Despite the lack of a DaColbert Code to tell me which movies I was supposed to root for this year, I found myself watching the Oscars last night. First things first: congratulations to Kathryn Bigelow on her fantastic wins last night! I know the movie has its critics, but I was really impressed by The Hurt Locker; I thought it worked as a story, an entertainment, and a virtual handbook for acting and directing, and I was ecstatic over its win last night.
Since it’s been a quiet news day out there in the Colbert universe, I thought I’d post this little round up of Stephen’s interviews with people nominated for Academy Awards this year. Starting with our big winner, here’s The Colbert Report‘s visit from Academy Award-winning director and producer Kathryn Bigelow:
Check out more nominees behind the fold
Meryl Streep (nominee for Best Actress, Julie and Julia)
Morgan Freeman (nominee for Best Actor, Invictus)
Randy Newman (double nominee for Best Original Song — “Almost There” and “Down in New Orleans” — The Princess and the Frog)
And here’s one more bonus interview for you, this one with Daniel Ellsberg. Dr. Ellsberg was not technically a nominee this year, but he was both featured in and the subject of the nominated documentary The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. In my opinion, this was an excellent documentary that deserved better than the limited release it received.
