Revolutionary Road

We have an incredible actress, screenwriter, and playwright with an truly admirable career with us.

She originally gained recognition for her roles in The Savages, Revolutionary Road, and It's Complicated, before then starring in an HBO miniseries I think we all know and love, Olive Kitteridge, which she received an Emmy nomination for.

She also wrote and co-starred in the rom-com Ruby Sparks and co-wrote the 2018 film Wildlife.

She also has an extensive theater background, and she's written several amazing plays, which you guys know is, like, that's where I live.

[laughs]

Is that much of a novelty? At least DiCaprio had the fun thing of not just it's schlubby in one way or another, but stoner guy, which is far removed from the more intense, even his darker, vulnerable roles where he's intense in Revolutionary Road or Killers of the Flower Moon.

Here he's a, a silly stoner guy that is more Mr. Bean than anything else.

That's more specifically rendered than Tom Cruise has, is bald and f- did we mention he's fat? And it's like, okay, so he looks like a character actor.

Go see

a showing of Revolutionary Road.

Yeah, yeah.

If you guys

Second up is Alexandra Mazur.

This is kind of weirdly her only title as head of the production design department because But she has a much longer resume than Barry and worked mainly as a set decorator or assistant set decorator on the likes of Meet Joe Black, The Last Days of Disco, Man on the Moon, Sex and the City, The Royal Tenenbaums, Elf, The Stepford Wives, The Nicole Kidman Version, Music and Lyrics, Revolutionary Road, and Boardwalk Empire.

Wow.

Wow.

we'll make it work yes but let's get into it i presented to my patrons at and the runner-up is a list of 15 actresses who earned sag nominations but did not translate those to oscar nominations And just to recap, the options were Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl, Jennifer Aniston in Cake, Emily Blunt in Mary Poppins Returns, Marian Cotillard in Rust and Bone, Judi Dench in Victoria and Abdul, Jane Horrocks in Little Voice, Jennifer Hudson in Respect, Angelina Jolie in A Mighty Heart, Lady Gaga in House of Gucci, Jenna Rollins in Unhook the Stars, Meryl Streep in The River Wild, Kate Winslet in Revolutionary Road, Evan Rachel Wood in Thirteen, Robin Wright in She's So Lovely, and Zee Zhang in Memoirs of a Geisha.

And the winners were Kate Winslet in Revolutionary Road and Evan Rachel Wood in Thirteen.

Any other favorites from that group? I saw you had a few gestures as I was reading those.

Well, personally love Pamela Anderson and Last Showgirl, like one of my favorite performances recently.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Especially when I was re-watching Revolutionary Road, I was like, this is a lot.

We have Ryan Simpkins as Alice.

Simpkins is an American actress known for her performance in Pride and Glory, A Single Man, Revolutionary Road, and this trilogy.

And finally, we have Kiara Aurelia as Sheila.

Aurelia is an American actress.

He's up to nine.

The previous eight are Titanic, The Departed, Revolutionary Road, Inception, Django Unchained, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Revenant, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

He's been on a remarkable run of Best Picture nominees going back more than a decade.

The only film he has that wasn't up for the top prize between Django in 2012 and Last Year with One Battle... is The Great Gatsby, and that at least did win some technical Oscars, but it didn't get a nomination for Best Picture.

And at the same time, I was able to... work as an actor sort of in some lead roles I've starred opposite Jude Law in a big HBO show and I starred in The Serpent Queen which was a hundred million dollar show with Samantha Morton and me as the leads and and it was amazing and then I did another big show with Sky in the UK and You know, what was amazing about all of those is I got to learn so much from so many great people.

Justin Hayes, who wrote Revolutionary Road, wrote The Serpent Queen.

I got to learn from him.

I got to learn from Samantha Morton.

What a terrible, terrible franchise.

I'll just think of him as the dude in Revolutionary Road.

Oh, yeah.

He's great.

Other sad husband.

He cheated on his wonderful wife.

Revolutionary Road.

I just wanted to see who his wife was.
