>>> IT WAS ONE AMAZING YEAR FOR

MOVIES.

FILLED WITH ONE BLOCKBUSTER, ONE

MASTERPIECE, ONE CAREER-DEFINING

PERFORMANCE AFTER ANOTHER.

AND IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS THE OSCARS RED CARPET

SHOW.

HELLO, EVERYONE, I'M TAMRON

HALL.

I'M THRILLED TO BE OUT HERE

WELCOMING ALL OF THE DEMON

HUNTERS, SINNERS, AND

CINEMATOGRAPHERS TO THE PARTY OF

THE YEAR.

AND JOINING ME IS THE SMOKE TO

MY STACK, THE SENSEI TO MY BOB,

JESSE PALMER.

>> HEY, THANKS, TAMRON.

UNLIKE SENSEI, I PROMISE NOT TO

HAVE ANY SMALL BEERS, EVEN IF I

AM ALREADY STARSTRUCK, THOUGH,

BY WHO I HAVE WITH ME.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STOPPING

BY.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> WE'RE KICKING OFF THIS RED

CARPET SHOW NOW WITH A BANG THAT

YOU'RE HERE.

CONGRATULATIONS, NOMINATED FOR

BEST ACTRESS.

YOU WERE PHENOMENAL.

I KNOW IT'S YOUR FIRST OSCAR

NOMINATION, SWAS WELL.

HOW DID YOU CELEBRATE?

>> I WAS IN AUSTRALIA WITH MY

PARENTS, AND WE WERE IN THE

MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, AND I WAS

HALF ASLEEP, KNOWING THEY WOULD

CALL IF IT HAPPENED, AND WE JUST

STARTED SCREAMING.

IT WAS LIKE, 1:00 A.M.

IT WAS AMAZING.

>> SUCH A TREMENDOUS ACHIEVEMENT

AND LONG OVERDUE.

WATCHING THIS FILM IS

INCREDIBLE, BECAUSE YOUR

CHARACTER REALLY IS A FORCE.

FLF

THERE WAS AN AMAZING, EMOTIONAL

ARC THAT YOU HAD TO EXPLORE.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT

YOURSELF?

>> THE ROLE WAS A GIFT, AND IT'S

AN EXAMINATION OF PARENTHOOD, SO

YOU REFLECT ON YOUR OWN

LIMITATIONS AND YOUR OWN

EXPERIENCE.

BUT IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE GIFT,

THIS PART.

SO I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL.

>> A VERY SPECIAL NIGHT FOR YOU

TONIGHT.

A LOT OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY,

INCLUDING A BRAND NEW FAMILY

PET.

YOU GOT A BEARDED DRAGON.

TAMRON, OVER TO YOU.

>> I'M HERE WITH ZOE ZALDANYA.

A YEAR AGO YOU WALKED AWAY WITH

YOUR OSCAR.

TELL ME WHAT THIS YEAR HAS BEEN

LIKE FOR YOU.

>> IT'S BEEN BEAUTIFUL, BUT BACK

TO NORMAL, WHERE YOU WIN

SOMETHING AND YOU GIVE YOURSELF

THAT CREDIT.

BUT THE NEXT DAY YOU GO TAKE THE

KIDS TO SCHOOL AND YOU STUDY

YOUR LINES AND VISIT YOUR

PARENTS.

LIFE REALLY CONTINUED.

I DID DO SOMETHING REALLY

UNEXPECTED THAT I HAD BEEN

MISSING FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

I'VE BEEN TAKING A LOT MORE

NAPS.

>> WITH BOYS, YOU HAVE TIME TO

NAP?

>> YES, YES.

>> THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

>> WHEN THEY'RE LEARNING AND

BUSY, THAT'S MY TIME TO SORT OF

SIT BACK AND EITHER READ A BOOK

OR TAKE A LITTLE 20-MINUTE NAP.

IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE.

>> YOU NOW HAVE TAKEN THE HEARTS

OF EVERY PARENT AROUND.

"AVATAR" AND "NASH" NOMINATED

FOR BEST COSTUME DESIGN.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH

SUCH A TALENTED TEAMSOME

>> IT'S AMAZING.

