    • Movie actors Timothée Chalamet and Kieran Culkin won at the 2025 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
    • On the TV front, ‘Shogun’ did well, taking three awards.
    • The event was held on Sunday night at the Shrine Auditorium.

    This year’s movie awards season is careening towards its conclusion with next weekend’s Oscars, but this Sunday was the turn of the actors, with the Screen Actors Guild Awards, broadcast for the second time on Netflix and hosted once again by Kristen Bell.

    With the focus, a little like the Critics Choice before it, on Los Angeles and the incredible impact of the wildfires on the city and its environs this year, there was time for a tribute to the first responders who fought the flames and provided aid.

    But actors being actors, this was mostly a chance to celebrate, well, acting, as Bell launched into a monologue –– parodying a song from ‘Frozen,’ which we suppose she’s one of the few people who can still get away with that after this many years –– to look at various actors’ early jobs.

    Otherwise, it was award show business as usual –– trophies were handed out, speeches read and jokes attempted.

    The main movies up for ensemble had their casts out “presenting” each title, and those seemed particularly awkward, with little evidence of rehearsal or prep.

    Other presenter duos seemed like they’d been imbibing or were simply nervous, with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson stumbling through their spiel and even the steps in presenting an award. For reference, it goes read nominees, wait for nominee intro list, read winner.

    As for those who claimed awards, there were the predictable ones: Kieran Culkin accepted yet another trophy for ‘A Real Pain’ and if there’s a nailed-on prospect for an Oscar, he’s surely at the top of the list. His rambling speech also began one of the night’s running gags, with several winners (and at least one presenter) referring to how heavy the “actor” award statuette is.
    Zoe Saldaña added more hardware for her trophy cabinet for ‘Emilia Pérez’, while cast members of ‘Shōgun,’ ‘Baby Reindeer’ and ‘The Penguin’ won more awards.

    Surprises? ‘A Complete Unknown’s Timothée Chalamet threw a spanner into the predictable Lead Actor race, picking up a rare win, while even Selena Gomez was surprised that ‘Only Murders in the Building’ had taken two (one for ensemble, the other for Martin Short, who was not there –– Gomez quipped that he and Short didn’t care about the awards).

    A little chaotic, then, but funny enough in places. And now we see whether the actors’ decisions here translate to the Academy Awards…

  • Screen Actors Guild Awards 2025 Nominations Announced

    The nominations for the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards were announced on the morning of Wednesday, January 8, 2025. Initial plans to stream the nominations live with hosts Joey King and Cooper Koch were canceled due to the horrific fires that are ravaging the greater Los Angeles area, with the list of nominees posted online instead.

    The nominees on the motion picture side provided a further twist to the impending Oscar race, as ‘Emilia Perez’ – which walked away with four prizes at last Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony – continued to rack up multiple nominations, including Best Ensemble, Best Female Lead Performance for Karla Sofía Garcón, and Best Female Supporting Performance for Zoe Saldaña.

    But while the Globes’ other big winner, ‘The Brutalist,’ was represented here by a sole nomination for Adrien Brody in Best Male Lead Performance, the musical fantasy ‘Wicked’ was a SAG favorite, with nominations for Best Ensemble, Best Female Lead Performance for Cynthia Erivo, Best Female Supporting Performance for Ariana Grande, and Best Male Supporting Performance for Jonathan Bailey.

    A Complete Unknown,’ ‘Conclave,’ and ‘Anora’ also earned two or more nominations each, while surprises included the nominations of Jamie Lee Curtis for ‘The Last Showgirl’ and Danielle Deadwyler for ‘The Piano Lesson’ in the Best Female Supporting Performance category after they were previously not a major part of the conversation.

    Also a surprise: while Jeremy Strong got the nod in the Best Male Supporting Performance category for his malevolent turn as Roy Cohn in ‘The Apprentice,’ star Sebastian Stan did not land a nomination for either his star turn in that or ‘A Different Man,’ for which he won the Golden Globe on Sunday.

    On the television side, ‘Shōgun’ followed its Emmys and Golden Globes winning streak with four nominations, including Best Ensemble in a Drama Series, two Best Male Actor nods, and a Best Female Actor nom. Additional multiple nominees in both the ensemble and individual acting categories included ‘The Bear,’ ‘The Diplomat,’ and ‘Hacks.’

