GOOSE BUMPS.

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.

CONFIDENCE ALREADY.

GETTING TO ARGUE WITH HIM A BIT.

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

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.

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.

>> 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.

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.

>> 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?

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.

>> 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.

>> 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.

>> 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
