Our first guest is an Academy Award nominated actress
who just won her first Golden Globe for her role
in the movie, I Care a Lot, which is fantastic.
Please welcome Rosamund Pike.
Hi.
Hi, Ellen.
Hi, Rosamund.
How are you?
Nice to see you.
I'm well, still well.
How are you?
Good.
Well you look great.
Where are you right now?
I'm in Prague, in the Czech Republic where I've been--
And what time is it?
--making a television series.
It's about-- it's coming up to midnight.
It's 11 something PM.
Well, thank you for staying up for me or--
do you usually go to bed early, or what time you usually
go to bed?
I'm staying up for you, Ellen.
Oh.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
And you're fantastic in the movie.
Congratulations on the golden globe win.
Congratulations on that.
Thank you.
That was a surprise.
Yes!
There you go.
It was a surprise.
Well, why was it a surprise?
You had a chance of winning.
You were nominated.
Why was it such a surprise?
True, true.
I had a one in five chance, I suppose.
Well, actually because my family, we tend to kind of look
to the bookies.
I know that you like to go to the Mirage
and you have to go out of state to gamble.
I understand that.
But in England, there, are bookies on every corner
and the odds were not in my favor.
I mean Maria Bakalova was the favorite,
and I tend to kind of trust the bookie's judgment.
I mean, you wouldn't have won big if you had bet on me,
or maybe you would.
You would have won more if you had bet on me.
[INAUDIBLE] But they didn't think you had a chance so.
Wow.
Well, Maria was fantastic, but so are you.
And the movie is fantastic.
It was the middle of the night for you when you won so--
right?
You were still there in Prague?
Yes I think it was 3:30 AM when I won.
I was in a ghostly hotel where I checked in,
because I rented the room so that I
would be away from my children in the morning.
Yes you see that?
And they said when I checked in--
I said, how many guests do you have,
and they said you are the only one.
Oh my God.
That would be so scary though, to be the only one.
Why would nobody be in a hotel?
I mean, it was completely empty?
Because you can't be in a hotel here for pleasure,
only for business.
So I wouldn't be allowed to check in for a romantic night,
but I would be allowed to check in to potentially win a Golden
Globe.
So that's where we were.
Interesting, well that's what we all have to say when we go to--
--which is business, not pleasure, you see.
Whereas if I argued that there was a pleasure element, then
I wouldn't have been allowed to have the room.
Exactly.
But, had you lost, then it wouldn't
have been pleasure at all so--
No, it would have been purely business and--
Right--
--and, in fact, they could have really, once I won,
maybe I was supposed to leave, because the pleasure kicked
in and it would have been--
Did you stay and celebrate by yourself?
I did.
I slept by way of celebration.
And the next day, I went home and my sons,
who knew I hadn't yet received an award,
had drawn me some very lovely pictures
of it, which is almost better than the real thing, I think.
Ah, that's sweet.
Can I ask you about burying your awards in your garden?
Is that a true thing or is that a rumor?
That is a true thing, but look, I've crossed my arms, you see.
It's probably some deeply psychological--
if you've got any psychiatrists or therapists in your audience,
maybe they'll say that it's, sort of, probably
some deep-lying imposter syndrome.
Yes, I just find it an uneasy thing
to display any award in your home,
because what do people suppose-- how are people--
how do people interact with them when they come home?
Do they say, oh wow, look, those are your awards?
I think it's awkward.
So I bury them in the garden with a little bit showing up,
so you could have an enticing glimpse of a hand or maybe
a crown--
I can't really think what they have now.
A crown, or the globe maybe.
And I think it's amusing, because in the future when I'm
dead and gone, or when somebody else buys the house,
they will be sort of landscaping,
and they'll find-- they'll hit metal
and they'll think they found buried treasure.
And they will have, in fact, found a host of awards.
And they'll think, what is all this about.
They won't even know what--
They're probably centuries ahead and they won't even
have them anymore.
So, they will be relics.
Wow.
I think that's so interesting that you bury--
it's wonderful that you don't like want to show them
off and display them.
But there's other-- like I don't bring my own home.
Mine all here at the studio, at the office but--
Yeah, if you have an office, it's different, I think.
Yeah.
But I just think it's weird that you're burying your--
but totally fine.
We're going to take a break, and then we
are going to talk about I Care a Lot, and you.
And I'll find a therapist in the audience.
We'll be back.
OK.
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel
so you can see more awesome videos, like videos
of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,
like ball-peen hammer, and also some videos of Ellen
and other celebrities.
If you're into that sort of thing.