    The 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will stream live globally on Netflix from the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall on Sunday, Feb. 23, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

    • ‘The Brutalist’ and ‘Emilia Perez’ were the big winners at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards, winning Best Motion Picture in both their categories in addition to other major prizes.
    • Comebacks and upsets were the theme of the evening, as Demi Moore won her first award ever and surprise winners captured other categories.
    • Following last year’s disastrous hosting gig by Jo Koy, stand-up comic Nikki Glaser steadied the ship with a smooth, funny, if unspectacular performance as emcee.

    The Brutalist’ and ‘Emilia Perez’ were the biggest movie winners at the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, January 5, with the international journalists of the Golden Globe Foundation bestowing some of their biggest prizes on two of the more anti-commercial films of the season. A number of other highly hyped favorites like ‘Anora’ and ‘Wicked’ were largely shut out, while other major prizes went to a variety of smaller independent releases.

    ‘The Brutalist’ walked away with Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director for Brady Corbet, and Best Male Actor – Drama for Adrien Brody, while ‘Emilia Perez’ snagged Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Supporting Actor – Female for Zoe Saldana, Best Original Song for ‘El Mal,’ and Best International Motion Picture.

    Neither film is what one might first think of as popular cineplex fare. ‘The Brutalist’ is a 3 ½ hour period epic about a brilliant architect and Holocaust survivor who struggles to find his place after landing in America following World War II, while ‘Emilia Perez’ is a musical about a Mexican cartel boss who transitions into a woman. ‘The Brutalist’ is just finding its way into theaters now, while ‘Emilia Perez’ has been streaming on Netflix since November. “We were told the film was undistributable, that no one would go see it,” said Corbet as he accepted Best Motion Picture. “No one was asking for 3 ½ hour film about a designer on 70mm. But it works.”

    Karla Sofía Gascón accepts the award for Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy at the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, airing live from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.

    Those two films all but dominated the Globes, with other major awards going to ‘Conclave’ (Peter Straughan for Best Screenplay), ‘I’m Still Here’ (Fernanda Torres for Best Female Actor – Drama in a surprise upset over stars like Nicole Kidman and Kate Winslet), ‘A Different Man’ (Sebastian Stan for Best Male Actor – Musical or Comedy), and ‘The Substance’ (Demi Moore for Best Female Actor – Musical or Comedy).

    Moore, winning her first award of any kind in her long career, gave an impassioned and emotional speech in which she all but admitted that she never thought her work would receive any sort of acknowledgement beyond her ability to sell tickets:

    “In those moments when we don’t think we are smart enough or pretty enough, or skinny enough or successful enough or basically just not enough, I had a woman say to me just know you will never be enough you can know the measure of your work if you just put down the measuring stick.”

    She also revealed that she thought her best days as an actor might be behind her, a fear echoed by Adrien Brody in his equally emotional acceptance speech. “There was a time when I thought this would not be afforded to me again,” said the actor, who won an Oscar two decades ago for his portrayal of another Holocaust survivor in “The Pianist.”

    Rousing speeches were among the highlights of the night, with Stan also acknowledging the difficulty of making films like ‘A Different Man’ and the Donald Trump biopic ‘The Apprentice,’ for which the Marvel star was also nominated for his portrayal of the convicted felon and once-and-future president. Meanwhile, director Jon M. Chu, accepting the Globes’ award for Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement – most popular movie, in other words – for ‘Wicked,’ insisted on “how important making this stuff is, when pessimism and cynicism rule the planet right now.”

    Aside from that award, ‘Wicked’ was shut out of other major prizes, as were Oscar favorites like ‘Anora,’ ‘Nickel Boys,’ and ‘A Complete Unknown,’ all of which went home empty-handed. ‘Conclave’ earned the screenplay prize, while ‘Challengers’ composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won for Best Score and Kieran Culkin earned Best Supporting Actor for ‘A Real Pain,’ the latter one of the few awards of the night which seemingly has a lock on an Oscar win as well.

