( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELCOME BACK,
EVERYBODY!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY FIRST GUEST HAS ALREADY TAKEN HOME A
GOLDEN GLOBE, A BAFTA AND SAG AWARD, AND IS CURRENTLY OSCAR
NOMINATED FOR HIS ROLE IN "THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING,
MISSOURI."
>> I SAW YOU ON TV THE OTHER DAY.
>> OH, YEAH?
>> YEAH, YOU LOOKED GOOD.
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU CAME ACROSS REALLY GOOD.
THE THINGS THAT YOU WERE SAYING.
>> I DON'T THINK YOU CAME ACROSS REAL GOOD WITH THE THINGS YOU
WERE SAYING.
I THOUGHT YOU CAME ACROSS AS STUPID.
>> DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME TO GO HOME TO MAMA, DIXON.
>> NO, I TOLD HER I WAS GOING TO BE OUT TILL 12, ACTUALLY.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME SAM ROCROCKWELL.
♪ ♪ ♪
>> Stephen: YOU HYDRATE NOW.
>> I GOTTA HYDRATE.
I GOTTA HYDRATE.
>> Stephen: VERY IMPORTANT TO HYDRATE, AS SOON AS YOU HIT THE
SEAT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
ABSOLUTELY.
>> Stephen: I'M GOING TO GRILL YOU.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE GOLDEN GLOBE, THE BAFTA, AND SAG
AWARDS.
>> THANKS.
>> Stephen: THAT MUST BE VERY HEADY.
>> IT IS HEADY.
IT'S GOOD.
IT'S CHANGED MY SOCK GAME.
IT'S REALLY YOU KNOW -- >> Stephen: WHAT!
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOLD ON.
>> YEAH, MAN.
>> Stephen: THAT'S 16 BIT.
YOU'RE NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR.
IS THIS YOUR FIRST OSCAR NOMINATION?
>> THIS IS MY FIRST, YEAH, VERY EXCITING.
( APPLAUSE ) THANK YOU!
I HAVE TO HYDRATE.
HYDRATE AFTER THAT.
>> Stephen: DEFINITELY.
SO HOW DID YOU FIND OUT?
IS IT, LIKE-- WHO-- DID THEY CALL YOU YOURSELVES?
DO YOU HAVE TO WATCH TV?
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
>> I GOT WOKEN UP FOR THE GOLDEN GLOBES.
WE SLEPT THROUGH-- I SLEPT IN AND MY GIRLFRIEND KIND OF
CREEPED UP TO ME AND JUST WHISPERED IN MY EAR IN A VERY
SEXY WAY, "YOU JUST GOT NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR."
IT WAS A VERY NICE WAY TO FIND OUT, VERY ROMANTIC.
>> Stephen: PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY WHO SAID THAT TO ME
WOULD SEEM SEXY.
>> THAT'S TRUE.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE NOMINATED BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, UP
AGAINST YOUR COSUPPORTING ACTOR, WOODY HARLS SON.
>> IS THERE ANY TENSION THERE?
>> I'M GOING TO TAKE HIM OUT.
>> Stephen: HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT "CHEERS."
SHE SHOULD NEVER HAVE LEFT "CHEERS."
>> YEAH, HE'S A REAL DICK.
HE'S A GREAT GUY, OBVIOUSLY.
YOU KNOW HIM.
>> Stephen: I SHAVED HIS HEAD.
>> DID YOU SHAVE HIS HEAD?
>> Stephen: I SHAVED HIS HEAD ONCE, YEAH.
WE SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM TOGETHER ON THE OLD GIG AND I
SHAVED HIS HEAD WHILE WE SANG THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN HARMONY.
>> THAT'S AMAZING.
HE LET ME THROW CHEETOS AT HIS HEAD IN "SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS."
HE'S A VERY GENEROUS ACTOR, VERY GENEROUS.
>> Stephen: "THREE BILL BOARDS" FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T
SEEN IT, IT'S THE STORY OF A MOTHER WHO IS CRUSHED AND
ENRAGED BY THE RAPE AND MURDER OF HER DAUGHTER, WHO RENT THREE
BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI.
>> TO STIR UP THE COPS.
>> Stephen: BASICALLY TO SAY, YHAVEN'T YOU FOUND IT?"
