  • I just can't understand all those critics I read here about Hillary Swank talking too much: I find what she says interresting and honest. She may be speaking a bit more than the other but not THAT much. Overall, a very interresting discussion from them all.

  • What film is Helena talking about? The one that she turned down? I couldn't quite catch the name...

  • @LanaLogan it's called "Breaking the Waves" it came out in 1996. The actress she is referring to is Emily Watson.

  • this guy will ask a question then ask another before he allows then to answer

  • damn Amy Adams never looks like she is 37

  • The actresses left and center here are absolutely delicious in every way possible.

  • I didn't really like one of those actresses before this interview, and now I feel completely different about her (no, not Helena, I've always loved her).

  • As I'm watching this, I'm hanging on Helena's every word, and when everyone else talks, all I hear is the noise the adults make on 'The Peanuts' WohWOhhhOWhohwwohwoohhowhohwoh :P

  • 4 out of 6 of these actresses are geminis. Coincidence?

  • Helena stands out in such a good way

  • hahaha helena she always cracks me up!XD she absolutely can't stay still she's moving like all the time!

  • ive just discovered these round tables, theyre great! actresses/actors discussing their work, they all seem so much more relaxed and natural as opposed to when they are all dressed up on a red carpet or letterman or something like that.

  • The women's panels are so much less pretentious and uncomfortable than the men's panels.

  • @savvysearch The highlight of that was franco's weird expressions xD

  • Jennifer Stone

  • LOVE these Ladies, 1 & all. Theyyyyyyy're Grrrrrrrrreat !!! Fantastic cast.

  • It's Better than the " TALK " !!!

  • My heart belongs to Helena Bonham Carter ♥ But also, How gorgeous are Natalie and Nicole here?!! :D

  • Helena Bonham Carter ♥

  • I LOVE how Natalie Portman played freakin QUEEN Amidala in Star Wars, which is a huge franchise, yet so seems so humble!! It's quite nice to watch!!

    Also, of course, LOVE Helena...she's my favorite person ever :)

  • AMY ADAMS OMFG I LOVE HER

    Back to the actors.

  • so much class i love them all

  • the table isnt very round

    

  • This is my second time watching this. As a writer, I'm amazed at how women are thought of in Hollywood. Guess I just got an invite to work with this great talent!!

  • i love that natalie seems to be n awe of helena, which is great they're both great actresses.

  • Helena is just captivating to watch. Even when not as a character.

  • i love the flow of discussion on the actresses roundtable compared to that of the actors' roundtable

  • They are all such intriguing and intelligent actresses. Such a brilliant dialogue/ banter going on between all of them. It's really interesting to hear about their creative processes, their fears, how they cope with obstacles & where they are willing to go emotionally. I'm sure they all enjoyed the discussion, they seemed to be having fun!

  • I sooooooooooo wanna marry Helena Bonham Carter.. she's just perfect <3

  • i disagree with Nicole. you dont have to have a camera in your hand since birth to be a director. Look at Pete Docter or Andrew Stanton the greats that work with Pixar. they grew up with a pencil instead of a camera and they make classic films. Tom Ford the designer made the oscar film "A Single Man". You just have to have the vision and your good to go.

  • OMG ITS HELENA!!!!!!!!!!!

    MY GODDESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sorry, Had a hand spasm/seizur from the epic awesomeness.

  • I love Annette Bening's personality

  • AHHHH too many white woman! am BLIND!!!

  • Hilary is kind of, really annoying. Its interesting how quiet Nicole is as well.

  • Is it just me who would love Helena and Amy to do a film together? <3

  • Comment removed

  • Good video. Upload the previous years' videos as well - the full versions.

  • i love helena but i think she has ADD lol she can not sit still lol, especially when they talked to anette forever! i wish hilary and nicole talked more and that helena talked even more lol i could listen to helena all day!

  • When Swank is talking about the role she wanted, but eventually lost..The role went Olivia Wilde..The film is "Welcome to People"(2012).

  • @GMVintage I thought it was Elizabeth Banks?

  • @GMVintage Thanks! was wondering what script they were talking about.

  • What an amazing group of women. But Nicole and Natalie should have had more chances to speak.