    On the TV side, ‘Shogun’ was the behemoth of the evening, walking away with three acting prizes as well as Best TV Series – Drama, while ‘Hacks’ won for Best TV Series – Comedy or Musical and ‘Baby Reindeer’ earned the trophy for Best Limited Series. The latter beat out ‘The Penguin’ in that category, although Colin Farrell, as widely expected, did earn the award for Best Male Actor – Limited Series for his portrayal of the title Gotham City crime boss.

    As for the Golden Globes show itself, host and stand-up comic Nikki Glaser was a largely smooth and entertaining remedy for last year’s disastrous stint by stand-up Jo Koy, although Glaser did pull back on her usual raunchier fare with a succession of funny, if somewhat predictable, jokes about various members of the star-studded audience. But she proved herself more than capable of working what can be an often tough and raucous room.

    Seemingly having weathered the various scandals that have plagued the organization and the voting body of the awards, the Golden Globe Awards are back to some measure of their former luster, and back in the business of rewarding what they see as the best of this past movie and TV season.

    If anything, this year’s batch of movie nominees feel weighted towards the indie side of things, albeit several produced by the indie arm of big studios. Still, there were the big titles –– ‘Wicked,’ ‘Dune: Part Two’ present as always.

    Emilia Pérez’ dominated the film side, with 10 nominations in total, while the likes of ‘Anora,’ ‘Conclave’ and ‘Challengers’ also showed up.

    Despite its later arrival on the awards scene compared to some of the other nominees, ‘A Complete Unknown’ –– which stars Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, scored some notable attention.

    And even though it boasts a seemingly brutal (pun entirely intended) three hours and 45 minute running time (including an intermission!), Brady Corbet’s latest, ‘The Brutalist,’ also landed several nominations.

    pH6fB4e5P7q4SrkEEBT6H1

    The new category this year was “Cinematic and Box Office Achievement” which, (deep breath) is defined as “a gross box office receipt total of at least $150 million, of which $100 million must come from the U.S. domestic box office, and/or obtain commensurate digital streaming viewership according to recognized trusted industry sources within the qualifying year.”

    Oh, and movies released after November 22nd get in based on projected box office and streaming views. Just in case you were wondering…

    Left out? ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ which couldn’t even rustle up a “we hope she attends” nomination for Lady Gaga, ‘Thelma’ which actually deserved some love, and Steve McQueen’s World War II drama ‘Blitz.’

    Gladiator II,’ meanwhile had to make do with showing up on the aforementioned Cinematic and Box Office Achievement list and, as could have been predicted, a Best Supporting Actor nod for Denzel Washington’s scene-stealing role.

    The 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards is set to air live from the Beverly Hilton on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, January 5th.

    On the TV side of the nominees, it was business as usual also as some heavy hitters (‘Abbott Elementary‘ and ‘Only Murders in the Building‘) saw plenty of potential trophies added to the list.

    Among the newcomers, ‘Shōgun’ was well represented, as was fellow awards darling ‘Baby Reindeer.’ ‘The Day of the Jackal’ was perhaps the most surprising new arrival, though it’s not all that shocking given the success of that show.

    The Globes are also the place where network TV gets more of a look in, with ‘Matlock’ among those up for awards.

  • TV Review: ‘The Diplomat’ Season 2

    Arriving on Netflix on October 31st, the second season of ‘The Diplomat’ might not be the most Halloween-centric offering, but it certainly possesses enough to scare you about how the world truly works.

    The political drama from ‘The West Wing’ veteran Debora Cahn continues the story from the first, as Keri Russell’s ambassador balances her learning curve while representing the United States in Britain with what she’s quickly learning about an unfolding conspiracy.

    Does ‘The Diplomat’ send the right message?

    Keri Russell as Kate Wyler in season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Courtesy Of Netflix © 2024.

    Early on in ‘The Diplomat’s first season, there were plenty of comparisons made between this series and ‘The West Wing’, given creator Debora Cahn’s experience on the writing staff of that show and the familiar environs of political chess moves within different administrations.

    While those are still relatively fair (the show features a lot of walking and talking and the occasional spiky dialogue scene), ‘The Diplomat’ has long since evolved into its own thing, in ways both positive and negative.

    It’s rarely as compelling as Aaron Sorkin’s classic series could be when it wanted to, but at the same time we can’t forget that the previous show had around 24 episodes per year to develop its characters, backstories and plotlines, as compared to ‘The Diplomat’s relatively skimpy eight-episode first season, which shrinks further to six episodes in Season 2 (though that’s because it was renewed for two seasons at once, and the third was shot back-to-back with the second for a total of 12 episodes, the next other half due next year).