I ALWAYS FELT THESE

INSECURITIES, I'VE NEVER GONE TO

COLLEGE TO DO WHAT I DO, BUT

EVERY FILM I'VE BEEN A PART OF

HAS GIVEN ME THAT EDUCATION AND

GIVEN ME THAT EXPOSURE TO

INCREDIBLE ARTISTS AND TO

COLLABORATE WITH A WONDERFUL

COMMUNITY, TO SEE THEM BEING

RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR WORK IT

ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S THE GIFT

THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.

>> AND A GIFT TO THE FAMILY.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU.

YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> JOINED NOW BY DAMSON IDRIS,

WHO SCORES IN "F1" UP FOR

MULTIPLE NOMINATIONS, INCLUDING

BEST FILM.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.

TALK ABOUT BLESSED, BECAUSE THE

FILM HAS JUST BEEN SO WELL

RECEIVED GLOBALLY.

WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE WORKING ON

A FILM LIKE THAT?

>> IT TOOK TWO YEARS TO SHOOT

FOR JOE AND JERRY AND EVERYONE

ELSE, FOUR YEARS TO COMPLETE.

I SURVIVED A STRIKE, I SURVIVED

DRIVING 180 MILES PER HOUR AND

STANDING NEXT TO BRAD PITT AND

NOT LOOKING STUPID.

>> YOU HAD TO OVERCOME A LOT.

I'VE GOT TO SAY, VISUALLY, ONE

OF THE MOST STUNNING FILMS I'VE

EVER SEEN.

SPEAKING OF VISUALS, I WANTED TO

ASK YOU ABOUT THE BROACH.

>> THIS IS IDRIS.

I MADE IT AS AN HOMAGE TO MY

MOTHER.

THIS RIGHT HERE IS ENGRAVED WITH

F1, A BLUE DIAMOND, 18 CARAT

GOLD.

>> NOT CHEAP.

>> YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

>> WE SAY IN SPORTS, LOOK GOOD,

FEEL GOOD, PLAY GOOD.

AND HE'S BUILT FOR SPEED.

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.

CONGRATS.

>> I'M HERE WITH ELLE FANNING.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR FIRST

OSCAR NOMINATION.

>> I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

I'M ABOUT TO BURST INTO TEARS

RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU ARE WALKING IN.

>> AND IT'S REAL.

MY HEART IS POUNDING RIGHT NOW.

YOU KNOW, I BROUGHT MY MOM, MY

BOYFRIEND, AND SHE GETS TO SIT

WITH ME.

SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO THE OSCARS

BEFORE.

MY FIRST TIME WAS ONLY LAST

YEAR, BUT IT WASN'T AS A

NOMINEE.

SO I'M JUST VERY GRATEFUL.

>> I LOVE YOU WE ARE WITH YOUR

BOYFRIEND AND MOM.

THE MOVIE IS ABOUT WHAT WE HOLD

ONTO, THE THINGS THAT WE VALUE,

THE THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER IN

OUR LIVES.

WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY FROM THAT

STORY?

>> THIS FILM "SENTIMENTAL VALUE"

IS SO DEAR TO MY HEART.

I HAD SUCH A KIND OF CATHARTIC

EXPERIENCE WHILE FILMING IT.

JOACHIM TRIER IS A GENIUS, AND

HE PULLS THESE EMOTIONS OUT OF

YOU THAT YOU KNEW YOU HAD BUT

LYING DORMANT FOR A WHILE.

HE'S ABLE TO BRING THEM OUT OF

YOU, AND JUST SUCH A PERSONAL

PIECE OF ART FOR ALL OF US.

WE'RE ALL NOMINATED, SO IT'S

KIND OF OUR LAST CELEBRATION.

I AM A VERY SENTIMENTAL PERSON.

EVEN TODAY GETTING READY, I'M

KEEPING TISSUES, YOU KNOW WHAT I

MEAN?

>> YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE

DRESS.

IT IS STUNNING.

>> I WANTED TO LOOK LIKE MYSELF,

BUT TIMELESS.

THIS IS DESIGNED BY MY FRIEND,

SARAH BURTON, AND THIS IS

WISTERIA, IT'S FROM 1903, SO

IT'S AN ARCHIVAL PIECE.

