>>> IT WAS ONE AMAZING YEAR FOR
MOVIES.
FILLED WITH ONE BLOCKBUSTER, ONE
MASTERPIECE, ONE CAREER-DEFINING
PERFORMANCE AFTER ANOTHER.
AND IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS THE OSCARS RED CARPET
SHOW.
HELLO, EVERYONE, I'M TAMRON
HALL.
I'M THRILLED TO BE OUT HERE
WELCOMING ALL OF THE DEMON
HUNTERS, SINNERS, AND
CINEMATOGRAPHERS TO THE PARTY OF
THE YEAR.
AND JOINING ME IS THE SMOKE TO
MY STACK, THE SENSEI TO MY BOB,
JESSE PALMER.
>> HEY, THANKS, TAMRON.
UNLIKE SENSEI, I PROMISE NOT TO
HAVE ANY SMALL BEERS, EVEN IF I
AM ALREADY STARSTRUCK, THOUGH,
BY WHO I HAVE WITH ME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOPPING
BY.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> WE'RE KICKING OFF THIS RED
CARPET SHOW NOW WITH A BANG THAT
YOU'RE HERE.
CONGRATULATIONS, NOMINATED FOR
BEST ACTRESS.
YOU WERE PHENOMENAL.
I KNOW IT'S YOUR FIRST OSCAR
NOMINATION, SWAS WELL.
HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE?
>> I WAS IN AUSTRALIA WITH MY
PARENTS, AND WE WERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AND I WAS
HALF ASLEEP, KNOWING THEY WOULD
CALL IF IT HAPPENED, AND WE JUST
STARTED SCREAMING.
IT WAS LIKE, 1:00 A.M.
IT WAS AMAZING.
>> SUCH A TREMENDOUS ACHIEVEMENT
AND LONG OVERDUE.
WATCHING THIS FILM IS
INCREDIBLE, BECAUSE YOUR
CHARACTER REALLY IS A FORCE.
FLF
THERE WAS AN AMAZING, EMOTIONAL
ARC THAT YOU HAD TO EXPLORE.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT
YOURSELF?
>> THE ROLE WAS A GIFT, AND IT'S
AN EXAMINATION OF PARENTHOOD, SO
YOU REFLECT ON YOUR OWN
LIMITATIONS AND YOUR OWN
EXPERIENCE.
BUT IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE GIFT,
THIS PART.
SO I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL.
>> A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT FOR YOU
TONIGHT.
A LOT OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY,
INCLUDING A BRAND NEW FAMILY
PET.
YOU GOT A BEARDED DRAGON.
TAMRON, OVER TO YOU.
>> I'M HERE WITH ZOE ZALDANYA.
A YEAR AGO YOU WALKED AWAY WITH
YOUR OSCAR.
TELL ME WHAT THIS YEAR HAS BEEN
LIKE FOR YOU.
>> IT'S BEEN BEAUTIFUL, BUT BACK
TO NORMAL, WHERE YOU WIN
SOMETHING AND YOU GIVE YOURSELF
THAT CREDIT.
BUT THE NEXT DAY YOU GO TAKE THE
KIDS TO SCHOOL AND YOU STUDY
YOUR LINES AND VISIT YOUR
PARENTS.
LIFE REALLY CONTINUED.
I DID DO SOMETHING REALLY
UNEXPECTED THAT I HAD BEEN
MISSING FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
I'VE BEEN TAKING A LOT MORE
NAPS.
>> WITH BOYS, YOU HAVE TIME TO
NAP?
>> YES, YES.
>> THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.
>> WHEN THEY'RE LEARNING AND
BUSY, THAT'S MY TIME TO SORT OF
SIT BACK AND EITHER READ A BOOK
OR TAKE A LITTLE 20-MINUTE NAP.
IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE.
>> YOU NOW HAVE TAKEN THE HEARTS
OF EVERY PARENT AROUND.
"AVATAR" AND "NASH" NOMINATED
FOR BEST COSTUME DESIGN.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH
SUCH A TALENTED TEAMSOME
>> IT'S AMAZING.