    Yet judged on its own merits, ‘The Diplomat’ has plenty to offer.

    Script and Direction

    (L to R) Keri Russell as Kate Wyler and Executive Producer/Director Simon Cellan Jones on the set of season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Alex Bailey/Netflix © 2023.

    Cahn leads her own writing team with aplomb, focusing more tightly on a core group of characters who all bring something to the table. And showing that she knows her way around a conspiracy plot, she builds an entertaining story full of twists and turns. Just when you think you know the truth, it pivots in impressive ways to show more layers.

    The interpersonal conflicts between the characters also works well, particularly between Russell’s Ambassador Wyler and her husband Hal (Rufus Sewell) –– the scenes heat up whenever they’re sparring about the latest situation.

    And though there’s not as much for other characters to do outside of their jobs, they’re all fun to watch.

    On the directing front, with the visual look led by Cahn’s fellow ‘West Wing’ alumnus Alex Graves, it’s glamorous enough, making good news of some very impressive British locations, including the chance to shoot outside the U.S. Embassy in London.

    Performances

    With Russell and Sewell as the main drivers of the drama, there are also other characters and performances who stand out.

    Keri Russell as Kate Wyler

    Keri Russell as Kate Wyler in season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Courtesy of Netflix © 2024.

    Wyler is a fireball of a character, a woman who might seem an unlikely choice for an ambassadorial position given her temper, but who nevertheless is great in the job. Russell makes an already well-rounded character really work well, balancing her fury at what she learns with a need to employ her smarts on the job.

    Rufus Sewell as Hal Wyler

    Rufus Sewell as Hal Wyler in season 2 of 'The Diplomat'. Photo: Courtesy of Netflix © 2024.

    Sewell also shines as Wyler’s husband, the experienced diplomat who can’t help but meddle in her affairs and uses his own connections to dig up information and put out fires (though he occasionally causes them). He’s a great portrait of a powerful man who can’t quite let go of the idea that he’s no longer as essential as he once was.

    Rory Kinnear as Prime Minister Nicol Trowbridge

    Rory Kinnear as Nicol Trowbridge in season 2 of 'The Diplomat'. Photo: Courtesy of Netflix © 2024.
    Rory Kinnear as Nicol Trowbridge in season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Courtesy of Netflix © 2024.

    Kinnear is more normally found as the sort of supporting character he excels at (see Tanner from the Daniel Craig Bond movies), but Trowbridge is his chance to embrace a powerful, conflicted figure and he grasps it fully. The British Prime Minister is a fascinating, insecure man and factors even further into this year’s plot line.

    Ali Ahn as Eidra Park

    Ali Ahn as Eidra Park in season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Alex Bailey/Netflix © 2024.

    The chief of the CIA station at the US embassy and an ally to Kate Ahn’s Park is an excellent foil for the ambassador, eminently capable and yet also emotionally vulnerable when it comes to her on-again-off-again relationship with Ato Essandoh’s Stuart Heyford, the ambassador’s chief aide.

    Allison Janney as Grace Penn

    Allison Janney as Grace Penn in season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Alex Bailey/Netflix © 2024.

    Janney, another ‘West Wing’ stalwart, sweeps into the show late in this season and lifts every scene in which she appears. The accomplished actor, like Russell and Sewell, really knows how to make Cahn and co.’s dialogue sing.

    Other notable characters

    Celia Imrie as Margaret Roylin in season 2 of 'The Diplomat'. Photo: Alex Bailey/Netflix © 2024.
    Celia Imrie as Margaret Roylin in season 2 of ‘The Diplomat’. Photo: Alex Bailey/Netflix © 2024.

    The supporting cast is populated with a quality group of actors who work in different levels. Essandoh does good work as Stuart, while the likes of David Gyasi (as the British Foreign Secretary) and Celia Imrie (as Trowbridge confidante-turned-whistle blower Margaret Roylin) brings all of her British national treasure chops to the fascinating role.

    Final Thoughts

    Picking up the story strands laid down by the first season effectively, the second season of the drama proves to be even more entertaining. Digging further into the conspiracy story but never losing sight of the personal stakes involved, ‘The Diplomat’ remains one of Netflix’s stronger titles.

