Speaker 1: Well, Hazy tuned into Channel seven on the weekend and
Speaker 1: saw some beautiful work from this beautiful lady, Sonya Krueger
Speaker 1: on the champagne carpet at the Oscars.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Sonya, good morning. That's a tricky thing to say.
Speaker 2: You know, I've been seas to saying red carpet, red carpet,
Speaker 2: red carpet, as soon as you have to say champagne carpet.
Speaker 2: I just couldn't do it. I made so many of
Speaker 2: a stake.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you did a magnificent job. I saw it
Speaker 1: one stage. You were like interviewing Nicole Kidman. These are
Speaker 1: the biggest personalities on the planet. Do you get nervous?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean you do, yes, because you want
Speaker 2: to make sure that, first of all, you can get
Speaker 2: them to you. Because it's a bit of a fight
Speaker 2: on the red carpet because there are a lot of press,
Speaker 2: and the stars don't stop for everybody because if they did,
Speaker 2: they'd never get into the buildings. So but luckily, because
Speaker 2: of Keith Urban having been on The Boys, and I've
Speaker 2: met Nichole a few times, so to come over and
Speaker 2: have a lovely chat and it was really sweet because
Speaker 2: Nicole made special mention of her mom birthday that day. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and it was just really lovely and I could tell
Speaker 2: she was really missing her mom And yeah, so that
Speaker 2: was great. See the Cole and Keith and saz Loman
Speaker 2: and Catherine Martin, all the Aussies kind of banded together
Speaker 2: when you get to somewhere like the Academy Awards, you know, yes,
Speaker 2: it's sort of us against the rest of the world.
Speaker 3: So the Aussies were just lovely. It seemed like they
Speaker 3: did any great interviews. And then oh, Hugh Grants, Sony,
Speaker 3: Hugh Grant a bit of a novel. What are you
Speaker 3: most excited to see tonight?
Speaker 1: To see?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I know that you probably watched a few
Speaker 3: of the movies.
Speaker 2: Are you excited to see anybody?
Speaker 1: When?
Speaker 2: Do you have your hopes up for anyone?
Speaker 3: No one in particular? Okay, well, what are you wearing tonight?
Speaker 1: Then?
Speaker 2: Just my suit? Do you know what? I am a
Speaker 2: massive Hugh Grant fan, and I actually had the opportunity
Speaker 2: to interview him a few years ago for a film
Speaker 2: and I went in and I was just you know,
Speaker 2: being my normal self, backing a few jokes, and he
Speaker 2: was really short and unimpressed and it got to the
Speaker 2: point in the interview where I sort of stopped and
Speaker 2: I said, are you OK? And he was like, what
Speaker 2: do you mean? And I said, we just don't seem
Speaker 2: very happy, and then he completely changed. It was really weird.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's just his natural kind
Speaker 2: of grumpy state that he's in. And I guess he
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily love having to talk to the press. He's
Speaker 2: not he's not really into the chit chat.
Speaker 3: I think we're all just sort of like infatuated with
Speaker 3: the idea that in real life he's like William Thacker
Speaker 3: in notting Hill, but not so No, no, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: well that's true.
Speaker 2: Although I wonder whether Hugh is just very guarded around
Speaker 2: the media, like in real life and with his friends
Speaker 2: when he hangs out he might be that really funny, charismatic,
Speaker 2: warm guy that we want him to be, and he
Speaker 2: just went He just gets his guard up whenever he's
Speaker 2: faced with a reporter or a camera. You know, he's
Speaker 2: had a bit of a history, hasn't he In his life.
Speaker 2: There's been a few things that have gone down for
Speaker 2: few hardon the pun, but there some interesting press a
Speaker 2: while back in a holliad quarter of hollywoodn't find as
Speaker 2: I remember correctly, something like that. So maybe that's why
Speaker 2: he's so guarded speaking to anyone in front of a
Speaker 2: camera and a microphone.
Speaker 1: Well, so now I have to say with absolute validation
Speaker 1: for me on the weekend, because every time I'm asked
Speaker 1: about the worst interview I've ever done a radio it
Speaker 1: was Hugh Grant. He was horrible. He was exactly good,
Speaker 1: exactly like he was on the Weekend.
Speaker 2: So he doesn't like to give you anything. And I
Speaker 2: think some there might be some people out there. It's
Speaker 2: a bit of sport too, you know, like how difficult
Speaker 2: can I make life for this reporter? Yes, but I'll
Speaker 2: tell you what. It tests your metal and it's great experience.
Speaker 2: So for anybody who's thinking about, you know, getting into
Speaker 2: the media, you do have to deal with all types
Speaker 2: of personalities, and that's just one of them.
Speaker 3: Really, this is nice, everyone just uniting as one through
Speaker 3: their poor experiences.
Speaker 2: With you, bonding over you.
Speaker 1: So, Sonny, before we let you go, I'm really curious
Speaker 1: what happens when all the stars go in? Then what
Speaker 1: do you do? Do you just go, oh, okay, that's
Speaker 1: me done. I go back to my hotel. Do you
Speaker 1: put together your stories? What do you do?
Speaker 2: Well, basically you don't finish there. Generally, I didn't have
Speaker 2: to go and do any of the after parties, but
Speaker 2: they go on all night and there's a lot. Then
Speaker 2: there's a Vanity There party, the Elder John Party, Beyonce
Speaker 2: and jay Z how To Party. I had to go
Speaker 2: and do a voiceover for a six o'clock news package
Speaker 2: because we did a whole fashion route for seven News
Speaker 2: and so yes, the job does for the continue on.
Speaker 2: So today we're doing you know, post Oscars Crosses, the
Speaker 2: Sunrise and the morning show this morning on seventh. So
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a festival, isn't it. The festival
Speaker 2: of the Academy Awards. It goes on for a week.
Speaker 1: God, I mean people get really excited by those parties
Speaker 1: with all the celebrities. I'd be like, oh, can I
Speaker 1: just go home by nine thirty I just want to
Speaker 1: go back to the hotel room.
