFIC.
IT IS BEST ACTRESS NOMINEE VIOLA
DAVIS JOINED BY HER HUSBAND
JULIUS.
NICE TO SEE YOU TWO.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU TWO.
>> HOW DOES IT FEEL ON THE OSCAR
RED CARPET.
>> CALM.
>> IF PEOPLE WERE HERE, THEY
WOULD KNOW HOW ABSOLUTELY
GROUNDBREAKING CALM IS.
>> FROM PAST YEARS, RIGHT?
IT'S VERY DIFFERENT ON THIS RED
CARPET.
>> YES.
>> IT'S VERY CHILL TONIGHT.
>> YES.
>> YEAH.
HOW DOES IT FEEL BEING HERE
TONIGHT, PART OF SUCH AN
INCREDIBLE MOVIE.
AND YOUR PERFORMANCE, I MEAN.
>> IT'S AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON
AN ALREADY FABULOUS EXPERIENCE
IN EVERY SINGLE WAY.
THE ACTORS INVOLVED, GEORGE C.
WOLF, NETFLIX, DENZEL, TODD
BLACK, CHADWICK.
IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN A BETTER
EXPERIENCE AND NOW IT'S JUST
CONTINUING.
>> AND YOU ARE SO BRILLIANT IN
THIS FILM.
JULIUS, I GOT TO ASK YOU, WE
KNOW SHE'S A BRILLIANT ACTRESS.
WAS THERE ANYTHING IN THIS FILM
IN PARTICULAR THAT SHOCKED EVEN
YOU MAYBE THAT YOU WENT WOW?
>> WELL, YOU KNOW, IT WAS REALLY
A CHOICE OF PUTTING THE GOAL IN.
IT WAS AMAZING, AND IT COMPLETED
THE TRANSFORMATION WITH THE SUIT
AND THE MAKE UP.
BUT THOSE TEETH -- THOSE GRILLS
WERE AMAZING.
>> GRILLS IS WHAT THEY CALL
THEM.
>> YOU WERE LIKE I'M TAKING THIS
TRANSFORMATION VERY SERIOUSLY.
I NEED THIS TO BE AS AUTHENTIC
AS POSSIBLE.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR APPROACH TO
THAT.
>> THE APPROACH TO THAT IS THE
APPROACH EVERY ACTOR HAS TO HAVE
TO IT.
YOU HAVE TO HONOR THE PERSON.
THEY SAID SHE WAS A CERTAIN
SIZE.
THEY SAID THAT SHE HAD A MOUTH
FULL OF GOLD TEETH.
THEY SAID SHE LOOKED A CERTAIN
WAY, HORSE HAIR WIGS.
SO, GUESS WHAT.
I HAD GOLD TEETH, HORSE HAIR
WIGS AND I WAS A CERTAIN SIZE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE HER IN
ANY WAY BECAUSE THEN I WOULD BE
APOLOGIZING AND I WOULD BE
WATERING IT DOWN.
SO, YEAH.
>> AND SOMEONE THAT WE'VE BEEN
HONORING, OF COURSE, IS THE LATE
CHADWICK BOSEMAN.
AND I KNOW THAT HE WAS SO
SPECIAL TO YOU.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO YOU, HAVING
BEEN SO CLOSE TO HIM AND KNOWING
THAT SO MANY PEOPLE JUST LOVE
HIM SO MUCH AND HAVE BEEN
HONORING HIM SO MUCH?
I MEAN ALWAYS THROUGHOUT THE
YEARS WE'VE LOVED HIM, HE'S SO
TALENTED, HE'S SUCH A -- YOU
ALWAYS HEAR WHAT AN INCREDIBLE
PERSON HE WAS.
BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU
THROUGHOUT THIS AWARD SEASON
SEEING ALL THE LOVE THAT'S
POURING IN?
>> IT FEELS RIGHT ONLY BECAUSE I
KNOW HIM.
IT WAS LIKE I SAID BEFORE, HE
WAS AUTHENTICITY ON STEROIDS.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE HONOR PEOPLE
WHO ACTUALLY WERE NOT REALLY
NICE OR REALLY THE PERSONA DID
NOT MATCH THE REAL PERSON.
THIS, IT MATCHES A PERSON.
I'M TELLING YOU, THIS PERSON,
THIS HUMAN BEING, THIS ARTIST
DID NOT MISTAKE HIS PRESENCE FOR
THE EVENT.
HE ABSOLUTELY HONORED THE WORK.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ENTER THIS
BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE
FAMOUS ACTORS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE ACTORS.