    ‘The Diplomat’ Season 2 receives 7.5 out of 10 stars.

    What’s the story of ‘The Diplomat’ Season 2?

    A deadly explosion in the heart of London shatters US Ambassador Kate Wyler’s (Keri Russell) world. Struggling to rebuild the lives that broke and the team that split apart, Kate’s worst fears unfold: The attack that brought her to the UK didn’t come from a rival nation, it came from inside the British government.

    As Kate chases the truth, her only real ally is her almost-ex-husband Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), very much alive, and very much involved. She faces a fraught marriage, a complex dynamic with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney).

    Preview:

    • The first images of ‘Squid Game’ Season 2 are online.
    • Star Lee Jung-jae will be back with a mix of returning and new cast.
    • Netflix released a trailer for its new and returning shows for 2024.

    The wait for a new season of ‘Squid Game’ has been almost as torturous as some of the twists in the first run, all the way back in 2021.

    ‘Squid Game’ become Netflix’s most-watched show, with the company estimating that subscribers worldwide streamed 1.65 billion hours of the show in the first 28 days of its release. It inspired many Halloween costumes based on the contestants’ numbered green tracksuits and the orange jumpsuit/face mask combination sported by guards on the show.

    And while last year’s reality show ‘Squid Game: The Challenge’ may have tried to tide us all over, it was far from the real thing. The good news for fans, then, is that it’ll be back for a second season this year, with pictures to prove it.

    What’s the story of ‘Squid Game’?

    Season One saw 456 cash-poor contestants are invited by a mysterious organization to compete in a series of children’s games – with deadly consequences – to win a piece of the ₩45.6 billion prize pool (around $38.5 million).

    If you’re one of the potentially three people where Netflix is available that somehow didn’t watch the show, we won’t spoil anything further.

    What will happen in the new season?

    If you’re desperate for any tiny morsel of information, the details are so far very limited.

    Here’s all we know… “Main man Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) abandons his US plans after a mysterious call and embarks on a chase with a motive.”

    The new season will also welcome other beloved characters back like Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and Recruiter (Gong Yoo). Adding to the intrigue, a new character played by Park Gyu-young makes her debut, sparking curiosity about the new character.

    What other shows and movies will come to Netflix in 2024?

    For those eager to hunt for more clues as to what will be happening, footage from ‘Squid Game’s second season was included in a big new trailer released by Netflix.

    The trailer featured a wealth of looks at shows both old and new, plus movies that will launch. So if you’re a fan of ‘Cobra Kai’, ‘The Diplomat’, ‘Bridgerton’ and ‘Sweet Tooth’ or are anticipating new series including ‘3 Body Problem’, ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ and the arrival of movies such as ‘Axel F’, ‘Hit Man’, and the second entry in Zack Snyder’s ‘Rebel Moon’ franchise, chances are you’ll find something to get excited about here.

    • ‘Oppenheimer’, ‘Barbie’, ‘Poor Things’ and ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ all won at the Golden Globes.
    • On the TV section, ‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ were the big winners.
    • The show struggled to reach past glories.

    If you were looking for dramatic surprises at this year’s Golden Globe awards, which has somewhat distanced itself from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization as much about damage control as it is journalism after a variety of scandals and controversies surrounding it, you would be disappointed. Except perhaps that ‘Barbie’ only took home two awards.

    It was definitely ‘Oppenheimer’s night, not only notching the first directing Golden Globe (following six nominations) for Christopher Nolan, Best Actor (drama) for Cillian Murphy, Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Original Score and Best Picture (Drama).

    The Holdovers’, ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and ‘Barbie’ won two awards each, with the year’s biggest hit making do with an original song for Billie Eilish and Finneas’ “What was I Made For?” and the new, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement gong.

    The small screen awards were even less of a shock –– ‘Succession’ and ‘The Bear’ gobbled up the lion’s share of trophies, while Netflix’s ‘Beef’ had a good night, taking home Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, with awards for stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong. The latter is the first actress of Asian descent to win in her category (Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television).

  • ‘The Diplomat’ Interview: Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell

    Oic6z35Y

    Premiering on Netflix beginning April 20th is the new political drama ‘The Diplomat,’ which was created by Debora Cahn (‘The West Wing,’ ‘Homeland,’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’).

