Jamie Lee Curtis, it is an absolute pleasure to meet you!
Thank you so much. Happy to be here.
It’s so lovely to be celebrating film all together tonight.
I know.
How are you feeling?
And you guys haven't for a couple of years, right?
Yeah, because of the COVID.
Taken a while around the world.
Yeah, around the world, Yes.
People are gathering together again
to talk about movies and the ideas that movies bring.
It's very important.
It is.
And of course, we're nominated this evening for Best Supporting Actress.
I know, what’s with that?
I’ll tell you what’s with that, that film was everything everywhere.
All at once.
It's the film that the majority of the times that anyone asked me
for a recommendation, that's the one I want them to see this year.
You know what?
It was a movie for sure that touched the world at a time we had been isolated.
We had been very separate, and as we came out, it really explored
families,
dysfunction, failure, reunification, love and kindness.
And it just felt like the world needed it.
Yeah, the charm of it was something we all needed.
Yeah, it left me feeling so full. Yeah.
So whole. Beautiful. Yeah.
I saw your reaction to Michelle Yeoh winning her award at a previous event.
And that was again, that made me feel so full.
It made me feel so, my heart was warmed.
Did you know that Michelle Yeoh, right before
that award was called, was squeezing my hand.
I said, ‘Why are you so nervous?’ She said she had never been
nominated for anything in her life before,
before that moment, that's extraordinary to me.
And that's the moment that had to then happen right then. Yes.
And then it was just the thrilling moment for her.
And so will we have a repeat of that sentiment and that camaraderie tonight?
You know what? Here's what's been so beautiful,
because I'm now
nominated for a BAFTA and an Oscar.
I've had a chance to meet
a lot of different performers in the category I'm in, for instance.
And the beautiful thing is we've all become very human with each other.
So Kerry Condon and Hong Chau,
like these are women now that I now
I know them, I feel like we're friends.
And so the competition is gone.
As far as I know, so many of the women for Best Actress
are friends of mine that at this point it's the celebration of the work.
It's the fun of getting together
in beautiful gowns and doing our thing.
You know what I mean? Like the competition part.
It doesn't matter!
It isn't that, it isn't.
The win is being here.
Yeah it definitely feels like that, I get a real sense.
It's like it's fizzing in the air tonight.
Yeah, that community.
And by the way, movies are community.
We go to movies as a community, we go in groups and we react to things together.
And that's the beauty of going to the cinema.
It's been that way since the beginning and it will always be,
I think, the return of the cinema, the group experience
with Everything Everywhere All At Once, is particularly sweet.
And it definitely is as we speak about community.
Can I introduce my friend, my co-host for the night?
I'm such a big fan Jamie, I want to shake you by the hands.
Thank you so much.
You know, I knew I'd see one.
I didn't know it would be the first step in my journey tonight.
I am a total ham and a hand.
Okay, so then if you're going to really do it, you have to, like, go, Hi, J.
How does feel Ali?
You’ve been waiting your life for this Yeah you have to do that
and you have to pick my nose.
Oh do I? Hang on.
You have to do it all.
That's worthy of a BAFTA, I think.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh. Well, if that’s what gets you a BAFTA,
I'm aces.
It's always a pleasure to see you. Congratulations on the nomination!
Isn’t it wonderful?
I’m a big fan and I am entirely unprofessional about it.
I think you're the best.
You're sweet.
Oh, I mean, you're up from here.
I was in America last week.
We only do one side in America.
We're very one sided.
I'm going go fan myself and get out of the shot.
Jamie.
Well, here, fan yourself there you go, I know how to work these.
She’s brilliant, she’s brilliant.
Jamie it’s been an absolute pleasure Thank you so much, everybody.
