Search found 1 match: Mark Boal

I thought this excerpt from Jessica Chastain's acceptance of her Golden Globe for best actress was very interesting:

It looked, as she was making her way to the stage, like she was saying "Oh God" over and over again.

"...to the great, great Amy Pascal (Sony Pictures Chairman) for protecting our film; Mark Boal for writing a strong, capable independent woman that stands on her own; and to Katheryn Bigelow, my director. I can't help but compare my character of Maya to you--two powerful, fearless women who allow their expert work to stand before them. You've said that film making for you is not about gender roles; but when you make a film that allows your character to disobey the conventions of Hollywood, you've done more for women in cinema than you take credit for."

George Clooney was the presenter, standing by while she made her comments. She turned to him as she was leaving and spoke, but he only smiled weakly.
