Hi.
I hope it's okay, but I'm calling you from the car.
So long as you don't crash!
Wouldn't that be a better story if I did? [Laughs.] Don't worry, I'm hands-free. I promise I won't crash and die. All I can do is promise, though. If I break my promise, we can't exactly have a follow-up about it.
Congrats on the Independent Spirit Award nomination for your screenplay for The Descendants, by the way. Hopefully that makes up for the film being shut out at the Gotham Awards.
Yes, I just found about that! It was one of those things where I got a call, a very quick message from someone going, "Congratulations! Call me!" and you're like, "I guess I better, to find out what the congratulations are for." I didn't even know about the Gotham Awards until you just told me, but yes, that will make up for it. It's all just icing on the cake. It's all very exciting. I don't know what I'll have to do [for the awards season campaign] other than show up to screening Q&As and mingle at toasts. So far it hasn't been too stressful. I haven't been asked to remove my clothes yet.
Or wear a costume?
No costumes! [Laughs.] Somehow, my two careers have not crossed streams yet. I could force my hand and say I came straight from the set: "Sorry, I had to wear this." Something crazy and revealing, with high-heeled pumps? "Sorry, I had no time to change." Maybe a Carmen Miranda costume, that's tropical enough to fit with a Descendants-Hawaii theme. Or Tina Turner. She can fit in anywhere. Why not? Fox Searchlight would probably be thrilled with the attention it would get.