I ALWAYS FELT THESE
INSECURITIES, I'VE NEVER GONE TO
COLLEGE TO DO WHAT I DO, BUT
EVERY FILM I'VE BEEN A PART OF
HAS GIVEN ME THAT EDUCATION AND
GIVEN ME THAT EXPOSURE TO
INCREDIBLE ARTISTS AND TO
COLLABORATE WITH A WONDERFUL
COMMUNITY, TO SEE THEM BEING
RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR WORK IT
ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S THE GIFT
THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
>> AND A GIFT TO THE FAMILY.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> JOINED NOW BY DAMSON IDRIS,
WHO SCORES IN "F1" UP FOR
MULTIPLE NOMINATIONS, INCLUDING
BEST FILM.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
TALK ABOUT BLESSED, BECAUSE THE
FILM HAS JUST BEEN SO WELL
RECEIVED GLOBALLY.
WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE WORKING ON
A FILM LIKE THAT?
>> IT TOOK TWO YEARS TO SHOOT
FOR JOE AND JERRY AND EVERYONE
ELSE, FOUR YEARS TO COMPLETE.
I SURVIVED A STRIKE, I SURVIVED
DRIVING 180 MILES PER HOUR AND
STANDING NEXT TO BRAD PITT AND
NOT LOOKING STUPID.
>> YOU HAD TO OVERCOME A LOT.
I'VE GOT TO SAY, VISUALLY, ONE
OF THE MOST STUNNING FILMS I'VE
EVER SEEN.
SPEAKING OF VISUALS, I WANTED TO
ASK YOU ABOUT THE BROACH.
>> THIS IS IDRIS.
I MADE IT AS AN HOMAGE TO MY
MOTHER.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS ENGRAVED WITH
F1, A BLUE DIAMOND, 18 CARAT
GOLD.
>> NOT CHEAP.
>> YOU CAN AFFORD IT.
>> WE SAY IN SPORTS, LOOK GOOD,
FEEL GOOD, PLAY GOOD.
AND HE'S BUILT FOR SPEED.
THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
CONGRATS.
>> I'M HERE WITH ELLE FANNING.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR FIRST
OSCAR NOMINATION.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I'M ABOUT TO BURST INTO TEARS
RIGHT NOW.
>> YOU ARE WALKING IN.
>> AND IT'S REAL.
MY HEART IS POUNDING RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW, I BROUGHT MY MOM, MY
BOYFRIEND, AND SHE GETS TO SIT
WITH ME.
SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO THE OSCARS
BEFORE.
MY FIRST TIME WAS ONLY LAST
YEAR, BUT IT WASN'T AS A
NOMINEE.
SO I'M JUST VERY GRATEFUL.
>> I LOVE YOU WE ARE WITH YOUR
BOYFRIEND AND MOM.
THE MOVIE IS ABOUT WHAT WE HOLD
ONTO, THE THINGS THAT WE VALUE,
THE THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER IN
OUR LIVES.
WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THAT
STORY?
>> THIS FILM "SENTIMENTAL VALUE"
IS SO DEAR TO MY HEART.
I HAD SUCH A KIND OF CATHARTIC
EXPERIENCE WHILE FILMING IT.
JOACHIM TRIER IS A GENIUS, AND
HE PULLS THESE EMOTIONS OUT OF
YOU THAT YOU KNEW YOU HAD BUT
LYING DORMANT FOR A WHILE.
HE'S ABLE TO BRING THEM OUT OF
YOU, AND JUST SUCH A PERSONAL
PIECE OF ART FOR ALL OF US.
WE'RE ALL NOMINATED, SO IT'S
KIND OF OUR LAST CELEBRATION.
I AM A VERY SENTIMENTAL PERSON.
EVEN TODAY GETTING READY, I'M
KEEPING TISSUES, YOU KNOW WHAT I
MEAN?
>> YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE
DRESS.
IT IS STUNNING.
>> I WANTED TO LOOK LIKE MYSELF,
BUT TIMELESS.
