00:00You look so beautiful. I love this dress.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:03It's Louis Vuitton.
00:05Very happy.
00:07Well, this is a happy time.
00:08Coming up, I mean, the Oscars are only two weeks away.
00:11How do you feel approaching as a nominee?
00:14I feel excited.
00:15Like, this is dreamy.
00:17Like, I never...
00:18I always wanted to go and I always hoped I'd go.
00:21And I think somewhere in my heart I truly believed I'd be there one day.
00:25But I didn't think it would be now.
00:27You know, I didn't think it...
00:28I just, you know, you don't think when it's coming.
00:31But you just hope that it does.
00:33And, yeah, it's here. It's coming.
00:37At what point did you realize that Sinners was a special project?
00:40Was it when you read the script or on set or after seeing the response?
00:44No, from the moment I read the first seven pages, I was like,
00:47this is writing like I've never seen before.
00:49This is...
00:51So the quality of it, the character work,
00:55the development in those seven pages between Smoke and Annie,
00:58I was like, oh, Ryan Coogler is so talented and he's so brilliant.
01:03And then he told me what the rest of the film was about.
01:06And I was like, I see it.
01:07I mean, wow, I wasn't expecting it to be all of these different genres.
01:12But I can see the vision and I know you're going to execute it perfectly.
01:19And finally, before you have to go, I have to ask,
01:21tell me about your ice out pin and why it was important to wear it tonight.
01:24I think it's important because I think what's going on in this country
01:29is incredibly terrifying.
01:31And we need to do something about it.
01:37This isn't right.
01:39This isn't respectful.
01:42This is human rights and dignity and life is being trashed and diminished.
01:49And so, yeah, I need them out.
01:52I appreciate you sharing that and good luck as you approach.
