01:01:12 82	B-Roll - DGA Red Carpet 2009 – Pan of Crowd,
01:01:50 120	Sound Bite: Dan Jinks/Bruce Cohen Dan – I was in bed although I must confess that I couldn’t sleep at all so I actually got up at 4 in the morning, took a shower, shaved, and then went back to bed at 5:30 to listen to the nominations and was just hoping and hollering. We just never expected to get five to get eight nominations, that’s a really big number. Bruce – I’m one of the, the many people in Hollywood who get up every year at 5:30 in the morning and cant wait to see the Oscar Nominations so when a year does roll around when you’re lucky enough to actually be one of the people that may get an Oscar Nomination its incredibly exciting.
01:02:26 156	Sound Bite: Dan Jinks/ Bruce Cohen Dan – We’ve been Gus Van Sant fans for so many years now and we would call his agency and say hey can we have a meeting with Gus, we sent him projects and never heard anything and we got this script on a Monday night and on Wednesday we were sitting in a room with Gus and it was like a dream come true for us. He is one of the great filmmakers, he’s so smart and he’s incredibly articulate but he’s not verbose, he chooses his words very carefully but everybody listens to what he says and he’s all about authenticity and I think that shows up in Milk. So many people have said that Milk really feels like it brought them back to the 70’s in such a real way and that’s really a tribute to Gus Van Sant.
01:03:12 202	Sound Bite: Dan Jinks/ Bruce Cohen Bruce – Well what, perseverance you definitely need, and patience cause its always very tough to get started but its all about material, I mean we really believe you know if you can get your hands on a beautiful screenplay you’re going to have a much better chance getting that into a movie. And if if the material isn’t that good even if you think its your shot, you might want to wait and really work hard to find something that you really believe can be an amazing film some day. Dan – The one thing I would add to that is if you’re 22, 23 years old and you decide I’m going to produce a 30/40/50 million dollar movie its like being a CEO of a company without really understanding how a company really works. Uh so I always suggest to young people who want to Produce to work for a producer or work for a studio and really learn the ropes for a few years that way when you’re finally in that position you’ll have the experience to make educated decisions.
01:04:25 275	Sound Bite: Lisa Edelstein I think you have to remember most importantly that you are uniquely qualified to do what you do in away that no one else can and to understand that about yourself is vital.
01:04:46 296	Sound Bite: Lisa Edelstein My very first experience was actually on a soap opera, I had one line, that is correct and it was very stupid but I was infront of the camera and I was excited to be there.

01:11:07 677	Sound Bite: Michael Shannon I was in the uh Sundance Film Festival, I was in park city Utah yeah at the Sundance Film Festival and uhm I had uh been to a midnight screening the night before so I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep so I was a little out of it when I got the call but its sunk in since in yeah.
01:11:32 702	Sound Bite: Michael Shannon Oh boy uh that would be Groundhog Day I guess. Yeah I uh it was an amazing experience actually it was uh they had taken over this little town in Illinois, Woodstock Illinois, they shot the whole thing on location and it was summer time, but in the movie its obviously supposed to be winter. So in the middle of summer there’s this town covered in fake snow, everybody’s walking around with coats on, it was very serial. But yeah that would be my first experience and Harold Ramous is such a nice man, he was really fun to work with and uh yeah that was my first one.
01:12:15 745	Sound Bite: Michael Shannon Hmm, well you just have to be patient, I’ve been doing this 19 years, 19 years and there’s people who have been doing it a lot longer. It just takes, sometimes it just takes a long time, just b patient.
01:12:36 766	B-Roll - DGA Red Carpet 2009 – CU of Michelle Monaghan, Michelle talking to reporter
01:14:28 878	Sound Bite: Michelle Monaghan John Baptista ?
01:14:39 889	Sound Bite: Michelle Monaghan Oh my gosh I was on a film with Adrian Line, it was Unfaithful and uh starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane and uh I’m so surprised I was even able to work I was so nervous, that was my first experience in and working with those pros were extraordinary and after that day I knew I wanted to be an actor for the rest of my life.
01:15:04 914	Sound Bite: Michelle Monaghan Perseverance, that’s number one you know and uh really just believe in yourself honestly and work hard and put your best foot foreword and persevere.