THIS IS DESIGNED BY MY FRIEND,
SARAH BURTON, AND THIS IS
WISTERIA, IT'S FROM 1903, SO
IT'S AN ARCHIVAL PIECE.
THIS IS WISTERIA ON THE DRESS,
TOO.
>> WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU, ELLE.
>> THIS IS SO EXCITING, BECAUSE
I CAN'T REMEMBER A YEAR WHEN
EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY WAS THIS
CLOSE.
IN FACT, THE ONLY THING I'M
CERTAIN I GOT RIGHT ON MY BALLOT
WAS MY NAME.
BUT CAN YOU PREDICT WHO IS
WINNING BIG TONIGHT?
PLAY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A TRIP
FOR TWO, PLUS $5,000 PLUS
MERCHANDISE.
WHO KNOWS, MAYBE I'LL BE TALKING
TO ONE OF YOUR PICKS LIVE RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
>> TONIGHT, WE GATHER TO HONOR
THE TONGVA PEOPLE.
WE HONOR AND PAY OUR RESPECTS TO
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AROUND
THE WORLD.
THE ORIGINAL STORYTELLERS AND
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR GLOBAL
FILM MAKING COMMUNITY.
>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE RED
CARPET.
OKAY, I'M STANDING HERE WITH
SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO WIN ME
SOME SERIOUS BROWNIE POINTS WITH
MY BRAZIL WIFE.
HOW IS YOUR PORTUGUESE?
>> I'M PRACTICING IT.
[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL
LANGUAGE ]
>> CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, AS
WELL, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS
YOUR FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION.
>> YES.
>> HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HERE
TONIGHT?
>> IT FEELS GREAT, ALL THE
ATTENTION THAT THIS FILM IS
RECEIVING IS AMAZING.
IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS THE TOP OF
THE WHOLE JOURNEY THAT WE'VE
BEEN GOING THROUGH THESE CANNES.
>> FIRST BRAZILIAN EVER TO BE UP
FOR BEST ACTOR.
HOW ARE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY
CELEBRATING?
>> ALL THE BRAZILIANS HERE.
I THINK HERE TONIGHT, THERE'S
LIKE A HUNDRED BRAZILIANS,
PEOPLE FROM THE CREW AND THE
CAST AND FRIENDS OF OURS HAVE
CAME.
AND THE PEOPLE IN BRAZIL ARE
VERY EXCITED.
>> SO MANY PEOPLE CHEERING YOU
ON.
YOU GOT TO WORK WITH AN
OUTSTANDING CAST IN THIS FILM.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT TONYA
MARY, 79-YEAR-OLD, NOT A LOT OF
ACTING EXPERIENCE, BUT SHE WAS
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
>> SHE BECAME A BIG STAR IN
BRAZIL, WHICH I'M VERY HAPPY FOR
HER.
SHE'S NOW 78, I THINK.
IT WAS SO COOL.
SHE'S A LOVELY PERSON AND
AMAZING ACTRESS.
AND ACTING IS SOMETHING THAT CAN
HAPPEN TO ANYONE AT ANY TIME.
AND SHE'S JUST DOING GREAT.
>> SHE'S LUCKY TO WORK WITH YOU,
AS WELL.
I KNOW EVERYBODY AROUND THE
WORLD IS CHEERING YOU ON.
MY WIFE AND I INCLUDING.
>> WHERE IS SHE FROM?
>> SHE'S FROM --
CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK.
>> THANK YOU.
GOOD SEEING YOU.
>> I'M HERE WITH AMY MADIGAN.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE
NOMINATION.
>> THANK YOU.
>> PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST
UNIQUE CHARACTERS IN THE HISTORY
OF HORROR.
HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THIS ENERGY
AROUND THIS FILM THAT WE NEVER
REALLY SAW COMING?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE DIDN'T SEE IT COMING EITHER.
PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THIS FILM
AND WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD LIKE
AUNT GLADYS.
I THINK PEOPLE IDENTIFY WITH HER
IN A STRANGE WAY.
