Phoebe's here.
Phoebe's here.
Phoebe's here, everybody.
Oh, hello.
We meet again.
Hello.
Oh my god, I just gave you an electric shock.
Yeah, there was like a little bit of electricity.
Because you're looking hot, girl.
Because there's an electric chemistry between us.
Yeah, there is.
We go way back.
We do.
Last year.
My heart's beating really fast right now.
Oh, I think that's just because you're next to me.
That was my next comment.
I was really nervous to meet you.
That's probably what it is.
Hello, Dwayne.
Good to see you.
The Rock Johnson.
How are you?
I'm well.
How are you?
I'm really good.
I am so good.
Can we do Rock, Paper, Scissors?
Yes.
Gord, hello.
Whoa, are you Chicken Shop?
I'm Chicken Shop.
Oh, man.
Formerly known as Amelia.
I love you.
But I go by Chicken Shop.
I really like your stuff, Amelia.
Oh, thank you.
Nice to meet you.
I really like you.
You and Pengus Munch.
Do you know Pengus Munch, too?
Yes, I absolutely do.
Are you guys buds?
Yeah, we filmed an episode together.
You did?
We did a crossover.
Yeah, years ago.
Oh, amazing.
Amelia, hi.
Oh, my God, hi.
How are you?
You look stunning.
I gotta tell you before I came here, I have a couple of friends from my EAO family and we were watching videos of you.
No way!
And they're so good.
Thank you, that is so kind of you.
Rock, paper, scissors.
I won.
Well, no, see, it's supposed to be rock, paper, scissors, go.
Oh, what?
What kind of bullshit is this?
I just think I won.
You just cheated.
Are you feeling happy to be here at the Oscars?
Yeah, I'm really excited.
I realized yesterday when I came for rehearsal, I haven't been here since I was 25.
Uh-huh, like 100 years ago.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Damn, I think my one was the British way.
It is.
Yeah, also, at first I thought that you were just only doing rock, that you just only did rock.
It's usually what I do, but since you cheated...
Queen.
Nice to meet you, baby.
How are you doing?
You look 10 out of 10.
Thank you.
I'm feeling amazing.
Looking amazing.
What are you wearing?
I'm wearing Gucci.
What are you wearing?
I'm wearing Ludovic.
Oh, love.
I was going to ask you what's in your bag, but you're not carrying one.
No bag, girl.
The only thing I have in my bag is my hopes and dreams and the bags up here.
Hello, hello.
I love your dress.
I love your dress.
You've really been killing it with the looks recently.
I'm loving the blue suit.
It really brings out the My blue eyes.
Your hazel eyes.
I've been thinking about you.
You've been thinking about me?
I've been thinking about you.
You look very prim and proper tonight.
Thank you.
I know.
I look like a substitute teacher.
Oh, substitute teacher.
Is that a little librarian thing?
I feel like substitute teachers are always like the worst teachers.
I don't know why I'm talking.
We didn't even go to school.
I was wondering if you could give me some tips for posing on the red carpet.
Look like that statue.
You see the statues everywhere?
You've got to give statues.
Okay.
So you're looking flaming hot tonight.
Thank you.
I like that.
Your song is very motivational.
I can agree.
Diane Warren is motivational.
Yeah, I just met her.
I love your flaming hot outfit.
Thank you.
I'm on brand.
I've never actually had any flaming hot Cheetos.
You should, but I also worry for you.
What, because?
Well, because coming from where you come from.
Sis, come on.
Yeah, I don't really do well with spice.
I'm more like ready salted, Walker's crisps, or I like salt and vinegar.
That's very English.
Yeah, well, I am English, so guilty, yeah.
So, poor things.
Yes.
Loved your British accent.
That means so much.
For me, I think, in particular.
Were you nervous?
Yeah, because I have so many British friends.
They like making fun of me.
I always find, like when I'm in America, like Americans just can't stop themselves from trying to do a British accent.
Like, just unprovoked, they'll be, like, in it.
