The Lost Daughter: Olivia Coleman for her "candid" film about motherhood
Olivia Coleman watched as Maggie Gyllenhaal rose from her seat and walked through a hotel room in London's Soho district to try to retrieve what she thought was jewelry.
"We only realized it then. But, you know, all the trophies look like tall buildings," Gyllenhaal exclaimed. "It looks perfect. Can I take it?" "I don't think you can steal stuff from a hotel room," Coleman warned.
This outbreak of Hollywood kleptomania is that Gyllenhaal received the Outstanding Performance Award for the film The Lost Daughter a few days earlier, which Gyllenhaal wrote and directed at the Gotham Awards in New York on behalf of Coleman.
Unfortunately, midway through the interview, he discovered that not only had he forgotten to bring the trophy to England to hand over to its rightful owner, but he also didn't even know where it was. His answer was to compensate for this by finding an immediate replacement, but he didn't pick the location well.
"Oh no, it's light, guys." "He's addicted," Coleman shouted, enjoying the mess. "Please don't let me steal things from the room," he laughed.
Gyllenhaal gave up, but he doesn't seem too saddened by the loss of the award, especially since it may not be the last prize the missing princess has won this season.
This week alone, the film received nominations for the Golden Globe, Critics Choice Awards, and Independent Spirit Awards.
This adaptation of a short story by Elena Ferrante about Leda, a professor of British Italian literature who vacations alone in Greece and watches her family on the beach every day.
The relationship between a young mother OR her daughter makes Leda think about the struggles she went through as a mother that led to the departure of her husband and two daughters.
Oscar-winner Coleman is a mother of two sons and a daughter and knows the difficulty of reconciling a successful career with motherhood.
"I always feel like a better mom when I'm feeling creative, so I'm fortunate to be able to do both. I love my job and have a lot of time with my children.
