Donna Brazile says she wouldn't change anything about the way awards are handed out. The Independent Spirit Awards have combined gender categories, which makes it more difficult for women to get nominated in some of their roles. "The woman you see sitting here today who's a boss with a capital B is because Jason Blum... ... gave me a deal," said Brazile.
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).