  • I love how Helena just randomly reaches for the mints :D "I want one and I'm damn well gonna take it right now." :') I love her.

  • Helena Bonham Carter is delightful.

  • hilary is so awkward when she keeps cutting

  • 0:34 natalie portman looks like she gonna lick helen carter

  • What does Helena say at 2:14 ???

  • @BeYourSelf0812 all the time!

  • They're all so fucking inspiring. Just watching actors talk about real things and real feelings and how they are percieved in the world just makes you realize that all the glitz and glamour and the judgmental things people say mean nothing. They're all so beautiful and I know now that I'll never judge any actor ever again based solely on what people say, but by who they are. I hate seeing people talk shit when they know absolutely nothing about the industry.

  • Everyone is saying Hillary talks to much...well she's the first person to speak up when they're all asked a question. When no one wants to be the brave one, she steps up. Go Hilary!

  • natalie really is unbelievably beautiful...

  • bahaha Nicole says Ewan dropped her at 16:11

  • Comment removed

  • Nicole is so deadly pretty it's scary

  • Helena talking like a pirate to princess Natalie "you got any scars?" haha

  • This is like a Star-Actress support group, but is awesome. So much entertaining than the actors interview.

  • Helena stole the whole show.

  • Helena is an inspiration. Benning is a pretend aunt you love to death.

  • Helena is an inspiration.

  • helena and amy make this worth watching

  • Helena NEEDS her own talk show, I could listen to her ramble on about anything for hours. She is such a hilarious, random, gorgeous, amazing, talented and versatile actress, how could you not love her???

  • @BeYourSelf0812 thats a great idea. i have one -ooo how about the bellatix lastrange show where she can call her guest - u filthy half blood . yaaaaaaaaa

  • @BeYourSelf0812 i don't

  • 24:16 Helena's face

  • Helena, Nicole and Amy in one room = Amazing. HBC is totally Hilarious, I would Gladly have watched her talking for an hour :D

  • For those wondering why Hilary is here, it's because she was nominated for a SAG Award for Conviction just like every other woman here for their films. On that note, Hilary love you but other people have stuff to say too. Love you long time still.

  • Bahahahahahaha everyone has one drink of some sort, then bam, go to Helena, she has 4. x)

  • I love and admire all of these women so much. And the epic mint reach haha! The bracelets obnoxious noise...ah geez ya gotta love her.

  • WHY IS HILARY EVEN THERE SHE'S NOT EVEN NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @nicolecreature They were all nominated for SAG awards this past year

  • I just love how every time Helena speaks thing start to turn chaotic. I just think she is sooo brilliant. It was nice to see a open and honest discussion amongst genuinely talented actors with a great deal of experience of the industry. I love how when even these level headed, intelligent ladies start to get carried away talking about all the awards hoopla and expectations of dressing up and always having to look a certain way & then HBC just states the obvious which is.. well... just don't. Sh

  • 26:30 do they talk about "Welcome to People"?

  • Loool Helena and her water :)

  • OMG! I love Helena so much...She's so hilarious. Love the cups too. ^_^

  • Contrast this with the Men's roundtable from this year. The women are much more entertaining and honest. The men were too serious, and when asked if any of them didn't get a role they wanted, all of them lied and said "nope". The men's group needed Robert Downey or James McAvoy or someone like that to take the edge off them.

  • I love when Annette Bening is like " Amy you got it didn't you?" So funny!

  • These women are good-looking, Amy is so pretty and glowing.

  • Hilary swank seems so out of place. I respect her but I just don't really like her. On the other hand HELENA BONHAM CARTER makes this. She is freaking amazing. I love her. :D

  • Why was Hilary Swank there? She wasn't even Oscar nominated this year unlike the others. Michelle Williams should have taken her place.

  • Did anyone notice how Amy saw Helena when she answer the first question it was like "wierd" s 00:15 by the way.

  • Why don't they do these roundtables with more people more often? They are the BEST source of honest information and inspiration from the most important people in hollywood.

