00:00 How does it feel for Poor Things to receive all these nominations here tonight?
00:03 So cool! I mean everyone from Costume Design, Yorgos, Emma, Willem, it's really, it's so nice.
00:09 Mark, yeah.
00:11 Emma has said that you guys played theater games during the rehearsal process
00:15 and you guys really got to know each other well through that process.
00:19 What was that process like for you?
00:20 It was like nothing I'd ever done before. I do TV, move really fast.
00:26 Not just on my show, I got to work on The Bear, which got nominated this year, which is really exciting.
00:31 We're always going so quick, so to have three weeks to get to play, find physicality, find our voices, find our accents, all of that.
00:38 I think it's why the movie is so special. Yorgos takes so much time.
00:42 What do you think makes Yorgos such a special director?
00:45 I think it's just because he's Greek.
00:49 Fair enough. I think that's all I got.
00:52 I mean, the Greeks. Yeah, he did it.
00:55 And for you directing The Bear, what was it like working on that show?
00:58 Oh, it was amazing. It's such a great cast.
01:00 Lionel is a dream. I got to work with Will Poulter.
01:04 They're just guys you give them a little bit of direction and they just surprise you.
01:07 It's hard to take credit for it when everyone's so good already.
01:10 Now, this is the party that kicks off awards season.
01:13 Which crew do you think might party harder tonight, the Poor Things crew or The Bear crew?
01:17 Oh, I'm going to say the Poor Things crew because we've got Willem Dafoe.
01:22 You know, I'll jump between crews.
01:24 If either ensemble wins, I'll run out.
01:28 You know, I'll run out onto The Bear one. I'll do it.
01:31 You're ready to move, get in action. I'm ready.
01:34 So you said Willem, is he a party guy?
01:37 No, he's just so fun.
01:39 I mean, he's party in the sense that he just makes everyone feel so alive.
01:44 You know, his passion, not just for acting, but just for genuinely connecting with people.
01:48 It's really nice. And for you after the show is over tonight,
01:51 what's the first thing you're going to do? Head home or go to an after party?
01:56 Probably get some food and head home.
01:59 Where do you stop? Is it like an in and out stop? What's the vibe?
02:03 Well, it depends on how well they feed us in here.
02:05 So that'll be the range. You know, Golden Globe sushi could be nice
02:12 or it could be something you hear about in the news. We'll figure it out tonight.
02:17 It might be the kind of thing where you're like, oh, I need a, you know,
02:19 a cheeseburger or something after. Or a doctor.
