00:00So, I mean, you're here because of Sharp Objects, yes?
00:04And I'm presenting Best Feature tonight.
00:06So I'm the last award of the night.
00:09I can't drink too much wine.
00:10I know.
00:11Amazing.
00:12Well, so how did you bring this character of Adora,
00:16this very psychological, temptuous character, to life?
00:20Well, you know, this is not false modesty or false humility.
00:26I really, it was on the page.
00:28It was a beautifully written, very complex, dark, tormented,
00:34but rather elegant and beautiful woman.
00:37So it was these contradictions every day that I was on the set
00:41that John Mark and Amy, that I had to, I was so careful not to miss.
00:46I tried to get all of the layers.
00:49It's a very layered character, and that's, you know, I'm 58.
00:53It's a beautiful thing to be playing some of the most complex characters
00:57you've ever played at 58.
00:59That's nice.
01:00She really is complex, especially when you look at kind of the femininity
01:04of the whole thing.
01:06And you look at this kind of, just like a temptress.
01:10They call her like Miss Havisham.
01:12You know, in these layers.
01:14Oh, she has Miss, she's Miss Havisham.
01:16She's Blanche Du Bois.
01:17She's all of these iconic characters kind of rolled into her own piece
01:22because Gillian Flynn created this woman.
01:26And I'm so thankful to her.
01:28Oh, I'm always thankful, forever thankful to Gillian Flynn for playing Adora.
01:33Yes.
01:33Well, and so when your character and Amy Adams' characters are kind of pitted against each other
01:38in that monumental episode, I mean, were you just watching fans' reactions pour in?
01:42No, I don't watch, I don't, I have no social media presence.
01:46I've never seen, oh, because I can only imagine what they said.
01:49No, no, no, I don't know.
01:51Oh, ho, ho, ho.
01:53I just, I just stay home and kiss on my dog and watch the news.
01:58Oh, gosh.
01:59Thanks.
02:01I don't know what to say.
02:02I know, that's true, that's true.
02:04Amazing.
02:05Well, so what, you know, are we going to see a season, another season?
02:09I don't think so.
02:10I think that's all we're going to see of that lovely, fractured, dysfunctional family.
02:16I think that's all we're going to see.
02:18What are you going to miss most about Adora?
02:22Amy and Eliza, Chris Messina, Matt Craven.
02:27You know, they're just yummy people.
02:29They're beautiful people.
02:31Every day on the set, when I was working with them, it was a treat, a real pleasure.
02:39I don't, it might have been a little difficult too, but what did you learn from your character?
02:43What did you learn from Adora?
02:48That, you know, the complexity, we all, we shouldn't, we're often quick to judge.
02:56And we have to realize there are people that are ill, and we have to understand mental illness.
03:04We do.
03:06Thank you so much.
