MY LOVE OF MOVIES BEGAN AT THE LOCAL DRIVE-IN, WATCHING CLINT EASTWOOD AND GODZILLA.
MY NOMINEES FOR BEST ACTOR ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH MOVIES AT A YOUNG AGE.
YUH-JUNG YOUN FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MOVIES THROUGH THE WORK OF ACTRESSES LIKE MAGGIE SMITH AND DIRECTORS ROBERT ALTMAN AND MIKE LEIGH. FOR AMANDA SEYFRIED IT WAS THE FILM VERSION OF "ROMEO AND JULIET," THE LEO VERSION. ME, TOO.
MARIA BAKALOVA LOVED MARILYN MONROE. AND WHEN MARIA DREAMED ABOUT COMING TO HOLLYWOOD, SH'D WRITE OUT, "'M GOING TO BE A GREAT MOVIE STAR SOME DAY."
MARIA, WELCOME. AS A YOUNG GIRL OLIVIA COLMA'S FAMILY WOULD GATHER AT CHRISTMAS TIME, GET SOME POPCORN AND WATCH "THE SOUND OF MUSIC" AND "CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG." AND THE GREAT GLENN CLOSE WAS ENTRANCED BY CLASSIC DISNEY MOVIES LIKE "SNOW WHITE," "LITTLEST OUTLAW," "OLD YELLER." AND YOU ENDED UP BEING CAST AS CRUELLA De VIL. THE OSCAR FOR BEST SUPPORTING THE OSCAR FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS GOES TO --
YUH-JUNG YOUN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ][ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] ♪♪
