THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER--The 2013 Full Uncensored Actresses and Producers Roundtable

The Hollywood Reporter continues their roundtable discussions with two more that have been released in the series. This time we have many of the actresses and producers that are making a splash this awards season. You may notice some of the same movies being discussed, but it is always interesting hearing about the process from different perspectives involved in the production. I have included links to all of my reviews thus far.

Lupita Nyong'o, 12 Years a Slave
Julia Roberts, August: Osage County
Octavia Spencer, Fruitvale Station
Emma Thompson, Saving Mr. Banks

“This is what I learned working with Meryl Streep. She works her ass off. It is not a magic trick. She does not just show up and be brilliant. You see the mechanics of it in way that I found such a comfort.” -Julia Roberts



The Producers Roundtable

Michael De Luca, Captain Phillips
Dede Gardner, 12 Years a Slave