    What is the plot of ‘The Diplomat?’

    ‘The Diplomat’ centers on Kate Wyler (Keri Russell), the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, as she has to defuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London and adjust to her new place in the spotlight while also trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell).

    Who is in the cast of ‘The Diplomat?’

    ‘The Diplomat’ stars Keri Russell (‘Cocaine Bear,’ ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’) as Kate Wyler, Rufus Sewell (‘Judy,’ ‘The Father’) as Hal Wyler, Ali Ahn (‘Liberal Arts’) as Eidra Graham, David Gyasi (‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’) as Austin Dennison, Ato Essandoh (‘Dark Phoenix’) as Stuart Hayford, Rory Kinnear (‘No Time to Die’) as Nicol Trowbridge, Miguel Sandoval (‘Clear and Present Danger’) as Miguel Ganon, and Michael McKean (‘This Is Spinal Tap’) as US President Rayburn.

    Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking with Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell about their work on ‘The Diplomat,’ the complications of their characters’ marriage, why Kate does not want to be Ambassador, why Hal wants her to take the job, and how he’s adjusting to his new role in her administration.

    You can read our full interview below or click on the video player above to watch our interviews with Russell and Sewell, as well as Ali Ahn, Ato Essandoh, David Gyasi, and series creator Debora Cahn.

    Moviefone: To begin with, Keri, can you talk about why Kate was reluctant to accept the Ambassadorship and how she’s adjusting to her new job?

    Kerri Russell: There are generally two types of ambassadors that we have. One, tends to be a gift in some way for a large presidential donation. You get posted in Paris, London or Rome, somewhere nice for the summer. Then there are the career diplomats who are posted in Beirut or starting up a place in Afghanistan, setting up shop there, and they speak multiple languages. Kate is one of the latter, and I think she sees these more glamorous posts like London as not the real work. She doesn’t want to have tea parties with people. She wants to help people, girls go to school or girls to stay alive, you know what I mean? Or to set up voting registration places. I think Kate is struggling because she not passionate. She doesn’t think it’s the real work that she is passionate about.

    MF: Rufus, can you talk about why Hal encourages Kate to take the Ambassadorship and how is he adjusting to his new role behind the scenes?

    Rufus Sewell: Well, he encourages her because he’s a few steps ahead on this. I mean, he also is a similar kind of ambassador. This is a post which is usually awarded to someone who is a big donor politically. It’s normally about parties, photo shoots and glamour, et cetera, et cetera. So posts like this are not really what we are in the game for. We are normally at the cold face of diplomacy, saving lives, stopping wars, or at least trying to. Spending time with warlords or whatever. But this is an opportunity for her to go on to something else. She’s not fully apprised of what this really means, I have more of an idea. Actually, even though I have in the past been a bit of a big shot myself, I genuinely want her to do incredibly well. He’s just not very good at not stepping into the light. He’s a great believer in her. They are equals in mind. He is a big, big supporter of hers. He just can’t help screwing up a bit.

    MF: Finally, Keri, how would you describe Kate and Hal’s marriage and the relationship between the two characters?

    KR: I think it’s a crazy, chaotic, amazing relationship full of friction and pain as well. It just started incredibly intimately and I think their love language, and their meeting is through what they do and what they both love to do. We keep saying, debating and fierce political debate is their pillow talk, sort of. That is what gets them both going. That’s what they care about. I think what’s fun to play with is that idea of one person in the relationship being very comfortable and used to being in the background while the other person is the star. It’s really easy to judge the person when you’re sitting back watching them kind of perform everything. Then when she has to be in the front, she thinks, “Oh, I’ll do everything so perfectly,” and she’s incredibly bad at all of those things. She’s not charming, she’s not small talkie with people. She doesn’t know the name of everyone’s cousin and dog, and can’t tell jokes in the easy way that Hal can. I think the things that Kate lacks, Hal has, with ease, and I think Kate has a sense of integrity and organization that Hal sort of lacks. They round each other out pretty well in that way, and I think she really loves him and thinks that he is brilliant, but he’s not always the best person for her to be around. Or maybe not even the best person to be with. But that’s who she loves.