AND YOU PLAY A RACIST COP IN THAT TOWN.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND VIOLENT.
AND YET, IT'S AN UPLIFTING MOVIE.
HOW DO YOU-- AND FUNNY.
>> IF YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT.
>> Stephen: IT'S BOTH FUNNY AND UPLIFTING.
HOW-- HOW?
YOU KNOW, MARTIN McDONOUGH IS KIND OF A GENIUS.
HE DEALS WITH A LOT OF HEAVY THEMES AND STILL MANAGES.
I THINK THE MAGIC IS HE CRACKS JOKES RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE HAVING A
HEAVY MOMENT SO YOU'RE ABLE TO DIGEST THE SORT OF POTENCY OF
THESE MOMENTS.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT GIVES THE AUDIENCE MAYBE A BREAK SO
THEY CAN DIGEST THIS STUFF.
>> Stephen: I'VE OFTEN SAID THE JOKES ARE THE SORBET OF
DRAMA.
>> THAT'S VERY WELL PUT.
>> Stephen: IT'S A PALETTE CLEANSER.
IT'S A PALETTE CLEANSER.
>> THAT'S VERY WELL PUT.
>> Stephen: IT'S ALSO AN INTERESTING MOVIE IN TERMS OF
ITS STRUCTURE.
YOUR PERFORMANCES, ALL THE CAST PERFORMANCES ACTUALLY HOLD
TOGETHER A STORY THAT GOES ALL OVER THE PLACE AT TIMES.
YOU DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHO THE ANTAGONIST IS.
WHO IS SHE FIGHTING AGAINST?
>> THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.
IT'S DEALING WITH ANTIHEROES, WHICH IS KIND OF RARE THESE GAYS
DAZE.
BUT, YEAH, IT IS-- IT'S A GREAT, COMPLICATED MOVIE.
AND THAT'S WHY I LOVE TYEAH.
>> Stephen: THERE'S-- I WON'T GET INTO THE END OF THE MOVIE,
WHICH FINDS YOU AND FRANCES McDORMAND ON A-- MAKING A BIT
OF A PACT TOGETHER.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: BUT THAT-- THAT MOMENT, THAT END OF THE MOVIE,
HAS CAUSED SOME CONTROVERSY BECAUSE YOU PLAY A VIRULENTLY
RACIST CHARACTER.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: WHO IS PROVIDED A MOMENT-- SOME SEE AS REDEMPTION
FOR THIS HATEFUL CHARACTER-- HATEFUL AND IGNORANT CHARACTER.
WHAT DO YOU-- WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THE IDEA THAT, THAT SHOULDN'T BE
PROVIDED FOR THIS CHARACTER?
>> I DON'T THINK THEY ARE REDREAMED, REALLY.
I THINK MILDRED AND DIXON HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
MAYBE A LOT OF THERAPY IS AHEAD FOR THEM.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> SO I DON'T REALLY SEE THEM AS BEING COMPLETELY REDEEMED AT THE
END OF THE MOVIE.
>> Stephen: THE THING THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO DO IS NOT--
>> IS NOT GOOD.
>> Stephen: IS NOT GOOD, RIGHT.
>> I THINK THEY HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M ATTRACTED TO-- TO THOSE KIND OF
CHARACTERS.
I MEAN I PLAYED JUDAS.
>> Stephen: FATHER JIM MARTIN.
YOU PLAYED JUDAS.
>> IN A PLAY THAT PHIL HOFFMAN DIRECTED, THE LATE, GREAT PHIL
HOFFMAN.
AND JIM HELPED-- SORT OF SPOON-FED ME A NEW TESTAMENT
TUTORIAL.
I NEVER WENT TO CHURCH AND I NEVER, YOU KNOW, WAS RELIGIOUS.
SO THAT WAS REALLY EDUCATIONAL.
>> Stephen: JUDAS IS NOT REDEEMED.
>> HE'S NOT REDEEMED.
>> Stephen: NO.
>> HE'S NOT REDEEMED.
>> Stephen: HE'S NOT FORGIVEN AT THE END.
I BELIEVE DANTE PUTS HIM IN SATAN'S MOUTH BEING CHEWED
FOREVER.
>> YES, YES, YES, I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: SO...
