“I can’t believe it’s been 15 years. Now, we’re not good at crunching numbers, but we worked out backstage that means we shot this movie in 1883,” Wiig said on stage, before she and her costars performed a fun little exercise in which she read aloud fake letters from various celebrities in the crowd (Stellan Skarsgård, Elle Fanning, Benicio Del Toro and Stellan Skarsgård among them).
Sunday’s Oscars are already a big night for Byrne, who is nominated for best actress for her performance in the film. If I had legs I would kick you; Rudolph, for her part, had a particularly emotional date night with her longtime costar Paul Thomas Anderson, who won the coveted Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture for his film. one battle after another.
