Julianne Moore BAFTA 2015 Winners Interview

Julianne Moore took home the BAFTA for best actress in a leading role for her astonishing portrayal of a language professor diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s in Still Alice. Here’s a full transcript of what she had to say during an emotional winners press conference shortly actor picking up her richly deserved award

How does it feel to be a BAFTA winner?

It’s fantastic and completely surprising. I thought that my pitch kept going up during my acceptance speech because I was so nervous.

Did you have a speech prepared?

Not really, I mean I did want to mention my mother and my great aunts because they’re all from Scotland and that was important for me.

The story of this film and the directors personal relationship is an amazing one isn’t it?

I mean I think it’s very interesting. Wash Westmoreland and Richard Glatzer have been together for 20 years as professional and personal partners. Shortly before I met them he was diagnosed with ALS. So by the time we shot he’d essentially lost function on the upper half of his body and was communicating via IPad. So they were essentially making a movie about what they were facing. It’s about facing a huge change in your life and an imminent loss of it. WE all know that’s going to happen but for them it brought a sense of urgency to the movie, but also a real celebration of who we love and what we want to do. When Richard was diagnosed they talked about it and he said what he wanted to do was make movies, that was valuable for him.

Did that bring an extra sense of responsibility?

I think so. I think we were tackling something that a lot of people are dealing with. I think we all wanted to do the subject matter justice. The great thing has been the response of the Alzheimers community who say they feel seen and represented.

How does it feel to have that work recognised by the academy?

I have to say it was completely unexpected. I think at the end of the day the work is its own reward, that’s why we do it, but for people to bother, for your peers to bother to write your name down or tick a box. For them to go out of their way to vote for you is very special.

What does the response of the Alzheimers community mean to you?

I’ll say that when I came here I went to the Curzon cinema the other day for a screening. I went into the lobby there and I met these three individuals who were all dealing with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. They were all so articulate and eloquent about what their experience has been. They were so enthusiastic about the film and it was great. It was great to meet people one on one and have them say yes that happened to me or I understand that and it’s great to finally see it in a movie. I think people feel marginalized, ashamed and isolated. They feel like they’re not seen and there’s still so much that’s not know about Alzheimer’s. I’m an actor and films are an entertainment, but it’s also a place where we value who we are and what we love in our life.

Were you pleased with the other winners tonight?

I think it’s great and I’m so happy to share this with Eddie Redmayne who I worked with many years ago in Savage Grace. He’s someone who came in and he’s spoken about me fighting for him. I was really just doing myself a favour not him. He came in and he was the best one. It’s wonderful to see him acknowledged in this way.

You know the thing about recognising talent in people is that you just kind of know that it’s there. I mean I look at Eddie and I’m not surprised at the trajectory of his career. I look at Kristen Stewart and I’m not surprised. My husband cast her in a move when she was 12 years old and it was pretty evident. He would come home and say this girl is going to be a star because she’s amazing. And she is! So it’s funny how you see that. Sometimes it’s as if actors are fully born and that’s just how Eddie was.

How much fun is awards season?

It’s pretty fun it’s like every weekend you’re going to your own wedding again. It’s like it’s me I’m the bride! You put on a dress and have your hair and makeup done. That element is fun but also odd.

Is it true your daughter made you a BAFTA?

It is. I have a beautiful clay orange BAFTA. It’s smaller than the real one but there is a whole face and stuff. The last time I was here I was nominated for A Single Man and when I came home my daughter was so disappointed for me she made me one in art class. So she’ll be happy to see this. And my son’s girlfriend who lived in London or a while said when I went to the party to make sure to bring home a chocolate BAFTA. Evidently they have chocolate ones at the party.

How do you feel about your fellow nominees?

These performances are extraordinary. Ladies like Reese, Felicity and Rosamund I admire all of them so much. We spend a lot of time together because we’re going to all the same parties. Once again we’re always the brides. So yeah I’ve spoken to every single one of them about their performances and it’s a really lovely and generous bunch of women I must say.

Eddie Redmayne BAFTA 2015 Winners Interview

Eddie Redmayne took home the BAFTA for best actor in a leading role for his astonishing turn as Professor Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. The Biopic picked up a number of awards on the night with Redmayne taking another major trophy on a likely run to an academy award. Here’s a full transcript of what he had to say during an emotional winners press conference shortly actor picking up his statue.

