The category is cool.
I mean, Meryl, you know.
Have you heard of her?
She’s...
What's her surname?
Streep.
Street?
Streep. With a ‘P’.
She’s in a few things. She’s pretty good!
I feel so lucky that, like, we've found each other.
And, you know, it also means that, like,
I’ll get jobs from her.
Hi!
How are you?
I’m good! How are you?
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you too.
You ook beautiful, Saoirse. Thank you.
Thank you! So do you.
It's freezing cold here!
Come on. We've got Celtic blood in us.
We should be okay on this freezing night.
The last time I saw you
was at the London premiere and it was freezing then as well!
I think it's you.
It's me.
I bring the cold.
And how is this experience for you? Do enjoy this kind of thing?
It's a fun night. Is it?
Yeah, it is. It's fun.
I don't think these things can be taken too seriously.
To be honest, award shows for me aren't necessarily about awards,
although
of course it's great to win them, but it's about celebrating film.
And I'm excited about that.
And I'm excited about the films that have
come out over the past year and a half.
Yeah.
And of course, The Lovely Bones is one that’s very special to me
and yeah, it's great.
And your second nomination,
It's brilliant. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Yeah, the category is cool.
I mean, Meryl, you know, have you heard of her?
What’s her surname?
Streep or...
Street?
Streep, with a ‘P’.
She’s been in a few things. She’s pretty good!
I spoke to your colleague earlier, Mr. Tucci.
He’s great, isn’t he!?
He's so great.
How could you be scared of someone so nice in the film?
Well, that’s...
I wasn't actually scared of Mr. Harvey.
I was scared of how good Stanley was at it.
Yeah, I think it's just amazing how he's able to transform himself
when the cameras start to roll into this monstrous man,
which he most certainly is not.
But I was very comfortable with Stanley, so it was all good.
As a film fan Saoirse is there something
or someone that you really want to see win tonight?
I mean I don’t know all of the nominees and I... I dunno.
I think it would be really nice and I genuinely mean this for
for Carey Mulligan
to win for Best Actress because I was at the IFTAs last night,
which is the Irish version of the BAFTAs and I won for Best Actress.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
And it was the most wonderful feeling
because you're being voted for by Irish filmmakers.
And for her it will be the Brits.
And it's just a great feeling to have,
especially for someone new, you know. So...
You know that moment where they play out the little clip of you
and they go “the nominees are... Saoirse Ronan”.
Have you kind of
have you practiced the look that you have to do
when the camera comes on you with that weight?
It's kind of, It's very neutral.
It's like, “oh, sorry! It's my category is it?”
Listen, good luck tonight and have a great night as well.
It's nice to see you.
Thank you. Lovely to see you again.
Take care. Yeah.
Bye bye. Bye.
See ya!
Little Women.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
Everything about this film I love, including your entire wardrobe in it.
Which I want!
Which would look amazing on you.
That's very kind of you to say so.
But there's something really special about you and Greta
when you work together that it's, it's there's a synergy there.
There's just something feels and looks so natural to watch.
Do you feel that as a, you know, when --
Yeah, I just I feel so lucky that like we've found each other.
And, you know, it also means that like I’ll
get jobs from her so...
But I said to her recently,
I was like, well, what happens when you do your next job?
And like, I can't be in the next one?
I don't know what I'm going to do when she's going to her next movie --
That’s going to be awkward!
-- and I'm not I'm not, in it. I’m gonna be really jealous.
Barbie!
I could -- You could --
easily be... I could be like the weird...
I could be like gawky Barbie.
Irish Barbie.
Yeah. Irish Barbie. Exactly. Yeah.
And not a knock off Barbie.
Barbie for a discount price.
And yeah, she's just she's so special.
And you know, I think as we've said to you before,
it kind of goes beyond words when we work with each other.
It's sort of this understanding that we have about for us
what seems to be good and what we want to aim towards.
So that is really amazing to have that relationship with someone
you work with.
Is this your fifth nomination for a BAFTA?
I don’t know now.
She’s lost count!
I didn’t say it!
Someone asked me that the other day and they were like
“uh, typical”.
No, it must be the fourth.
Wouldn't it be?
I mean, what --
The Oscars is the fourth.
Oh, OK.
I don’t know, you’re here every year! Are you not keeping count?
Know, keeping count.
If you just stay in this spot, you're here every year!
Tick!
And what is next?
So I don't know.
I did I did Ammonite last year, which is the thing with Kate Winslet,
With Lee Francis?
Francis Lee, yeah.
And I think that'll be out at some stage this year
probably in the autumn I would say I am.
And apart from that I haven't done anything else.
I have French Dispatch which I'm in for like a second
and that’s Wes Anderson’s new film.
When are you going to direct?
I'll try and do something soon.
This year.
Wicked!
I don't know!
OK stop!
Good luck tonight.
Thanks!
It's so great.
I mean, I just speaking to Alexandra as well about the score as well.
I love the film.
I wish she'd been nominated for director.
I think she so deserved it.
But I look forward to see what's next for you on time.
Yes. Yes.
Thank you.
