1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:06,940
Task 2. You will watch part of an interview. Read through the notes below and complete them

2
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:14,240
by filling in the gaps with the exact words you hear. Gap 0 is an example. Now, read the notes.

3
00:01:40,329 --> 00:01:44,489
He is a Golden Globe, Tony, and Emmy Award winning actor, and now he has scored his

4
00:01:44,489 --> 00:01:50,609
fifth Emmy nomination for his role in Bad Education. Good morning, Hugh Jackman. Thanks

5
00:01:50,609 --> 00:01:55,689
for being with us. Congratulations. Congratulations on the Emmy nomination. As we mentioned,

6
00:01:55,689 --> 00:02:00,969
it's not your first, but interestingly enough, your other big Emmy win was back in 2005 for

7
00:02:00,969 --> 00:02:05,090
hosting the Tony Awards. And you say that was particularly surprising. Why?

8
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:11,490
I didn't know there was a category for that. So when someone rang me and said,

9
00:02:11,550 --> 00:02:15,789
you've been nominated, I was like, I haven't done any TV. Well, I didn't apply. I hadn't

10
00:02:15,789 --> 00:02:19,090
done any in a while. And they said, oh, no, it was for hosting the Tonys. I was like, oh, okay.

11
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:24,909
And so I presumed I wasn't going to win. But I went. I was in LA and I went. And then, yeah,

12
00:02:24,909 --> 00:02:28,969
Lo and behold, I won. It was all very, very surprising. So I have a little more heads up

13
00:02:28,969 --> 00:02:33,469
this time. A little more heads up. But this time, the ceremony is remote due to COVID-19.

14
00:02:33,789 --> 00:02:39,330
So what are your big plans for the night? I will be dressing up from the waist up anyway. I can

15
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:44,650
promise you that. And from someone who's, I've hosted a bunch of award shows, the Tonys, the

16
00:02:44,650 --> 00:02:50,169
Oscars. I can tell you, by the way, I can't tell you who, I wish I could. I remember in the first

17
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:55,629
commercial break at the oscars i looked down and two very big a-list movie stars were pulling hip

18
00:02:55,629 --> 00:03:02,629
flasks out of their jacket pocket super slim line and i was like oh that's how you get through these

19
00:03:02,629 --> 00:03:08,289
things so in this case virtually it's just going to be like an aussie bar literally just under the

20
00:03:08,289 --> 00:03:12,830
camera right in front of me just there great great great way to do it we know you have this long

21
00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:18,509
running feud with your buddy ryan reynolds and um he sent you a congratulatory message when he

22
00:03:18,509 --> 00:03:22,289
found out you were nominated for an Emmy, but it was a little snarky. So have you checked on him

23
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:28,650
since? And how's he doing? I check on Blake all the time. I just can't imagine what this whole

24
00:03:28,650 --> 00:03:35,909
isolation has been like. I mean, really, that's months in the same house with Ryan. So I check on

25
00:03:35,909 --> 00:03:39,330
her all the time. She really, really appreciates that. I think it's been very difficult

26
00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:45,990
for her. But no, Ryan and I, it's, you know, it's sort of like big brother, little brother.

27
00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:49,110
And so I just keep trying to take the high road all the time.

28
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:50,509
It's very difficult training.

29
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:55,189
I just, you know, I'm trying to teach him that, you know, he won't listen.

30
00:03:56,550 --> 00:04:00,569
Hugh, this is being called one of your most powerful performances yet.

31
00:04:00,729 --> 00:04:05,530
This is the true story of the largest public school embezzlement in American history.

32
00:04:05,849 --> 00:04:09,289
You play Dr. Frank Tassone, the man who's at the center of it.

33
00:04:09,289 --> 00:04:11,409
But you say you don't think of him as a villain.

34
00:04:11,569 --> 00:04:11,930
Why not?

35
00:04:13,430 --> 00:04:14,069
No, I don't.

36
00:04:14,069 --> 00:04:19,089
Actually, that's one of the reasons I wanted to do this, because he's human, who erred.

37
00:04:19,490 --> 00:04:20,329
He went to jail.

38
00:04:20,529 --> 00:04:26,990
He ended up paying all the $2.2 million back, and he regrets it completely.

39
00:04:27,110 --> 00:04:29,370
So I was more interested in how does that happen?

40
00:04:29,490 --> 00:04:34,290
How do good people, he was one of the best, if not the best superintendent in the country,

41
00:04:34,430 --> 00:04:39,089
devoted his life to being a teacher and then being an administrator in public schools.

42
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:41,290
How do people go that far off?

43
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:42,189
How does it happen?