THIS IS WISTERIA ON THE DRESS,

TOO.

>> WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.

GOOD LUCK TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> THANK YOU, ELLE.

>> THIS IS SO EXCITING, BECAUSE

I CAN'T REMEMBER A YEAR WHEN

EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY WAS THIS

CLOSE.

IN FACT, THE ONLY THING I'M

CERTAIN I GOT RIGHT ON MY BALLOT

WAS MY NAME.

BUT CAN YOU PREDICT WHO IS

WINNING BIG TONIGHT?

PLAY FOR A CHANCE TO WIN A TRIP

FOR TWO, PLUS $5,000 PLUS

MERCHANDISE.

WHO KNOWS, MAYBE I'LL BE TALKING

TO ONE OF YOUR PICKS LIVE RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

>> TONIGHT, WE GATHER TO HONOR

THE TONGVA PEOPLE.

WE HONOR AND PAY OUR RESPECTS TO

INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AROUND

THE WORLD.

THE ORIGINAL STORYTELLERS AND

THE FOUNDATION OF OUR GLOBAL

FILM MAKING COMMUNITY.

>>> WELCOME BACK TO THE RED

CARPET.

OKAY, I'M STANDING HERE WITH

SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO WIN ME

SOME SERIOUS BROWNIE POINTS WITH

MY BRAZIL WIFE.

HOW IS YOUR PORTUGUESE?

>> I'M PRACTICING IT.

[ SPEAKING IN A GLOBAL

LANGUAGE ]

>> CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, AS

WELL, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS

YOUR FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION.

>> YES.

>> HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HERE

TONIGHT?

>> IT FEELS GREAT, ALL THE

ATTENTION THAT THIS FILM IS

RECEIVING IS AMAZING.

IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS THE TOP OF

THE WHOLE JOURNEY THAT WE'VE

BEEN GOING THROUGH THESE CANNES.

>> FIRST BRAZILIAN EVER TO BE UP

FOR BEST ACTOR.

HOW ARE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

CELEBRATING?

>> ALL THE BRAZILIANS HERE.

I THINK HERE TONIGHT, THERE'S

LIKE A HUNDRED BRAZILIANS,

PEOPLE FROM THE CREW AND THE

CAST AND FRIENDS OF OURS HAVE

CAME.

AND THE PEOPLE IN BRAZIL ARE

VERY EXCITED.

>> SO MANY PEOPLE CHEERING YOU

ON.

YOU GOT TO WORK WITH AN

OUTSTANDING CAST IN THIS FILM.

I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT TONYA

MARY, 79-YEAR-OLD, NOT A LOT OF

ACTING EXPERIENCE, BUT SHE WAS

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

>> SHE BECAME A BIG STAR IN

BRAZIL, WHICH I'M VERY HAPPY FOR

HER.

SHE'S NOW 78, I THINK.

IT WAS SO COOL.

SHE'S A LOVELY PERSON AND

AMAZING ACTRESS.

AND ACTING IS SOMETHING THAT CAN

HAPPEN TO ANYONE AT ANY TIME.

AND SHE'S JUST DOING GREAT.

>> SHE'S LUCKY TO WORK WITH YOU,

AS WELL.

I KNOW EVERYBODY AROUND THE

WORLD IS CHEERING YOU ON.

MY WIFE AND I INCLUDING.

>> WHERE IS SHE FROM?

>> SHE'S FROM --

CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK.

>> THANK YOU.

GOOD SEEING YOU.

>> I'M HERE WITH AMY MADIGAN.

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE

NOMINATION.

>> THANK YOU.

>> PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST

UNIQUE CHARACTERS IN THE HISTORY

OF HORROR.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE THIS ENERGY

AROUND THIS FILM THAT WE NEVER

REALLY SAW COMING?

>> YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE DIDN'T SEE IT COMING EITHER.

PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THIS FILM

AND WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD LIKE

AUNT GLADYS.

I THINK PEOPLE IDENTIFY WITH HER

IN A STRANGE WAY.