SHE'S A WOMAN WITH A MISSION AND
FIGHTING FOR HER SURVIVAL.
>> THERE'S SOME REMARKABLE CAST
IN THIS, AS WELL.
WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THEM?
>> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
THE LITTLE BOY THAT I WORKED
WITH IS FANTASTIC.
AND THE CAST, I MEAN, IT WAS A
SUBLIME EXPERIENCE.
I KNOW THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT, BUT
I REALLY MEAN THAT FROM MY
HEART.
IT WAS GREAT, BEGINNING, MIDDLE
AND END.
>> I LOVE THAT YOU USE SUBLIME
EXPERIENCE WHEN FILMING HORROR.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE GENRE?
>> IT USED TO BE LOOKED AT A
LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT THOSE DAYS
ARE GONE.
YOU STILL NEED A REALLY GOOD
STORY, REALLY GOOD ACTORS AND
DIRECTORS.
THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.
>> IT MAKES ME HAPPY THAT YOU'RE
NOMINATED.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
AND YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
>> SO DO YOU!
>> PINCH ME, I'M HERE WITH WUNMI
MOSAKU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
YOU'RE NOMINATED FOR BEST
SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN "SINNERS."
I HEARD THAT YOU ONLY READ ONE
SCENE BEFORE THE DIRECTOR SIGNED
ON.
>> NO, I SIGNED ON IN MY HEART.
THEY OFFERED ME THE ROLE WHEN I
HAD A CHEMISTRY MEET WITH
MICHAEL.
THEY OFFERED IT TO ME IN THE
ROOM AND I SAID YES.
>> SO YOU WEREN'T EMOTIONALLY
CHEATING JUST QUITE YET.
>> NO, NO.
>> I HEAR THAT YOU HAD TO DO A
LOT OF HOMEWORK, HOODOO AND
LEARNING ABOUT HOODOO HISTORY
AND TRADITION.
WHAT IS SOME OF THE MORE
INTERESTING STUFF YOU LEARNED?
>> I NEVER HEARD THE HOODOO
BEFORE.
I HAD HEARD VOODOO, AND LEARNING
THE DIFFERENCE.
HOODOO IS A GENERATION
DERIVATIVE OF THE TRADITIONAL
EUROPE SPIRITUAL SYSTEM.
SO I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF
THIS, AND JUST THE HERBAL KIND
OF ROOT SYSTEM, THE SPIRITUAL
DIVINE CONNECTION, AND THE
EARTHY AND GROUNDED IN LIKE WHAT
WE HAVE IN OUR LAND AND
INDIGENOUS MEDICINES AND
EVERYTHING, BUT ALSO THIS
SPIRITUAL CONNECTION OF THE
ANCESTORS.
>> YOU BRING IT TO LIFE.
CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER TO
YOU BECAUSE OF THE NOMINATION
AND ALSO ON BABY NUMBER TWO.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
STOPPING BY.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
THANK YOU.
>> I'M HERE WITH ETHAN HAWKE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
NOMINATION, A FIRST IN THE BEST
ACTOR CATEGORY.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
>> PRETTY GOOD.
I'VE ONLY BEEN DOING THIS JOB
ABOUT 40 YEARS.
IT'S ABOUT TIME I MADE IT TO THE
BIG SHOW.
>> I CAN TELL YOU THIS
TRANSFORMATION WAS REMARKABLE.
BOTH PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, A
CHARACTER MUCH SHORTER THAN
YOURSELF.
I'M TOLD THERE WERE SOME TRICKS
OF THE TRADE USED.
>> THE HISTORY OF CINEMA, THAT
CAN MAKE HUMPHREY BOGART LOOK
HUGE.
BUT WE USED EVERY TRICK YOU
COULD THINK OF, GOING BACK TO
HOW BUSTER KEATON WOULD HAVE
DONE IT, JUST MAKING THE
FURNITURE LARGER, PUTTING ME IN
TRENCHES, RAISING THE PAINTINGS
UP, EVERYTHING.
IT WAS REALLY FUN.