  • Now these are REAL actresses

  • *Awkwardly reaches over and takes a mint* I love Helena ^.^

  • I watched the actors roundtable first and i thought that although interesting it was very dry and i was expecting the same from the actresses roundtable but was pleasantly surprised at the banter between the women

  • @XsweetstarliteX what exactly did hbc say?..about having good relationship with the cinematographer..part..errr...­.

  • @pinklavender12 she said that since she wasn't exactly on the most friendly terms with tim burton on sweeney todd (tim apparently was really hard on her since he didn't want to appear to be favoring her on the set), therefore she became friends with the focus boy (cinematographer)...

  • most people here don't like hilaryswank...i couldn't agree more..she IS annoying..and seems 'i am better than all of you'...meh....she acts as if she knows alot more than the rest on that table...

    How i wish merylstreep was with them instead..hehe..but i so love helena and amy!!

  • XsweetstarliteX what exactly did hbc said?..about having good relationship with the cinematographer..part..errr...

  • Helena!...she is super cOol!!..she'S always likE this in interviews!..

    LoVetTe!..

  • for some reason it was hilarious to me when helena snatched that altoid when annette was speaking around the 45 min mark

  • cinematographer? FOCUS BOY. i love her!! keep it real

  • so funny to see the difference begtween this and the actor's, this one is more free/personal/ and everyone talking about family and emotions. So much tougher to be a woman, in general.

  • Oh poor Swank she really doesn't realise how annoying she is, I wish I could hand her a shovel.

    I'm in love with Helena Bonham Carter. That is all.

  • Hilary Swank talked too much

  • Lol @ Nicole's eyebrows at 0:06:27. :D

  • Um what is Hilary even doing here? I mean sure she won an Oscar whatever years ago but she didn't do anything this year. They should've invited Michelle Williams for blue valentine instead.

  • HBC needs a talk show of her own! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! *-*

    about hilary, doesn't matter how good she can be as an actress (what i don't know cause i don't remember watching any movie with her), i wouldn't pay her a cent to work with me.. actually she should pay the poor directors that have to stand her! what a bitch!

  • Nicole Kidman is amazing!!!

  • In which country was this filmed?

  • Ugh shut up Hilary. Why isn't Natalie talking more!

  • @nicolecreature Because she's equally annoying!

  • @sharapovaisback2 I don't think she is. I think she's just more shy than the others.

  • Gosh, they seem so down to earth. I had no idea Helena was married to Steven spielburg!

  • @missalc13 Shes not married to Steven Spielberg she's married to Tim Burton

  • @iLuvAkeys4ever oh wow. thats funny i swear i put tim burton. oops lol.

  • @missalc13 she's not, she's married to tim burton

  • kidman seems like a cold bitch

  • @Sharapovaisback2 Not as much as Kate Winslet!

  • Haha Helena with her three different drinks as per usual :') I never really thought about Natalie Portman being a good actress or anything, but she looks so sweet here

  • gosh Helena is fantastic, i love her expresion on the minute 27:38

  • wow there's a huge difference between the actors roundtable and the actress roundtable! They laugh, talk very much and they have flowers! hahaha

  • @missimanful The actor's round table was truly awkward to watch. Wow.

  • @VoidedMirror

    yeah, actually it was, but I kinda enjoyed it... It was intersting.

  • I think they are in the same room as the "actor's roundtable", but everything seems brighter, cleaner, and there are even flowers on the table. The poor guys got jipped!

  • I love Helena Bonham Carter. She just steals the whole interview for me.

  • Wtf these women in the same room have an amazing rapsheet: fight club-star wars-american beauty-the fighter-million dollar baby HOLY SHIT

  • lol Helena and her many cups

  • @ekjasdevi ahaha like normal:)

  • This is SO less awkward then the Actors Round table. They're so intelligent and adorable and lovely these actresses.

  • god. i can't believe i just found out about videos like these, roundtable sorts. they're almost better than the films. i'm gonna find more now. thanks so much for uploading whoohoo~

  • LMFAO i'm not even 10 seconds into the video and i'm already laughing out loud. i LOVE that the first thing i notice is helena's 4 drinks compared to everyone else's 1. I LOVE HERRR<3

  • this table is not round. tis a rectangle. lol but i loved this, my favorite is helena<3

  • i want to chop hilary's hands off. GO NATALIE <3

  • This is an amazing ensemble of actresses! My favorites are Nicole and Natalie. They are both STUNNING! I love Hilary too, she's got a great range. All of them do :)

    Great interview!

