00:00Does anyone, you know, but nobody does, I don't think.
00:04No. Oh, it's still working. It's still going. I can't believe it.
00:08You can go and have a cup of tea, you can have a drink.
00:12I'm just going to have a little bit of water. I've got a little bit of a tickly cough.
00:14What a day. You're allowed a tickly cough on a day like today.
00:18Do you get as excited every time? I mean, how does it all work?
00:21Do you know in advance and do your team know?
00:23I mean, I'm fascinated by how it works in the nomination business.
00:26Oh, I know. I think you should know in advance.
00:28You know, I'm always asking my team, does anyone know?
00:30Does anyone, you know, but nobody does, I don't think.
00:33No. I think you find out, I think everyone, it is genuine.
00:38I think everyone finds out on the day.
00:40Oh, it's so incredible. Can I just name who you're up against?
00:43Yes. Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, Jamie Lee Curtis, Zoe Saldana and Isabella Rossellini.
00:50Yeah, what a list.
00:51I mean, that is the best girl group ever.
00:53Pretty cool, yeah. All doing really cool performances.
00:59Interesting performances in pretty cool films.
01:03When you look back at your career so far,
01:05did you think you'd be here against those ladies in all the different genres you're in?
01:09We're really making headway, aren't we?
01:11Yeah. I mean, I'm shocked that each year I sort of do a film
01:16and I'm like, oh, I'm still working. It's still going. I can't believe it.
01:20I'm always thinking, what are my other options, you know, if I'm forced into retirement?
01:24But luckily I haven't been quite yet.
01:27Yeah, not yet.
01:28But it is, it's pretty special to have a film like The Brutalist.
01:32It's so unusual to read something like this.
01:36And so often, you never know quite how it's going to go.
01:39And a film like this, we could have shown it and people not respond to it
01:43and it would have disappeared.
01:44So having the awards and the response just gives it a long, long life, hopefully.
01:50And talking of long, I love there's an advert break in this.
01:53You can step out of the room for 15 minutes.
01:56What's your advice for what you do in that break? Have you got any...?
01:59Well, you can go and have a cup of tea.
02:02You can have a drink. You can have a chat.
02:06Hopefully you don't leave the cinema. That would not be great.
02:09But I think people are enjoying the fact that it is so novel.
02:14When was the last time you saw a film with an intermission?
02:17I mean, it would have been decades ago that that would have happened.
02:21You're making history.
02:22And the accent, just finally, unbelievable, remarkable.
02:25How did you keep that up?
02:26And when you first found out about it, were you daunted?
02:28Yeah, I was really...
02:31I knew I wanted to do it and I was all in and I read it and I really liked it
02:35and I did think, oh gosh, hold on a minute.
02:37Am I really going to have to pull the stops out here?
02:40Because I was so determined.
02:42I just didn't want people to be thinking about the accent when they were watching it.
02:46I just wanted them to be in the character, in her,
02:49and hopefully we've all pulled it off.
02:53But it was definitely...
02:55Playing Erzsébet was a challenge for sure.
02:58And your friends and family, at the end, were they like,
03:00thank goodness for that accent. It's gone for a little bit.
03:02Yeah, exactly.
03:03I think my husband's always relieved when Erzsébet,
03:07or whatever character I'm playing, departs our house.
03:10It's like, oh, Felicity's come back, great.
03:12We can carry on with our lives.
03:14Exactly.
03:15Well, you were unbelievable.
03:16Really, really well done.
03:17I think you're a rebel in this moment. You deserve it.
03:20Thank you, Felicity.
03:21Thank you very much. Thank you.
