Transcript
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.