On stage tonight you thanked your co-stars, the Hawking family and your own. How did they all help inspire and facilitate your performance?

Felicity is an old friend and we both started at the Donmar Warehouse years ago, on this experience we knew that the story was extraordinary. Stephen & Jane were phenomenal people. We challenged each other basically and we sort of raised each other’s game by pushing each other really. We knew they were roles of a lifetime really. As far as Stephen, Jane and their family I just can’t tell you how kind they were to us. I mean it’s a scary thing to have your life put out in the world as a film. I’m one of those people who when I see a film I believe it to be absolutely true, so trusting people to take your life knowing things will shift and change in the process shouldn’t be taken lightly I suppose. They have been just so kind. Then to my own family, it’s just so interesting. It’s weird and wondrous trade acting, but its ups and downs. You go through moments of doubt but it doesn’t retain a level feeling. As I said in my acceptance speech my roots are my rock and that’s my siblings, my parents and my wife. So it’s just amazing.

How do you feel about the attention given to your public school background and the issue of diversity?

I think there absolutely has to be and always needs to be a debate about where actors are coming from. Diversity needs to be represented. Our job as actors is to tell stories and everyone should be represented. As far as the public school thing is concerned, I’ve had a sensational upbringing and I also had a brilliant teacher that was one man who was the reason why I became an actor and got my first jobs. So I suppose I tend to attribute it to a teacher rather than an entire school.

As an award winner do you feel more pressure now?

To be honest I feel… we dream of getting to play extraordinary or interesting people and they rarely come as extraordinary as Stephen. I’m so aware of how lucky I was for that. Do I feel pressure, not really, I just try and put one foot in front of another. I’m starting ork in a few days on a new film called The Danish Girl and it’s another extraordinary story about extraordinary people. I feel like every job I’ve evr done as an actor I’ve poured my heart and soul into. Some of them have been great scripts hat end up being awful films. Some are awful scripts that end up being okay. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. There’s a sort of alchemy to filmmaking which you can’t always control. So all I can do is keep pouring everything in and see what comes out the other side.

How are you enjoying married life and how will you celebrate?

Loving married life!!  I did plan for a day off if I won tonight. I’m thrilled now because I can go and have several drinks. Celebrating tonight I think we’re going to a place called Little House with friends form the film to celebrate that it did so very well this evening. It’s so weird when you make a film you’re kind of this small family. Then you don’t see each other for a while then you get to these sorts of occasions or premieres if you’re lucky enough to get together. So my plan I to go make this new film then sit on a beach with my wife. She certainly deserves it and I can get a few more freckles!

What was the most daunting or challenging scene to work on?

I suppose the scene I was most worried about was the scene in which Stephen and Jane part ways. At that point MND had taken quite a severe hold and the physicality was quite extreme, he was very limited in his movements. Yet I knew it was going to be very emotional on him.  So the idea of restraining things because of the confines on what the disease was at that stage, plus te extremity of hat was going on emotionally. That was perhaps the most intimidating.

Does it feel strange to reach such a level of public success?

It does feel very surreal. But at the same point it’s such an ephemeral thing this world, I’ve been working for 14 years and you have moments that are successful and moments that are not. So of course it feels very lovely that people have seen your film and enjoyed what you do. But I don’t think you can take it very seriously because you know it will be gone in a shot.

Is it easy getting back to normal life?

For me at the moment I haven’t worked since the Theory of Everything. It was a very tough shoot and I did take its toll. So then I had 9 months and promoting it has been a lot of running around slightly frenzied. But really that’s the down time and that’s when you get back to normal life. So I hope I can keep doing that. I’m making this new film now but Hannah works and does a proper job so I cook, I make the dinner!

How do you feel about the comparisons with The Imitation Game and Benedict’s peformance?

I mean Ben and I are old old friends and I think he’s a staggering actor and a wonderful human being, what he did in that film is utterly brilliant. I understand why the two films get connected but to me it feels like there’s room for both and it seems like that has been the case.  The Imitation Game has done so sensationally round the world and continues to do breath-taking business. Ben’s got a lot on his plate anyway, he’s having a baby he’s getting married! I know he’s a very happy man.

Who do you think will win the Oscar?

Oh my Gosh I don’t know about that!! But I’m definitely taking this BAFTA home. I have no idea where it’s going to go, but I will let you know!