  • Comment removed

  • blowjob sandwich from amy and natalie?

  • @southerndandy89 ??? Care to explain???

  • Congrats Nic! We are all Very proud of you back home! S & J XOXO

  • Annette Benning's presence is really intense...her Charisma is amazing

  • Hahah everyone has their glass cups of water, and then you see Helena with her diet coke, cup of something, glass of water.... She's always drinking stuff hahahah! I love her so much!

    And shut up Hillary.

  • I wouldve LOVED to see this interview without Hillary there. Nic, Helena and Annette <3

  • ahhhh hilary shut up.

  • amy adams is super pretty!

  • Is anyone else finding Hilary to be an annoying no it all? Just cause you got two oscars doesnt mean your that great.

  • Lol look at Amys face at the beginning when Helena makes that joke lmao.

  • LOL @ 0:43:45 when Helena gets an altoid. So funny to me for some reason.

  • what is Helena talking about at about 0:33:00 I don´t really get the story

  • Each time Amy and Natalie laugh, I think life is worth living. ...and I also get kinda horny!

  • if you look up pushy in a dictionary, Hilary's face should be there

  • I LOVE Annette Bening! And I love that she & Colin are close! Both are great actors, and I loved them in Valmont.

  • This isn't the Hilary Swank hour. [it should be the HBC hour, though!!! <3]

  • Awesome group of women that they got together!!! A million times better than the guys interview. Curious what role Hilary really wanted but didn't get!?!?!

  • AHAHHAH AMYYY im not getting into this! love her<3

  • hilary swank talks with her hands A LOT haha

  • I love Helena and Annette :))

  • and for those who are wondering why hillary swank is there. other than nicole up to the poinnt of them filming this hillary is the only person who has an oscar and she has two. annette has none and is older hollywood is shit.

  • notice when the interviewer asks any regrets fuck em oh god what am i saying thats what they want please someone plan a terrorist attack on hollywood and leave everyday people alone.

  • I watched the whole fucking hour -.- I even went back to certain parts.

  • Helena is just beautiful <3

  • Damn that guy sitting in front of Helena. You can hardly see her!

  • Annette starts pulling her sleeves as if ready to punch someone in the face the moment Hilary starts talking.=))))

  • tell us his name! tell us his name!

  • natalie portman and helena bonham carter are my favorite actresses in the world.

    natalie is so sweet and helena is just so funny!!

  • Oh my God, Helena Bonham Carter is like Clementine from ETERNAL SUNSHINE come to life. So adorable and down-to-earth, she alone is what made this roundtable so memorable and sweet. Hilary Swank is occasionally a fine actress but she strikes me as a total name-dropper in this interview. But minor quibble aside, it's really refreshing to see these women very open and connected to each other.

  • 15:59

    wow nicole kidman looks dead and disconnecteed

  • I just love helena - she's so friendly and genuine :) She seems really lovely and she clearly isn't bothered by what people think which is really inspirational :)

    Love nicoles laid back attitude and she seems really nice too and I LOVE her accent!! :)

    Then Amy seems equally lovely! :)

    In short a lovely bunch of people :)

  • I LOVE helena's hair here

    i would love to see her on screen with wavy, but not wild hair

    she should get a nice role - classic beauty, positive character, leading role - where she can show how great she is... and get an oscar next year!

    i mean i feel Hwood doesn't think of her as beautiful (or as beautiful as she actually is), because of her everyday style and recent roles....

  • why is hilary swank in this? she hasn't been nominated/won since million dollar baby. old news!

  • @MsDDiddy omg that what i was thinking maybe she crashed and they were just like i guess

  • OH MY GOD HELENA!!~ ♥

    Helena Helena Helena Helena!!~

  • Helena Bonham Carters face from 00:03:34 - 00:03.38.

    Epic much?

  • I don't think Hilary answered what she was asked once, wow, way to rant and go off topic.
