Ethan Hawke and Paul Giamatti Discuss THE HOLDOVERS

- Nominated for 5 Academy Awards, Alexander Payne's THE HOLDOVERS is a quiet masterpiece that's being declared “the best picture of the year.”
For your consideration in all categories.
From acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them -- a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) -- and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).

I went to an early screening of The Holdovers without any prior knowledge of what it might be about. To say I was completely enthralled by such a film would be an understatement. It brings me so much joy to see all the praise and critical acclaim it has received. It deserves nothing less.
😅😅😅45😅5hg6t😅4g😅4t😅😮😮😮😅😮😅
It's a wonderful film. I knew I would like it but i LOVED it SO MUCH
Ethan's statement about how British actors are better trained in getting into character and then letting go of that character reminds of the Laurence Olivier quote to Dustin Hoffman. When Dustin when method acting and tormenting himself, Olivier said "Why not try acting dear boy?"
This was my favourite movie of last year. I remember feeling some Dead Poets vibes after so what a treat that Ethan was moderating this conversation.
One of the details i appreciated most in Giamattis performance in Holdovers is the wqy he walks. He puts the entire foot flat on the ground instead of touching the groumd with his heel first. It makes perfect sense because of the snow. His character must have spent half his life in the snow and he's the kind of guy who just doesn't want to slip, probably did that already too many times so he walks that way to prevent himself from slipping. What a fantastic choice!
Two of our greatest actors. And funny as hell. “I don’t care about him”... “Fuck Crudup”. Fantastic conversation!
Paul’s brilliant performance as Miles in “Sideways” had everything…it was hysterical, enthralling & sentimental.
I watched it over the years many times, and couldn’t imagine any other performance exceeding it! Until…his astounding performance in “The Holdovers”.
This was a master class.
And performances of co-stars Dominic & Da’Vine were sensational.👏👏👏
We’re rooting for Paul’s Oscar…It’s time! 🏆
Paul is such a perfectly unique and amazing leading man. He makes every scene interesting and every project he's in worth watching.
These are 2 actors who have been on the scene a long time, and have considerable bodies of interesting work behind them.
he really deserves Best Actor for this film. it's a long overdue award, of course, so he REALLY deserves it now, as a representation of his entire career up to this point.
“Fuck Crudup!”😂😂
God, I love this man.
Please, please, please do that P.I. thing with Alexander, Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I already know it'll be my favourite film.
Ethan Hawke goated interviewer haha
17:54 actually had me crying
what a sincere, profound moment
Two of the modern Greats. Love these guys
Paul has had such a great career. And his nomination for the Oscar along with Mr. Wright has certainly classed up the award.
I felt the same way about Ethan in First Reformed. All the characters he had played were for him to learn his craft and better understand people to play that role.
That was a hell of a film. And just when you think he's going to end it all, in a particularly painful and revolting way, he is redeemed.
Love this! And, as an actor, I enjoyed the discussion about doing the work, particularly the whole thing about building and then letting go of a character. I think Ethan’s comment about the British training is somewhat true. I don’t know that they’re particularly better trained but they are more consistently trained (if that makes sense) and there is something about the confidence of having that consistency and the greater support of a society that cherishes the theater and that long tradition that lets one feel more relaxed or easy in the work… maybe 😂
I could listen to those guys for hours, love them both
I saw it yesterday, it really is a good movie, beautifully acted and shot, a bit slow but that is refreshing in a time where everybody’s attention span is 10 milliseconds. It indeed has that 70’s vibe somehow it made me think of blues brothers, the way it is shot the outdoors scenes. And every actor in it brings their A-game, Dominic Sessa is bizarely good, knowing now that it is his first film.
It has a bit of that "weekday after-school movie" to it. Not at all slick or highly produced, but more gritty and human.
Great chat! Two of the best
I love them both. Amazing actors, great people!
it was kinda like this generation's 'dead poets society'. i really loved this movie
couple of New Yorkers!!! Hasn't Paul Giamatti always been Full bloom, is that his Genius.
I loved The Holdovers!
Always a great convo with ethan. Great interviewing
Love love this conversation!!!!!!!
Fantastic film. Really, really, loved it.
The lesson of total selflessness is a lesson we need in our society right now….thank you for your performance.
