"If I'm not having a blast doing this, then what the fuck am I ever going to have a blast doing? That is like this should be the greatest time of my life. And so far up until today," he says. "To be recognized by your industry peers and rewarded for that is amazing." The Oscars are less relevant now with streaming services like Netflix taking their business from Hollywood.
Today, Kara sits down with Jamie Lee Curtis, who’s nominated for her first Oscar for “Everything Everywhere All at Once”, and Donna Langley, the Universal Film Studio head who greenlit “Cocaine Bear.” Taped in front of a live audience at the Upfront Summit, the trio talks about why the revival of the “Halloween” series became such a box office hit – and how it’s led to a whole new chapter in Curtis’s career. Before the interview, Kara and Nayeema share their Oscar predictions and stay tuned for the end to find out what not-so-funny joke that Chris Wallace played on Kara (no, not that Chris Wallace).
