WEBVTT - Hugh Grant Is A Knob - Sonia Kruger Reflects On The Oscars

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, Hazy tuned into Channel seven on the weekend and

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 1>saw some beautiful work from this beautiful lady, Sonya Krueger

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.080
<v Speaker 1>on the champagne carpet at the Oscars.

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Good morning, Sonya, good morning. That's a tricky thing to say.

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've been seas to saying red carpet, red carpet,

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 2>red carpet, as soon as you have to say champagne carpet.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 2>I just couldn't do it. I made so many of

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a stake.

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh well, you did a magnificent job. I saw it

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>one stage. You were like interviewing Nicole Kidman. These are

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the biggest personalities on the planet. Do you get nervous?

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I mean you do, yes, because you want

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that, first of all, you can get

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 2>them to you. Because it's a bit of a fight

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 2>on the red carpet because there are a lot of press,

0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and the stars don't stop for everybody because if they did,

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.560
<v Speaker 2>they'd never get into the buildings. So but luckily, because

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>of Keith Urban having been on The Boys, and I've

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>met Nichole a few times, so to come over and

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 2>have a lovely chat and it was really sweet because

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Nicole made special mention of her mom birthday that day. Yeah, yeah,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.279
<v Speaker 2>and it was just really lovely and I could tell

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 2>she was really missing her mom And yeah, so that

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>was great. See the Cole and Keith and saz Loman

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 2>and Catherine Martin, all the Aussies kind of banded together

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 2>when you get to somewhere like the Academy Awards, you know, yes,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>it's sort of us against the rest of the world.

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.400
<v Speaker 3>So the Aussies were just lovely. It seemed like they

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>did any great interviews. And then oh, Hugh Grants, Sony,

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 3>Hugh Grant a bit of a novel. What are you

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:21.199
<v Speaker 3>most excited to see tonight?

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>To see?

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, I know that you probably watched a few

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 3>of the movies.

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you excited to see anybody?

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>When?

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you have your hopes up for anyone?

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 3>No one in particular? Okay, well, what are you wearing tonight?

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Then?

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Just my suit? Do you know what? I am a

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 2>massive Hugh Grant fan, and I actually had the opportunity

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.479
<v Speaker 2>to interview him a few years ago for a film

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>and I went in and I was just you know,

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 2>being my normal self, backing a few jokes, and he

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>was really short and unimpressed and it got to the

0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 2>point in the interview where I sort of stopped and

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I said, are you OK? And he was like, what

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:03.720
<v Speaker 2>do you mean? And I said, we just don't seem

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>very happy, and then he completely changed. It was really weird.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know if it's just his natural kind

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>of grumpy state that he's in. And I guess he

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.799
<v Speaker 2>doesn't necessarily love having to talk to the press. He's

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 2>not he's not really into the chit chat.

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 3>I think we're all just sort of like infatuated with

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 3>the idea that in real life he's like William Thacker

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.079
<v Speaker 3>in notting Hill, but not so No, no, yeah, no,

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:27.399
<v Speaker 3>well that's true.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Although I wonder whether Hugh is just very guarded around

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the media, like in real life and with his friends

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>when he hangs out he might be that really funny, charismatic,

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.640
<v Speaker 2>warm guy that we want him to be, and he

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 2>just went He just gets his guard up whenever he's

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>faced with a reporter or a camera. You know, he's

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>had a bit of a history, hasn't he In his life.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>There's been a few things that have gone down for

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 2>few hardon the pun, but there some interesting press a

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.399
<v Speaker 2>while back in a holliad quarter of hollywoodn't find as

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 2>I remember correctly, something like that. So maybe that's why

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>he's so guarded speaking to anyone in front of a

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:10.400
<v Speaker 2>camera and a microphone.

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, so now I have to say with absolute validation

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>for me on the weekend, because every time I'm asked

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>about the worst interview I've ever done a radio it

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>was Hugh Grant. He was horrible. He was exactly good,

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>exactly like he was on the Weekend.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>So he doesn't like to give you anything. And I

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 2>think some there might be some people out there. It's

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 2>a bit of sport too, you know, like how difficult

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 2>can I make life for this reporter? Yes, but I'll

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 2>tell you what. It tests your metal and it's great experience.

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 2>So for anybody who's thinking about, you know, getting into

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the media, you do have to deal with all types

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 2>of personalities, and that's just one of them.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Really, this is nice, everyone just uniting as one through

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>their poor experiences.

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.520
<v Speaker 2>With you, bonding over you.

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>So, Sonny, before we let you go, I'm really curious

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>what happens when all the stars go in? Then what

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>do you do? Do you just go, oh, okay, that's

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>me done. I go back to my hotel. Do you

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>put together your stories? What do you do?

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, basically you don't finish there. Generally, I didn't have

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to go and do any of the after parties, but

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>they go on all night and there's a lot. Then
