00:00 Now, we are heading into the Oscars next month.
00:03 Will we see you there?
00:04 And how bummed are you that Greta and Margot
00:06 got snubbed with Barbie?
00:08 - You can't get upset about things like that, honestly.
00:12 What is fantastic is that Barbie
00:15 was the highest grossing film that Warner Brothers
00:17 have ever had in their life.
00:20 I mean, of course I would have loved to have seen Greta,
00:23 and I think she should win Best.
00:25 It's so difficult.
00:26 It's not a running race.
00:29 You know, you can't,
00:31 Christopher Nolan's work on Oppenheimer
00:33 was spectacular, extraordinary.
00:35 But for me, Greta's work was so out there,
00:39 it was so brave, it was something we'd never seen before.
00:43 So, I just love the fact that the audience
00:47 responded the way they did.
00:48 - You all changed the game with this film.
00:51 Now, is it true that there is a deleted scene
00:53 with you and Olivia Colman playing drunk narrators?
00:57 - We did shoot that scene, yes we did.
00:59 I'd love to see it sometime.
01:01 - Were you playing drunk narrators,
01:02 or was this method acting?
01:04 - I think Olivia was drunk,
01:05 and trying to take over my role as narrator,
01:08 and I was fighting her off.
01:10 - Congratulations, a big night for you,
01:12 an amazing honor.
01:14 What does this mean to you,
01:15 and what do you hope your Hollywood legacy is?
01:18 - Oh gosh, it's incredibly meaningful to me,
01:22 because I was always a huge admirer of American film acting,
01:27 even when I was a young actress in England,
01:31 and never dreaming that I would ever
01:34 sort of have the opportunity to work in America,
01:37 but I was an admirer from afar.
01:40 So, to have been sort of welcomed into the community here,
01:43 to have been given work by the American film industry,
01:48 was absolutely miraculous for me.
01:50 And so, on top of everything,
01:52 on top of all of that, to be recognized,
01:55 I just, I'm very excited, I'm very proud.
02:00 I'm supposed to say I'm humbled,
02:03 but I'm not humbled at all.
02:05 I feel fantastic.
02:06 (laughing)
02:07 - I love it, just own it.
02:08 I feel freaking fantastic.
02:10 - Yeah, exactly.