>> I'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR
RELATIONSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP
WITH RICHARD.
YOU WORKED TOGETHER MANY, MANY
TIMES.
WHAT DOES THAT PARTNERSHIP BRING
TO WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PRESENT?
>> WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT
FRIEND IN YOUR LIFE, AND I THINK
EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, THEY MAKE
YOU BETTER.
THEY ELEVATE YOUR CHARACTER, AND
YOU WANT TO BE THAT KIND OF
FRIEND.
I THINK WE HAVE TRIED TO DO THAT
FOR EACH OTHER.
HE HAS TWO OF THE BEST MOVIES
MADE THIS YEAR THAT ARE
BRILLIANT.
SO WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER A LONG
TIME, AND WE'RE GETTING OLDER
AND HE KEEPS GETTING BETTER.
>> SO DO YOU.
>> I APPRECIATE THAT.
>> YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE.
>> NOT AS GOOD AS YOU.
>> THANK YOU, ETHAN.
>> WELL, I'M HERE WITH A BRAND
NEW BACHELORETTE, TAYLOR FRANKIE
PAUL, WHO HAS SOME BIG EXCITING
"BACHELORETTE" NEWS TO ANNOUNCE.
>> TUNE NO TONIGHT FOR A SPECIAL
PREVIEW AFTER THE OSCARS AND
NEXT SUNDAY AT 8:00 P.M. RIGHT
HERE ON ABC.
>> WE'VE GOT NOR RED CARPET
AFTER THIS.
>> THE OSCARS RED CARPET SHOW ON
ABC.
>>> I'M JOINED NOW MY OSCAR
WINNER NICOLE KIDMAN.
YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
>> THANK YOU.
I'M ALL FEATHERY AND PINK.
>> YOU JUST FLOATED OVER HERE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
YOU'RE PRESENTING TONIGHT.
>> YES.
>> SPEAKING OF THAT, YOU HAVE A
LOT OF FUN PROJECTS WE'RE ABOUT
TO SEE COMING UP.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT
"PRACTICAL MAGIC" WITH SAND A
BULLOCK.
HOW IS IT WORKING ON THAT?
>> IT WAS FANTASTIC.
WE DID IT OF THE SUMMER AND
SANDY AND I ARE LIKE, ARE WE
REALLY GOING TO DO THIS?
SUDDENLY IT CAME TO FRUITION.
IT WAS LIKE EVERYTHING MAGICAL
HAPPENED, AND WE WERE THERE
FILMING IT OVER THE SUMMER, AND
IT'S COMING OUT SEPTEMBER --
>> IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS SINCE WE
SAW IT LAST TIME, SO EVERYBODY
IS EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT?
>> THIS IS MY THIRD TIME WORKING
WITH ELLE FANNING, AND IT'S JUST
A DELIGHT.
THE WAY SHE BEHAVES ON AND
OFFSET, SHE'S JUST DIVINE, AND
SHE GLOWS, LIKE SHE LITERALLY
GLOWS.
>> AS YOU DO, TOO.
WE ALL REMEMBER YOU WINNING FOR
YOUR WORK IN "THE HOURS."
JUST SEEING YOU IT JUST FEELS
LIKE THE OSCARS.
>> I'M JUST SO HAPPY TO BE HERE
AND CELEBRATING EVERYONE IN OUR
INDUSTRY, BECAUSE AS MUCH AS WE
TALK ABOUT THE ACTORS AND WHO
WINS BEST DIRECTOR AND BEST
FILM, WE HAVE TO WORK BEHIND THE
SCENES WITH THE PRODUCTION
DESIGNERS, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY,
ALL THE THINGS THAT GO INTO
MAKING A FILM, AND THIS IS WHERE
YOU
YOU NEAT THEM TONIGHT.
>> THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
>> I'M HERE WITH DEMON HUNTERS.
CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU'RE PERFORMING TONIGHT.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
>> GREAT THINGS, SOMETHING
GOLDEN.
>> JUST A LOT OF ASIAN FACES,
YEAH.
>> A LOT OF FANS OF K-POP.