Absolutely, every day of my life, I've been craving a moment like this just with you.
Sorry, I didn't realize you were British.
No, I am.
I just converted.
People love saying bruv.
I know.
And I just feel like people don't even say that really anymore.
No, there's a bruv epidemic, I would say, especially in Los Angeles.
It's incredibly serious and not enough people are talking about it.
Hello, good to see you again.
So good to see you again.
How have you been?
I've been pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
A lot of people have been overwhelmed or they're surprised that this is actually real.
How does it feel to be here?
Is this your first Oscars?
This is my first Oscars.
And it feels kind of unreal.
It's unreal, but then very real at the same time.
These are real people or it's just extras?
Guys, it's real people here.
And I'm also real.
Hello.
You look gorgeous.
Thank you so much, as do you.
How are you feeling to be here tonight?
Very excited.
15 years ago I told my dad I wanted to take him to the Oscars and tonight I did it.
Is he here?
Yeah, my dad's here.
Oh, that's so nice.
I feel like you're a very positive person.
I try to be, I try to be.
Do you have a go-to karaoke song?
Oh, you know what?
This is embarrassing because I'm not a very good singer, but I do always sing Elvis Presley.
How does it go?
Wise men say only fools rush in.
Sorry, wait.
Cynthia, you can sing a lot better than I. Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't.
Help falling in love with you.
Oh my God, that's so sweet.
Love you.
That was beautiful.
Good to see you again.
It's so good to see you.
How much Ken-ergy is there here tonight on a scale of one to... One to ten?
No, on a scale of one to Ken.
One to Ken.
Yeah.
That's very nice.
It's sensational.
Do you feel like you still got some of the Kennergy inside of you?
I think I was born with the Kennergy.
My mother says that when she gave birth to me, I came out with jazz hands.
So I think I came out with the Kennergy.
Wow, that sounds scary.
Well, and also sounds very gay, which I'm okay with.
I think I always had Kennergy.
I just didn't know it.
And then when I did the movie, I realized that I've been living in a can of Kennergy my whole life.
You know, I know Ryan's performing.
He is.
Which I think is something that the world so desperately needs right now.
I think that we need it.
Right.
This is your 15th?
It's my 15th nomination.
Yeah, 15th nomination.
Is that crazy?
I haven't won yet.
So you've been to the Oscars many times.
Do you have any tips for having the best night possible?
You know what I do?
I take the chocolate Oscars from the after party.
See, that's all you need.
I feel like a chocolate Oscar is maybe even better than a real one.
And I have a lot of them in my freezer.
So you've got a fridge full of chocolate Oscars.
I mean, that sounds like my kind of fridge.
Did you see me eat it?
I fell.
I fell on the carpet.
Oh, what?
No, you didn't.
No, actually, I just fell.
Made a whole moment of it.
I said, wait a second.
I'm not nominated.
I'm not presenting.
I got to fall.
I'm joining a legendary group of women like J-Law who fell on the carpet.
Do you have any tips for any nominees to not fall up the stairs?
Well, yeah, I just don't do that.
You know, I fell the next year, too.
What?
So then it just looked like I 100% faked.
Oh, it was awful.
Why did I just say that?
Now everybody's going to look it back up.
If anything, I think you were meant to do it.
I think it was only right.
God said, boop, you're going to have a character arc after this.
Maybe you were trying to smell the carpet.
I was.
It smells like your feet, which smell amazing.
Oh, thank you so much.
I feel like maybe this carpet could be improved by one thing.
Tequila.
Oh, I was going to say an ice cream truck.
An ice cream van?
Yeah.
Do you think?
Like a tequila ice cream van?
Do you think this carpet could be improved with a kissing booth?
Yeah, would you sit in the booth?
Well, I'm a bit busy now, but maybe I could go in there.
It depends who was in there, really.
Yeah, that's true.
Who would you like to be in there?
Jeremy Allen White?
Bradley Cooper?
Bradley Cooper, yeah.
You know what?