>> NO, I THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
>> Stephen: TOUGH GIG.
>> TOUGH GIG.
>> Stephen: TOUGH GIG.
SO YOU GUYS WERE SHOOTING THIS IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF
THE WORLD-- >> ASHEVILLE.
>> Stephen: ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.
>> THE BEER MECCA.
GREAT TOWN.
>> Stephen: IT SEEMS LIKE A FUN GROUP OF PEOPLE TO BE GOING
OUT WITH.
BEAUTIFUL WOODS UP THERE, BEAUTIFUL CAMPS.
>> BEAUTIFUL.
I HAD TO GAIN A LITTLE BIT OF WEIGHT.
I HAD SOME PADDING IN MY PANTS, SO I DRANK A LITTLE BEER.
>> >> Stephen: PADDING.
>> SOME "PADDING."
>> Stephen: I'VE GOT SOME PADDING, TOO, IN MY PANTS.
>> IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
IT WAS A LOT OF FUN.
IT WAS WOODY, PETER DINKLEDGE.
WE TOURED THE BREWERY.
>> Stephen: THAT MUST HAVE BEEN A FUN GROUP.
>> IT WAS.
>> Stephen: SEE THE THREE OF YOU ROLL INTO A BAR.
>> PETER DINGRIDGE IS LIKE OBAMA.
HE'S A FAMOUS GUY, VERY, VERY FAMOUS.
TAKING HIM AROUND THE BREWERY-- "GAME OF THRONES."
>> Stephen: MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU AND WOODY?
>> HE'S PRETTY FAMOUS.
WOODY IS PRETTY FAMOUS.
>> Stephen: AND NOW YOU'RE AN OSCAR NOMINEE.
>> THERE YOU GO.
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
>> Stephen: WILL PEOPLE BE SAYING, TERRIAN!
HOUSE LANNISTER!
>> THEY WERE ALL OVER PETER.
THEY WERE REALLY INTO IT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, SO NOW, YOU'RE-- YOU'RE-- YOU'RE, YOU
KNOW, KING (BLEEP) OF THE MOUNTAIN, BUT WHEN YOU WERE A
YOUNGER ACTOR, I TRIED TO BE AN ACTOR WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
I AUDITIONED FOR "21 JUMP STREET," THE ORIGINAL.
IT WAS LIKE ME OR JOHNNY DEPP, I THINK, FOR THE PART.
DID YOU HAVE ANY ROLES.
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: ONES THAT GOT AWAY.
>> "DEAD POET'S SOCIETY."
"E.R.."
>> Stephen: WHO IN "E.R."
WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN BEEN?
>> THE NOAH REILLY PART.
I CAME IN A LAB COAT WITH A NEEDLE --
>> Stephen: YOU CAME TO THE AUDITION IN A LAB COAT?
>> THEY THOUGHT I WAS NUTS.
>> Stephen: WAS ANYBODY ELSE IN THAT OUTFIT?
>> THEY PROBABLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GIVE THEM A COFFEE
ENEMA.
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE COFFEE.
I LOOKED PRETTY NUTS TO THEM, PROBABLY.
>> Stephen: WE GOTTA GO HERE IN JUST A SECOND, BUT I WANTED
TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS ONE THING I'VE SEEN THAT I THINK IS SO
COOL.
PEOPLE STARTED USING "THE THREE BILLBOARDS" AS THEIR OWN WAY OF
ADVOCATING.
>> IT'S REALLY INCREDIBLE.
>> Stephen: THIS IS WHAT STIENTS IN FLORIDA HAVE NOW
DONE.
THREE BILLBOARD TRUCKS.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ASKING WHY THERE'S NO GUN
CONTROL.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> IT'S REALLY BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S A REALLY BEAUTIFUL THING.
YEAH, IT'S BEEN GOING ON ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
IT'S REALLY EXCITING.
>> Stephen: WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANKS.
>> Stephen: IT'S A BEAUTIFUL MOVIE.
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
>> THANKS, MAN.
>> Stephen: I'D LOVE TO GO DRINKING WITH YOU IN ASHEVILLE.
>> LET'S DO IT.
>> Stephen: "THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI" IS
IN THEATERS NOW.
SAM ROCKWELL EVERYBODY.
