00:00We're here celebrating Oscar nominees tonight.

00:02What was your favorite movie of this past year?

00:05Il Capitano, actually, the Italian film.

00:08I didn't expect it, but it's the first time it got chilled in the theater for years.

00:14Yeah, when you don't expect something, you know, there's a lot of movies with a lot of hypes

00:17and a lot of publicity around it.

00:19Your expectations are so high.

00:22When I went to see this film at an Italian film festival, I had no expectation.

00:25I didn't hear about this film at all.

00:27And then this one scene came, and I got chills all over it.

00:31It got better and better and better.

00:32It's nominated for Best Foreign Film, and I'm really rooting for it.

00:36That's amazing.

00:37Who would you say gave your favorite on-screen performance of this past year, an actor or actress?

00:43I think Poor Things.

00:47Emma was amazing.

00:49She was incredible.

00:50She's great at everything she does, but she really surprised me at that one.

00:53She did something new that you haven't seen before, and she ran.

00:57All in it, and I gave her all.

00:59And I always appreciate actors when they put all of their performances in it.

01:04And in the great Barbenheimer debate, who do you choose, Barbie or Oppenheimer?

01:08Oppenheimer.

01:09Sorry, it took me about one second to...

01:11Yeah, yeah.

01:11There's no competition, I think.

01:13Both are great films, but Oppenheimer, it's like, I feel like, all other level.

01:18And can you tell me a little bit about the show that you have on Hulu right now?

01:22It's called We Were the Lucky Ones.

01:23It's a miniseries, a limited series.

01:26It comes out in March 28th.

01:29It's very exciting.

01:30It's a true story about a family in the Holocaust.

01:34And each episode, we see it a few years after, so really follow this family in different parts

01:41of the world, right before the war starts, and how they found each other after that.

01:46And it's actually the best scripts I ever read.

01:49And we shot in Romania for a few months, and they built a whole city, a Polish city, and

01:54it's very exciting.

01:55It sounds like it was probably a challenging role to take on and portray a real person.

02:00What would you say was the most challenging part about it for you?

02:03Yeah, it was very challenging.

02:07Just because everything around it felt so real.

02:11The fact that people really went through something like that, and things didn't make sense then,

02:18and also now, and our experience is also, which is very crazy.

02:21Like, the history repeats itself.

02:25I think now it's even harder, because you see, like, oh, it's back again.

02:29Anti-Semitism is back.

02:30And, like, yeah, so that's the hard part about it.

02:33Like, it's not part of the history, it's part of the present.