Jeffrey Wright?
Maybe I'll just be there on my own, actually, because maybe I just need some me time.
Do you think that the red carpet is a good place to fall in love?
You totally could.
I know I have a couple friends with me who are looking for love on the red carpet.
Really?
Exactly.
Yeah, I mean, I'm always looking for love.
Okay, well, I'm going to introduce you to my best friend.
He's looking for love, too.
Oh, absolutely.
That sounds great.
Tell me about your preparations for this morning.
We swagged, surfed a little bit.
We took great pictures.
Can you please explain to me what a swag surf is?
Oh, okay.
Can you do this?
And I got this way.
If we were to act together in a film, can we include dancing in it?
So a rom-com musical.
A rom-com musical, yeah.
Got it.
How are your dance moves?
And then at one point you just get lower and lower, but we're not going to do that.
Okay.
I see what you're doing with the shoulders.
Is there like a little bopping that happens as well?
Maybe we will.
And then up to the top again.
I can tell.
People are going to pay money for this.
You gutted that you couldn't do any dancing in Poor Things.
Yeah, I requested to dance.
Then Yorgos said, well, show me how you dance.
It was too good.
He felt it was too elevated for the film, and so it was cut.
Are you excited to perform tonight?
Yeah, I feel good about it.
It's kind of like the last of the, what was I made for, like, journey.
It is.
Which has been a lot, let me tell you, but this is like the most amazing way to end, so I'm excited.
This is the final hundred meters.
It's the sprint.
Are you good at running?
Can you run?
What's the joke if you're being chased by like a bear or something?
You don't have to run that fast, you just have to run faster than your friend.
Yeah, oh what, because then the bear will eat the friend.
Wow, it's really vicious out here.
Are you in the Oppenheimer's group chat?
You're like, are you in Oppenheimer?
Are you actually even in it?
Are you in it?
I'm in it for a little bit, but I am in it.
Are you in the group chat?
Didn't know there was one.
What?
The Oppenheimer's?
Yeah.
All right, well.
Bye!
How are you?
I love you in so many of your films.
Centurions, Incredible, Oppenheimer.
Centurions and Oppenheimer have got something similar about them.
Do you have a favorite film that's been nominated tonight?
We've seen a bunch, and we really liked The Holdovers, and we really liked Past Lives.
We watched Past Lives together.
Yes, loved Past Lives.
How are you feeling?
I'm feeling good.
I feel good.
Now that I'm meeting you, I feel great.
I mean, it's only downhill from here.
I know.
No, hopefully not.
I loved Past Lives.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, was it a joy to make?
Yes, it was such a fun thing to make and I feel like it was my first movie, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
I loved American Fiction.
Thank you.
Is 26 days a normal amount of time to make a film?
I don't think so.
I've never made one.
Can you talk to me a bit about the casting process for Snoop?
I think we saw 15 or 20 dogs.
And I thought Snoop was so super clever and super, you know, different.
I mean, his acting skills were incredible.
Yeah.
I also heard that you have a forklift Yeah, I do.
Is that true?
It's true, but I don't know if I could still do it.
And you probably shouldn't say that you have one around here, because they'll probably try and make you take all of this set down.
Who are you rooting for tonight?
Well, I can't say.
Okay.
You don't want to give me an exclusive?
After all we've been through, give me an exclusive.
Well, one of my best friends is nominated.
What do you want me to say?
I'm not nominated.
I'm not nominated.
You're funny.
WWE.
Yes.
How do you think I would fare?
Do you think I could fight?
I do.
It feels like you've got some British fight in you.
Got some knock around stuff in there.
Yeah, knock around.
Got some pinky blinder stuff going on.
Yeah, some pinky blinders.
Okay, well I appreciate that.
Well, thank you very much for talking with me.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
And I hope you have an amazing Oscars.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
You too, and stop cheating at that game.
Sorry.
But it's been a pleasure.
Oh, okay.
And I'll see you later.
Should I just drop it?
No, don't drop it.