SHE'S A WOMAN WITH A MISSION AND

FIGHTING FOR HER SURVIVAL.

>> THERE'S SOME REMARKABLE CAST

IN THIS, AS WELL.

WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM THEM?

>> ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

THE LITTLE BOY THAT I WORKED

WITH IS FANTASTIC.

AND THE CAST, I MEAN, IT WAS A

SUBLIME EXPERIENCE.

I KNOW THAT PEOPLE SAY THAT, BUT

I REALLY MEAN THAT FROM MY

HEART.

IT WAS GREAT, BEGINNING, MIDDLE

AND END.

>> I LOVE THAT YOU USE SUBLIME

EXPERIENCE WHEN FILMING HORROR.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE GENRE?

>> IT USED TO BE LOOKED AT A

LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT THOSE DAYS

ARE GONE.

YOU STILL NEED A REALLY GOOD

STORY, REALLY GOOD ACTORS AND

DIRECTORS.

THAT MAKES ME HAPPY.

>> IT MAKES ME HAPPY THAT YOU'RE

NOMINATED.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

>> SO DO YOU!

>> PINCH ME, I'M HERE WITH WUNMI

MOSAKU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

YOU'RE NOMINATED FOR BEST

SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN "SINNERS."

I HEARD THAT YOU ONLY READ ONE

SCENE BEFORE THE DIRECTOR SIGNED

ON.

>> NO, I SIGNED ON IN MY HEART.

THEY OFFERED ME THE ROLE WHEN I

HAD A CHEMISTRY MEET WITH

MICHAEL.

THEY OFFERED IT TO ME IN THE

ROOM AND I SAID YES.

>> SO YOU WEREN'T EMOTIONALLY

CHEATING JUST QUITE YET.

>> NO, NO.

>> I HEAR THAT YOU HAD TO DO A

LOT OF HOMEWORK, HOODOO AND

LEARNING ABOUT HOODOO HISTORY

AND TRADITION.

WHAT IS SOME OF THE MORE

INTERESTING STUFF YOU LEARNED?

>> I NEVER HEARD THE HOODOO

BEFORE.

I HAD HEARD VOODOO, AND LEARNING

THE DIFFERENCE.

HOODOO IS A GENERATION

DERIVATIVE OF THE TRADITIONAL

EUROPE SPIRITUAL SYSTEM.

SO I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT ANY OF

THIS, AND JUST THE HERBAL KIND

OF ROOT SYSTEM, THE SPIRITUAL

DIVINE CONNECTION, AND THE

EARTHY AND GROUNDED IN LIKE WHAT

WE HAVE IN OUR LAND AND

INDIGENOUS MEDICINES AND

EVERYTHING, BUT ALSO THIS

SPIRITUAL CONNECTION OF THE

ANCESTORS.

>> YOU BRING IT TO LIFE.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER TO

YOU BECAUSE OF THE NOMINATION

AND ALSO ON BABY NUMBER TWO.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

STOPPING BY.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

THANK YOU.

>> I'M HERE WITH ETHAN HAWKE.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR

NOMINATION, A FIRST IN THE BEST

ACTOR CATEGORY.

HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

>> PRETTY GOOD.

I'VE ONLY BEEN DOING THIS JOB

ABOUT 40 YEARS.

IT'S ABOUT TIME I MADE IT TO THE

BIG SHOW.

>> I CAN TELL YOU THIS

TRANSFORMATION WAS REMARKABLE.

BOTH PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, A

CHARACTER MUCH SHORTER THAN

YOURSELF.

I'M TOLD THERE WERE SOME TRICKS

OF THE TRADE USED.

>> THE HISTORY OF CINEMA, THAT

CAN MAKE HUMPHREY BOGART LOOK

HUGE.

BUT WE USED EVERY TRICK YOU

COULD THINK OF, GOING BACK TO

HOW BUSTER KEATON WOULD HAVE

DONE IT, JUST MAKING THE

FURNITURE LARGER, PUTTING ME IN

TRENCHES, RAISING THE PAINTINGS

UP, EVERYTHING.

IT WAS REALLY FUN.

>> I'VE GOT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR

RELATIONSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP

WITH RICHARD.