PS… my son had your Mom as his high school English teacher… she was great.
Amazing. I was thinking about PSH at the beginning of this video and it’s amazing he got brought up
Most wonderful movie of the last five years, maybe. Giamatti is the best.
This was perfect-both men did an outstanding job and made me respect their work even more.
Definite Dead Poets Society vibes in the Holdovers.
i'm enjoying this...
loved Paul in JOHN ADAMS and PRIVATE PARTS. have yet to the THE HOLDOVERS. loved Hawke in THE GOOD LORD BIRD (which i own).
Loved this!
Sandra Oh interview with Holdover stars is very good.
Two thoughtful and generous artists here.
what a great conversation is this
I really wouldnt mind if cillian murphy won the Oscar, but I would love for Paul Giamatti to win for this movie.
These are two guys if I had a chance to meet to talk for a time, would be a real treasure for me ... both are in my very favorite of films.
Two fine artists.
Two GOATs with goaties.
what a lovely film in all aspects
I love this that’s awesome
Adobe Enhance working overtime for those audience questions
Just subtitle the distant voice next time guys
Next time maybe let us decide whether we want subtitles, por favor. Thanks!
snowflake. let the people enjoy subtitles.
There's a lot to like and respect in both Hawke and Giamatti.
I wonder if the British actor that Hawke didn’t name is actually Mark Rylance…?
Both these guys would make great teachers.
I thought he might mean Jude Law (from back with GATTACA)
Giamatti should have won an Oscar.
Paul has grown on me.
What _what what??_ Was Ethan Hawke in The Holdovers??
I've seen it twice and I didn't notice him? HOW?? (is he the Viet vet with the prosthetic arm? Have I _had a stroke??_ ) 🤨
EDIT: Ok phew, it's just random interview (maybe with EH being in Dead Poets society as the connexion, I suppose.)
Best actors ever
To anyone who loves this actor and hasn't seen Sideways? Its an absolute must.
Not to mention the Hal Ashby pictures they talk about - like The Last Detail (1975) and Harold and Maude (1971)
Just '70s movie perfection! ❤
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 just great
Paul kept trying to recognize Da’vine, but was cut off at every turn. The movie was excellent, but she is really who made the movie special for me.
Paul better win that Oscar lol, he definitely earned it imho with The Holdovers.
He was great but Murphy's a lock.
Paul is such a monster actor
I wish he would let giamatti speak more often. Giamatti is being interviewed, yes?
Probably get another head of cabbage. And I guess don't forget the spaghetti sauce
Hahahaha, I was watching this interview and texting my wife at the same time. Oops...
Ethan Hawke is world class
More Giamatti films😅 detective, horror..😊
DaVine Joy Randolph should play Hattie McDaniel
Nice men.
I like Denzel Washington, but if he said that he must have a huge ego. Imagine thinking "the academy award is now more prestigious because I have one".
That is not what he said - and Ethan Hawke was paraphrasing too - Denzel was generalizing that you, or anyone, should not want an award to boost yourself - you should want the award to be legitimized by its choosing great work, actors etc. *not* Denzel Washington, himself, in particular.
He said, quoting Denzel, "you don't want the award to elevate your status, you want to elevate the status of the award". Then he said to Paul, "the award is now more prestigious because you have been nominated". It sounds like he's saying the actor is so prestigious that him receiving the award elevates the status of the award. If it was just the Denzel quote, I would agree with you, but what he said to Paul changes the meaning. Or maybe Ethan misunderstood what Denzel meant. @@chrisa0001
Is that really what u took from that ? Lmfao. Man sometimes I can just perceive what someone is like based off the comments they leave under vids because, this is such a ludicrous reaction to a great quote.
I'm just going by what he said. You can read whatever you want into it.@@JT_1998
Why are there English subtitles for people speaking English? Its really distracting
not sure why they put them in but lot of us appreciate them, I put subtitles on everything I watch 🤷♂️
Distracting? What are you a toddler?
@@laurakali6522no I’m not, you’re clearly an arsehole though. There are subtitle options available for people who are hearing impaired or in an environment where they can’t listen to the audio. There is no reason to read subtitles if you can hearing is fine, the audio is of decent quality (which it was) and you understand the language
Old actors
like a good wine.