THEY WANT TO BE FAMOUS ACTORS.
HE ENTERED IT BECAUSE HE JUST
WANTED TO BE AN ARTIST.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
A GREAT ARTIST.
YOU'RE A GREAT ARTIST.
BEFORE I LET YOU GO, I KNOW I'M
ABOUT TO TOSS BACK TO THE PANEL.
THEY'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT WHAT
FASHION THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING
FORWARD TO TONIGHT.
I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO ASK
ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU BECAUSE YOU
BOTH LOOK TO BEAUTIFUL.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR LOOKS THIS
EVENING.
>> ALEXANDER McQUEEN, BABY.
>> ALEXANDER McQUEEN.
>> FOREVER MARK JEWELRY.
>> LOVE THE TWO OF YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HAVE THE BEST TIME TONIGHT.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
NINA, RIGHT?
AM I RIGHT?
>> YES.
>> DID I READ YOUR MIND, NINA?
>> YOU ASK ALL THE QUESTIONS
THAT WE WANT TO KNOW.
AND LISTENING TO VIOLA DAVIS IS
A CRASH COURSE IN JUST
EVERYTHING IN ESSENCE.
>> LITERALLY I SAID THAT.
Y'ALL HEAR THIS?
>> WE GOT TO GO BACK OVER TO
JULIANNA.
I THINK SHE'S GOT SOMEBODY ELSE.
>> OH!
SORRY!
THIS IS SO REAL.
WE ARE LIVE.
I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE MARIA
OVER HERE BECAUSE SHE DELIVERED
ONE OF THE MOST WILDEST AND
SHOCKING PERFORMANCES OVER THE
YEAR.
SHE IS NOMINATED FOR BEST
SUPPORTING ACTRESS, MARIA
BAKALOVA.
NICE TO SEE YOU.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU.
I'M SUPER EXCITED TO BE HERE.
HUMBLED, EXCITED, ALL OF THE
FEELINGS IN ONE MIXTURE.
>> WE HAVE SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT
RIGHT NOW.
YOU HAVE BEEN ACTING NOT VERY
LONG, BUT THEN YOU'RE NOMINATED
TONIGHT.
AND YOU WERE DOING MORE DRAMA
BUT YET YOU'RE NOMINATED FOR
THIS COMEDIC ROLE, OF COURSE.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO YOU RIGHT
NOW?
>> IT FEELS -- I DON'T KNOW --
LIKE A DREAM BECAUSE IT'S BEEN A
LONG TIME ACTING.
IT'S BEEN 12 YEAR OF ACTING, BUT
YOU'RE RIGHT.
IN THE DRAMATIC WORLD.
"BORAT" WAS MY FIRST COMEDY I'VE
EVER DONE.
IT'S ONE OF THESE THINGS LIKE AM
I DREAMING?
AM I LIVING THIS DREAM?
>> IT'S AMAZING.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SUCH A BIG MOVIE THAT SO MANY
PEOPLE SAW.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DOING
MOVIES?
BECAUSE MOVIES, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
DOING AS LONG, RIGHT?
WHEN WAS YOUR FIRST MOVIE?
>> 2016.
THAT'S AMAZING.
>> YES.
SO, IT HASN'T BEEN ALL THAT
LONG.
>> AND NOW HERE WE ARE 2021, FOR
AN OSCAR YOU'RE NOMINATED
MASSACHUSETTS.
MARIA, AMAZING.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> IS YOUR FAMILY WATCHING
TONIGHT?
>> THEY ARE WATCHING AND MY
COUNTRY IS WATCHING.
EVERYBODY IS EXCITED TO WATCH
THAT DREAMS ARE POSSIBLE IF YOU
BELIEVE IN THEM AND DARE TO
ACHIEVE THEM.
I'M FEELING GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE
RECOGNITION AND BEING HERE.
>> WHAT DOES YOUR FAMILY THINK
ABOUT THIS?
I KNOW YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT YOUR
MOTHER AND HER REACTION TO THE
FILM.
IS IT TRUE SHE WANTED YOU TO BE
A JOURNALIST?
>> YES, MY FAMILY WANTED ME TO
BE A JOURNALIST.
I WANTED TO BE A JOURNALIST.
IF I COULDN'T GET TO THE
UNIVERSITY FOR ACTING, I WAS
GOING TO BE A JOURNALIST.
>> WOW.
>> BUT I ACHIEVED ONE OF MY
SE
