00:00So winning an Oscar by yourself with no one's help, that's an awesome feat.
00:05So now that you've won this big honor on your own, how are you going to change on the day-to-day basis?
00:12I have to be at a table read for mom at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning.
00:15So I am going right back to work and I am so happy that I have a job to go to after something like this
00:23because it can go to your head and then tomorrow to wake up and have nothing to do
00:28and have this whole journey be over starting in September when we premiered at the Toronto Film Festival
00:33and the whole journey we've been through has been extraordinary
00:37and it's going to be, I'm going to have a big crash down after this
00:41so I'm happy that I have mom, the people at mom to lift me up and keep me going and keep me focused
00:48and I'm just happy to have a job to go to tomorrow.
00:52But this was extraordinary, thank you.
00:54We're coming down to 1.34, then we'll go to 1.43.
00:56Hi.
00:57Hi.
00:57All right, so where did trophies, I mean you have a ton of Emmys,
01:02you've got every award leading up to this one this year now, you have an Oscar.
01:05Was that ever part of your fantasy of what your acting career was going to be like
01:10or is this like this great side effect?
01:13I certainly, I kind of didn't dare to dream of things like this
01:18because I didn't want to be disappointed and I think at a certain point I had given up
01:24thinking this would happen for me because I just wasn't getting the kind of role
01:27roles in film that would give me attention like this and that's what my very good friend
01:34Steven Rogers did for me.
01:35He says he did it, wrote this for me to do just that, to show a different side of me
01:40and show that I could, what I could do and I will never be able to repay him.
01:44It's an extraordinary gift he gave me, it's kind of overwhelming.
01:49I'm going to get him, I think I'm going to get him a Rolex, I don't know, what do you think?
01:52And engrave it on the back, I haven't figured out what, but I got to get him a good present.
01:56I think that's a start at least.
01:59We're going to 1.43 and then 2.87.
02:02Hi, Lauren Turner from BBC News.
02:08I'm looking for you.
02:09Oh, there you are, good shout out of that.
02:10Hello.
02:10Hey.
02:11You've spoken about using your inner critic for this role, but what's your inner voice saying right now?
02:20Bravo.
02:21Good going, girl.
02:23I'm proud of you.
02:28We're going to go to 2.87 and then, again, don't shoot the messenger, but she has to leave, so we'll end with 2.59.
02:35How are you doing?
02:35Taylor Kaye from Toronto.
02:37Hi.
02:38Hey, we're asking, what makes a great story?
02:42Oh, God, what makes a great story?
02:44Fully realized characters, characters who have big needs, wants, desires that butt up against people who don't want them to have them.
03:05Definitely great characters and great writing.
03:08Great writing is key.
03:10That's why, when I read a script as an actress that I get excited about, like I, Tanya, or American Beauty, or Juno, or the things that West Wing that I've gotten to do, that just gets me so, it makes me want to come alive.
03:24And I feel like I come alive when I do all the different roles I've gotten to do.
03:28It's how I feel the most tethered to the earth, and I feel a communicator when I'm telling other stories.
03:35And great storytellers are great writers, and I like telling stories.
03:43We're ending on your right, Alison.
03:45Alison over here.
03:46Angela Bishop from Network 10 Australia.
03:49Can you talk us through a little bit of what it was like working with Margot Robbie and director Craig Gillespie?
03:55Yeah, I met them both.
03:59Well, I met Margot the day before I started shooting, and I really, I only had eight days to shoot this role with them because I was doing Mom and doing, I was rehearsing for Six Degrees of Separation, the Broadway play I did last spring.
04:12I've never been more busy as I was last year, so when this came together, I had no time to do it.
04:17And all these producers made it happen, the producers of Mom and Six Degrees and, you know, Margot and Tom and Brian, Brian Uncliss and Tom Ackerley of Lucky Chap.
04:28They made it happen for me, and they're extraordinary.
04:32Margot has, she's kind of a phenomenon because I have no head for business whatsoever.
04:37All I know how to do is be a moat and do my act, but she's got this great head for business and a beautiful heart, an artist's soul and a heart, and she's remarkable.
04:46I cannot wait to see what she's going to accomplish in her career.
04:50She's, you know, 20-nothing, and she's done this unbelievable performance in I, Tanya, and she's going to do extraordinary things.
04:59They're both, and Craig just, he killed this movie.
05:02He just killed it.
05:03I mean, the bad, I mean, killed in a good way.
05:06He just nailed it.
05:07He knew how to get, just, it was a running freight train.
05:12We had to get, we had no time to shoot it, and he had the best sense of humor and best attitude and knew how to grab things on the fly, and he's just a remarkable man.
05:25They're both, I've never even been to Australia, but I've got to go now because I, yeah.
05:30Good on you, then.
05:34Yeah, exactly.
05:36Thank you so much, and congratulations.
05:37Thank you very much.
