I have been largely MIA for the past few days because I have been preparing for two of the most special “ATWI… Interview Series” pieces yet: today, I will be speaking with Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men), the current favorite to win Best Supporting Actor, and Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose), the current favorite to win Best Actress. These should post shortly, and they will be followed soon after by a number of other top contenders. It’s nice to know that people are catching on to the fact that this is the place to go for an in-depth interview. If you want to know “What are you wearing?” or “Was it fun working with Brad Pitt?” go somewhere else. If you hope to know more than that—what goes into making an Oscar performance (and performer)—then continue to stick around. And thanks for reading.
