00:00 - These people with the phones, they like you.
00:02 - Hi.
00:03 - How are you feeling?
00:04 - Really good, a little shaky.
00:06 I think it's like a combination of jet lag and excitement.
00:10 Yes.
00:11 Yeah, the first question about excitement,
00:13 I think absolutely put a lot of your heart and soul
00:18 into making a film.
00:20 A lot of people are away from their families
00:22 for months at a time and you bond with this group of people
00:27 and the excitement of it being received or seen
00:31 or loved by people is immensely meaningful
00:36 and you don't know if that's gonna happen or not,
00:39 if it's gonna resonate with people
00:40 the way that it does with you.
00:41 And also to be a producer on this film,
00:44 this was the first film that I produced alongside of acting
00:47 and so it feels like doubly, doubly meaningful
00:51 because I just both in front of and behind,
00:54 it was incredible to be part of it.
00:56 And then what role awards serve,
00:58 I think for a lot of films,
01:01 it brings people into theaters to see it,
01:03 it brings more attention to a film.
01:06 And I think there are a lot of people who deserve awards
01:11 that never get awards,
01:13 which also creates a conversation about why
01:15 and hopefully culture changes more and more
01:19 and expands more and more to include so many people
01:22 in so many ways.
01:23 So awards are an interesting thing,
01:25 but I think they can be incredibly meaningful
01:28 to films that people might not otherwise see.
01:31 Is it chin wag a chat?
01:32 - Yeah.
01:33 (laughing)
01:34 - Do you ever get to have a chat with them
01:36 just like a normal piracy after this?
01:38 - A little bit.
01:39 I've gotten to see a good amount of these people
01:44 at different things throughout the past few weeks.
01:48 So I mean, Bachelors, there's no commercial break,
01:54 there's no time to run to the loo as it were.
01:57 Okay.
01:58 (laughing)
02:00 So you really don't get much time to kind of talk in between
02:03 so I haven't gotten to talk to too many people yet,
02:05 but I did see Killian and we did have a bit of a chin wag.
02:07 - Emma Stone, I'll back her back.
02:08 - Oh, thank you.
02:09 (cheering)
02:10 Thank you guys.
02:10 [APPLAUSE]