HOW DO YOU THINK THIS SONG IN
THE MOVIE CHANGED THE PERCEPTION
OF K-POP AROUND THE WORLD?
>> I THINK THIS MOVIE HAS
TRULY -- I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE
JUST -- IT'S GLOBAL AND
UNIVERSAL.
A COMBINATION OF SO MANY GENRES,
SO I THINK PEOPLE ARE
RECOGNIZING HOW FAR K-POP CAN
REACH, IT'S NOT JUST FOR
KOREANS, BUT THE WORLD.
>> WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE
WATCHING THE SONG ON THE CHARTS
FOR SO LONG AND RECEIVE THING
LOVE?
I'M WITH MY NIECES, I'M AT WORK,
I CAN'T GET THE SONG OUT OF MY
HEAD, BUT IT'S LOVE BEHIND THE
LYRICS.
>> IT'S BEEN SUCH A JOYFUL
EXPERIENCE.
FOR US, THIS IS A PART OF OUR
STORY, NOT JUST AS MUSICIANS IN
THIS INDUSTRY, BUT AS PEOPLE ON
THIS EARTH, YOU KNOW, FEELING
SOMETIMES LEFT OUT OF CERTAIN
CONVERSATIONS, SOMETIMES OUTCAST
IN CERTAIN ROOMS.
I THINK TO SEE THE SONG, NOT
JUST DO WELL, BUT LIKE REALLY
BREAK RECORDS HAS BEEN SO
REDEMPTIVE AND HEALING FOR OUR
INNER CHILD.
SO WE'RE JUST GRATEFUL.
>> I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THE SONG
IS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SESSION OF
THERAPY FOR ALL OF US.
AND I CANNOT SAY ANOTHER THING
UNTIL I ACKNOWLEDGE THE BEAUTY
IN FRONT OF ME.
TRULY GOLDEN.
GOOD LUCK ON THE PERFORMANCE,
AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME THE
MOST POPULAR PERSON IN THE
UNIVERSE.

TALENTED PEOPLE YOU'RE SEAL HERE

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
>> YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED,
BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU AN
AMAZING ACTRESS, BUT AN
INCREDIBLE SINGER, VERY
ACCOMPLISHED SONGWRITER.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HOW DID YOU DRAW UPON THE
EXPERIENCE AS A SINGER TO GET
READY FOR THIS ROLE?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT WAS REALLY NICE
ABOUT THIS IS THE FIRST THING WE
DID IS WE WENT INTO THE
RECORDING STUDIO, AND IT WAS THE
FIRST TIME I FELT MUCH MORE
CONFIDENT IN A RECORDING STUDIO
THAN I WOULD HAVE HAD IF I WOULD
HAVE DONE IT TEN YEARS EARLIER.
I THINK THE VERY REASON THAT I
MADE THE ALBUM IS BECAUSE I
NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING, AND
THAT'S WHY I ENDED UP GET THING
MOVIE.
HUGH SAW ME MAKING THIS ALBUM
AND HE WAS LIKE, THAT'S ART
CLAIRE AND I WOULDN'T BE HERE
WITHOUT THAT.
>> THE PERFORMANCE WAS JUST
INCREDIBLE.
YOU'VE BEEN NOMINATED ONCE
BEFORE.
HOW DIFFERENT DOES IT FEEL NOW?
>> SO DIFFERENT, IT'S SO
DIFFERENT.
>> HOW SO?
>> THERE'S A LOT MORE TO DO.
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS ALMOST THE
'90s WHEN I WAS NOMINATED.
NOT AS MANY THINGS, AND NOW I'VE
HAD LIKE TWO DECADES OF A CAREER
WITH PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS
THAT I'VE ESTABLISHED.
PEOPLE THAT I LOVE THAT ARE HERE
TONIGHT THAT I GET TO CELEBRATE
AS WELL, AND SO IT JUST FEELS
LIKE -- IT FEELS A LOT WARMER, A
LOT COZIER, I THINK THAN IT DID
THE FIRST TIME.