01:15:29 939	B-Roll - DGA Red Carpet 2009 – Danny Boyle
01:16:02 972	Sound Bite: Melissa Leo I was out in Sundance (talks) No, no, no I’m not so well informed as some people that I know. I had no idea it gets aired on television the morning of the announcements, I did have a heads up that it was that morning that the announcements would be made, a good friend called me. I was still in bed when the call came, it was delightful.
01:16:28 998	Sound Bite: Melissa Leo It was probably about 28 years ago Roger Corman was producing a film that was originally called cookie that I was told was a independent docu-drama about street prostitution. I didn’t know who Roger Corman was at the time and then when we shot Cookie, I mean Street Walkin as it became called, I learned that was the first thing I ever shot in New York City.
01:17:07 1037	Sound Bite: Melissa Leo Yeah look at the names of the people involved in it and know as much as you can about it, it will inform you about the project, that’s just cause of the story I just told. You have to find yourself and as much as an actor needs to be able to recreate yourselves, you need to have a grounding in who you are, and so the women that you play or the men for male actors can be informed with a truth that is your own.
01:17:39 1069	Sound Bite: Melissa Leo Badgley Mischka
01:17:45 1075	B-Roll - DGA Red Carpet 2009 – Fashion Shot of Melissa Leo

01:20:24 1234	B-Roll - DGA Red Carpet 2009 – Viola Davis
01:21:07 1277	Sound Bite: Frank Langella I was in bed, it was early in the morning and I was awakened by someone who told me they’d awaken me and did. I couldn’t watch so they did for me.
01:21:19 1289	Sound Bite: Frank Langella It was in Yugoslavia and it was for Mel Brooks in a movie called The 12 Chairs and the first thing I ever did in a film was open a door, walk in a room and hop over a little swinging fence and all I could think of was this is the first thing you’ve ever done in a movie, don’t trip.
01:21:46 1316	Sound Bite: Frank Langella Simple, never give up, never give in.
01:21:56 1326	B-Roll - DGA Red Carpet 2009 – Ron Howard & Marisa Tomei, Danny Boyle & Entourage, Ron Howard & Marisa Tomei
01:23:22 1412	Sound Bite: Marisa Tomei Uh I think when the first time uhm I mean I knew that we were having a great experience doing it, which is usually the best you can hope for. And then when I saw it and I saw just the first few frames and I saw what Darren, just the impact of the opening, I was really proud of Darren.
01:23:46 1436	Sound Bite: Marisa Tomei Uhm how do you know when you have a good director? When it hurts a little and but it still feels so good---Darren. (talks) No.
01:24:24 1474	Sound Bite: Danny Boyle Oh for lots of reasons, obviously for sheer, I’m a fan of directors in a way that maybe these guys aren’t because I am a director so I’m a big fan of directors. Just to sit on a stage with David Fincher, Ron Howard, Gus Van Sant, Chris Nolan, people like that this morning, was extraordinary. The other thing in the nomination they include your team which is unique, nobody else does. And Rodge here, Rodger Cherry was my first Assistant Director and he was extraordinary in organizing the street scenes especially but also introducing me and teaching me how to film in Mumbai really. And to see him and his team as part of the nomination tonight is a wonderful honor and uh Fox has been wonderful to bring him here so he can share in a bit of glamour before he goes back to his day job and gets on with the tough stuff, its lovely.
01:25:22 1532	Sound Bite: Danny Boyle Its, the biggest challenge of all is picking the right people, always. You know you pick the composer, this is Aroa our composer. You pick your team to work with, that’s the biggest skill of all actually and 95% of it is that skill really and some of its based on experience and some of its based on intuition, instinct about people. And when you’re on a roll, when you feel really good about a story or the place that your working you tend to make good decisions and a good decision always follows another good decision you know they tend to roll like that and you pick up speed in a film and I could feel that happening and then its up to you to ruin it as a Director cause you can always do that as well you know that’s always a possibility. But we look like we’ve made a decent job of the film and its wonderful the reception we’ve had throughout America from the media, from critics from film festivals but most of all word of mouth really amongst people, you can feel it ordinary people who have been to see the movie against all the odds because its not the kind of film that they would normally go to see I think but they’ve been helped by all those other people to go and see it and then they spread the word to each other and we’re really delighted about that, absolutely delighted you know.
01:26:36 1606	Sound Bite: Danny Boyle Well actually I, whenever I get asked that question I think of a couple of really small films, you know which are Frozen River, it’s an extraordinary film made with very little money. A weird Swedish film called Let the Right One In a vampire film like you’ve never seen before. But there’s other films like some of which are nominated, some of which are not, Waltz with Bashir, The Wrestler, these small films that are made against the odds you know there’s been a big struggle to make them you can feel that in them and yet they’ve been extraordinary moments for me uh watching them last year.