YOU WORKED TOGETHER MANY, MANY

TIMES.

WHAT DOES THAT PARTNERSHIP BRING

TO WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO PRESENT?

>> WELL, WHEN YOU HAVE A GREAT

FRIEND IN YOUR LIFE, AND I THINK

EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, THEY MAKE

YOU BETTER.

THEY ELEVATE YOUR CHARACTER, AND

YOU WANT TO BE THAT KIND OF

FRIEND.

I THINK WE HAVE TRIED TO DO THAT

FOR EACH OTHER.

HE HAS TWO OF THE BEST MOVIES

MADE THIS YEAR THAT ARE

BRILLIANT.

SO WE'VE KNOWN EACH OTHER A LONG

TIME, AND WE'RE GETTING OLDER

AND HE KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

>> SO DO YOU.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT.

>> YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE.

>> NOT AS GOOD AS YOU.

>> THANK YOU, ETHAN.

>> WELL, I'M HERE WITH A BRAND

NEW BACHELORETTE, TAYLOR FRANKIE

PAUL, WHO HAS SOME BIG EXCITING

"BACHELORETTE" NEWS TO ANNOUNCE.

>> TUNE NO TONIGHT FOR A SPECIAL

PREVIEW AFTER THE OSCARS AND

NEXT SUNDAY AT 8:00 P.M. RIGHT

HERE ON ABC.

>> WE'VE GOT NOR RED CARPET

AFTER THIS.

>> THE OSCARS RED CARPET SHOW ON

ABC.

>>> I'M JOINED NOW MY OSCAR

WINNER NICOLE KIDMAN.

YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.

>> THANK YOU.

I'M ALL FEATHERY AND PINK.

>> YOU JUST FLOATED OVER HERE.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

YOU'RE PRESENTING TONIGHT.

>> YES.

>> SPEAKING OF THAT, YOU HAVE A

LOT OF FUN PROJECTS WE'RE ABOUT

TO SEE COMING UP.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT

"PRACTICAL MAGIC" WITH SAND A

BULLOCK.

HOW IS IT WORKING ON THAT?

>> IT WAS FANTASTIC.

WE DID IT OF THE SUMMER AND

SANDY AND I ARE LIKE, ARE WE

REALLY GOING TO DO THIS?

SUDDENLY IT CAME TO FRUITION.

IT WAS LIKE EVERYTHING MAGICAL

HAPPENED, AND WE WERE THERE

FILMING IT OVER THE SUMMER, AND

IT'S COMING OUT SEPTEMBER --

>> IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS SINCE WE

SAW IT LAST TIME, SO EVERYBODY

IS EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

MARGO'S GOT MONEY TROUBLES.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT?

>> THIS IS MY THIRD TIME WORKING

WITH ELLE FANNING, AND IT'S JUST

A DELIGHT.

THE WAY SHE BEHAVES ON AND

OFFSET, SHE'S JUST DIVINE, AND

SHE GLOWS, LIKE SHE LITERALLY

GLOWS.

>> AS YOU DO, TOO.

WE ALL REMEMBER YOU WINNING FOR

YOUR WORK IN "THE HOURS."

JUST SEEING YOU IT JUST FEELS

LIKE THE OSCARS.

>> I'M JUST SO HAPPY TO BE HERE

AND CELEBRATING EVERYONE IN OUR

INDUSTRY, BECAUSE AS MUCH AS WE

TALK ABOUT THE ACTORS AND WHO

WINS BEST DIRECTOR AND BEST

FILM, WE HAVE TO WORK BEHIND THE

SCENES WITH THE PRODUCTION

DESIGNERS, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY,

ALL THE THINGS THAT GO INTO

MAKING A FILM, AND THIS IS WHERE

YOU

YOU NEAT THEM TONIGHT.

>> THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.

>> I'M HERE WITH DEMON HUNTERS.

CONGRATULATIONS.

YOU'RE PERFORMING TONIGHT.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?

>> GREAT THINGS, SOMETHING

GOLDEN.

>> JUST A LOT OF ASIAN FACES,

YEAH.

>> A LOT OF FANS OF K-POP.

