00:00Are you feeling like the belle of the ball here tonight at the Oscars?
00:03I don't know. I'm just feeling like nervous and so excited.
00:06This has always been like my dream to come and attend the Oscars.
00:10So it's such a crazy, like surreal moment to get to be here.
00:16What's a film or performance that you're rooting for tonight?
00:19A film performance?
00:22God, I don't know. I mean, of course, I've got to root for Elle Fanning.
00:26I'm obsessed with her.
00:29I'm also rooting for Diane Warren.
00:34I don't know. It's so hard because all of the nominees for Best Picture were so good this year.
00:42I don't know. One Battle After Another, but also Sinners and the Begonia was crazy.
00:46Emma Stone and that was wild.
00:48I don't know, but all I know is I'm definitely rooting for Elle.
00:51And I'm asking everyone, what's on your Oscars bucket list tonight?
00:56What needs to happen by the end of the night for it to be a good night?
00:59And I will tell you, Mason said for him, it's shake Leonardo DiCaprio's hand.
01:03Well, then that's mine the same. I'm like, I have Leo on my walls.
01:08God, I don't know. I am such a fan.
01:12And so I'm quite, I mean, it's hard to get around in this dress and these heels.
01:17But I am about to sneak around and meet everybody that I'm a fan of. I'm so excited.
01:21Also, my bucket list tonight is that I have pockets and I brought Pokemon cards because I figured that nobody's
01:30ever opened Pokemon cards at the Oscars before.
01:32And so I thought that'd be really funny.
01:35Wait, I love that. You're like, I'm going to be the first one to do it. Set a world record,
01:39I guess, if you say that.
01:41Yeah, I also love your dress. I love this bow. It's so cute.
01:44Oh my gosh, you are so sweet. Thank you.
01:46And I mean, this has been such a booked and busy era for you.
01:50How would you describe this era of your career?
01:53I don't know. It's been wild.
01:54I've been so fortunate over my career to have, you know, consistently been jumping around.
02:00But this year has been, like, on a different level.
02:03It's been so wild because I got to be a part of so many things that are on such a
02:07grand scale and also that I'm such a big fan of.
02:11And not only that, but also, like, films that I did, like, two or three years ago are coming out
02:15now.
02:16And it's, like, everything all at once.
02:17And so it's been so incredible.
02:21It's been crazy. I'm so grateful and thankful.
02:24And I just, like, I don't know, I treat everything like it's the last time I could ever work or
02:28the last time I ever stepped foot in here.
02:29So I'm just, like, I don't know. I'm taking it all in.
02:32And how incredible is it to be playing Daphne?
02:36I'm so excited. I'm so excited.
02:39I love Daphne.
02:40I dressed up as her, like, for two or three Halloweens.
02:43I'm obsessed with Daphne.
02:44She's my favorite character.
02:47I'm so beyond. I'm so beyond.
02:50Yeah, I'm ecstatic.
02:52I'm just going to re-watch, like, every Scooby-Doo movie and series ever now.
02:56Oh, my God. I love that so much.
02:57That was the best reaction ever.
02:59I'm so excited.