HOW DO YOU THINK THIS SONG IN

THE MOVIE CHANGED THE PERCEPTION

OF K-POP AROUND THE WORLD?

>> I THINK THIS MOVIE HAS

TRULY -- I FEEL LIKE PEOPLE

JUST -- IT'S GLOBAL AND

UNIVERSAL.

A COMBINATION OF SO MANY GENRES,

SO I THINK PEOPLE ARE

RECOGNIZING HOW FAR K-POP CAN

REACH, IT'S NOT JUST FOR

KOREANS, BUT THE WORLD.

>> WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE

WATCHING THE SONG ON THE CHARTS

FOR SO LONG AND RECEIVE THING

LOVE?

I'M WITH MY NIECES, I'M AT WORK,

I CAN'T GET THE SONG OUT OF MY

HEAD, BUT IT'S LOVE BEHIND THE

LYRICS.

>> IT'S BEEN SUCH A JOYFUL

EXPERIENCE.

FOR US, THIS IS A PART OF OUR

STORY, NOT JUST AS MUSICIANS IN

THIS INDUSTRY, BUT AS PEOPLE ON

THIS EARTH, YOU KNOW, FEELING

SOMETIMES LEFT OUT OF CERTAIN

CONVERSATIONS, SOMETIMES OUTCAST

IN CERTAIN ROOMS.

I THINK TO SEE THE SONG, NOT

JUST DO WELL, BUT LIKE REALLY

BREAK RECORDS HAS BEEN SO

REDEMPTIVE AND HEALING FOR OUR

INNER CHILD.

SO WE'RE JUST GRATEFUL.

>> I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THE SONG

IS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SESSION OF

THERAPY FOR ALL OF US.

AND I CANNOT SAY ANOTHER THING

UNTIL I ACKNOWLEDGE THE BEAUTY

IN FRONT OF ME.

TRULY GOLDEN.

GOOD LUCK ON THE PERFORMANCE,

AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME THE

MOST POPULAR PERSON IN THE

UNIVERSE.

THANK YOU, LADIES.

TALENTED PEOPLE YOU'RE SEAL HERE

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> YOU SHOULD BE EXCITED,

BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE YOU AN

AMAZING ACTRESS, BUT AN

INCREDIBLE SINGER, VERY

ACCOMPLISHED SONGWRITER.

>> THANK YOU.

>> HOW DID YOU DRAW UPON THE

EXPERIENCE AS A SINGER TO GET

READY FOR THIS ROLE?

>> YOU KNOW WHAT WAS REALLY NICE

ABOUT THIS IS THE FIRST THING WE

DID IS WE WENT INTO THE

RECORDING STUDIO, AND IT WAS THE

FIRST TIME I FELT MUCH MORE

CONFIDENT IN A RECORDING STUDIO

THAN I WOULD HAVE HAD IF I WOULD

HAVE DONE IT TEN YEARS EARLIER.

I THINK THE VERY REASON THAT I

MADE THE ALBUM IS BECAUSE I

NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING, AND

THAT'S WHY I ENDED UP GET THING

MOVIE.

HUGH SAW ME MAKING THIS ALBUM

AND HE WAS LIKE, THAT'S ART

CLAIRE AND I WOULDN'T BE HERE

WITHOUT THAT.

>> THE PERFORMANCE WAS JUST

INCREDIBLE.

YOU'VE BEEN NOMINATED ONCE

BEFORE.

HOW DIFFERENT DOES IT FEEL NOW?

>> SO DIFFERENT, IT'S SO

DIFFERENT.

>> HOW SO?

>> THERE'S A LOT MORE TO DO.

YOU KNOW, THAT WAS ALMOST THE

'90s WHEN I WAS NOMINATED.

NOT AS MANY THINGS, AND NOW I'VE

HAD LIKE TWO DECADES OF A CAREER

WITH PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS

THAT I'VE ESTABLISHED.

PEOPLE THAT I LOVE THAT ARE HERE

TONIGHT THAT I GET TO CELEBRATE

AS WELL, AND SO IT JUST FEELS

LIKE -- IT FEELS A LOT WARMER, A

LOT COZIER, I THINK THAN IT DID

THE FIRST TIME.