44
00:04:42,189 --> 00:04:47,790
how does a culture somehow make things okay when we know they're not that's what really

45
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:52,709
interested me it's sort of a cautionary tale but i don't the dogs could not be eating more

46
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:58,829
loudly in the background they really have no respect for you guys i'm so sorry it's called

47
00:04:58,829 --> 00:05:02,990
interviews interviews during quarantine things like that happen you're at home we absolutely

48
00:05:02,990 --> 00:05:06,850
understand it we absolutely get it and um you know let's take a look we're gonna take a 30 minute

49
00:05:06,850 --> 00:05:13,889
32nd look at a clip of bad education here we go check it out you stole from the schools

50
00:05:13,889 --> 00:05:21,069
and from from the taxpayers from from the kids we're supposed to serve i think this

51
00:05:21,069 --> 00:05:28,629
kind of behavior goes beyond the bounds of immoral it's it's cruel it's it's heinous it's it's

52
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:36,089
sociopathic even sociopathic shameless self-interest the the the unstable personality

53
00:05:36,089 --> 00:05:38,209
the parade of rotten marriages.

54
00:05:39,269 --> 00:05:39,750
Frank!

55
00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:45,810
And this apparently was your first time

56
00:05:45,810 --> 00:05:48,569
working with the wonderful Allison Janney.

57
00:05:48,649 --> 00:05:50,189
You two go head-to-head throughout the movie.

58
00:05:50,290 --> 00:05:51,069
What was that like?

59
00:05:52,589 --> 00:05:54,250
I'm so glad you showed that scene

60
00:05:54,250 --> 00:05:57,329
because if you imagine when the camera was on her,

61
00:05:57,449 --> 00:05:59,410
my face was literally next to the camera

62
00:05:59,410 --> 00:06:02,209
for about an hour while she did that scene.

63
00:06:02,350 --> 00:06:03,250
And I remember thinking,

64
00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:05,990
wow, I did four years of study at drama school

65
00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:08,410
and I could have traded all of that in for that hour.

66
00:06:08,410 --> 00:06:14,850
like she's it was a master class she's so the ability to still be funny in scenes where there's

67
00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:22,529
tears coming down her face her the nuances she's astonishing and you know she ad-libs she's open

68
00:06:22,529 --> 00:06:28,069
she's she loves it and you know it's just for me one of those great examples there's someone who

69
00:06:28,069 --> 00:06:33,290
was a broadway sort of staple a legend really on broadway for years before the west wing happened

70
00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:38,149
and i'm thrilled she's getting all the kudos she deserves well it was a great castle round i have

71
00:06:38,149 --> 00:06:41,970
to say. It was amazing. It really is. And we've seen the movie and you're getting the kudos you

72
00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:48,250
deserve as well. And another reason to celebrate this morning, Wolverine is streaming on Disney

73
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:52,569
Plus now. It's been 20 years since your first performance as Wolverine. Does it surprise you

74
00:06:52,569 --> 00:06:56,370
that 20 years later, two decades later, people are still talking about your character?

75
00:06:57,430 --> 00:07:02,889
Man, I remember. So that was my first movie in America. And I had two or three friends in the

76
00:07:02,889 --> 00:07:06,930
business say, hey, dude, before this movie comes out, the word on the street is this is not good.

77
00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:11,290
make sure you booked another film that way at least you got another shot right so i remember

78
00:07:11,290 --> 00:07:16,990
hustling around la doing in the you know in auditions for just to get something and i got

79
00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:21,490
another film thank god i remember thinking i get one more shot and when it came out no one knew

80
00:07:21,490 --> 00:07:26,529
that was coming no one knew that i would end up playing the role nine times it it it still

81
00:07:26,529 --> 00:08:25,000
surprised me thrills me uh and i'm so grateful to those fans really i am now listen again

82
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:34,929
He is a Golden Globe, Tony and Emmy Award winning actor, and now he has scored his fifth Emmy nomination for his role in Bad Education.

83
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:39,090
Good morning, Hugh Jackman. Thanks for being with us.

84
00:08:39,570 --> 00:08:42,409
Congratulations. Congratulations on the Emmy nomination.

85
00:08:42,509 --> 00:08:49,870
As we mentioned, it's not your first, but interestingly enough, your other big Emmy win was back in 2005 for hosting the Tony Awards.

86
00:08:49,909 --> 00:08:52,389
And you say that was particularly surprising. Why?

87
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:55,789
I didn't know there was a category for that.

88
00:08:55,789 --> 00:09:01,690
So when someone rang me and said, you've been nominated, I was like, I haven't done any TV.

89
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:02,870
Well, I didn't apply.

90
00:09:03,009 --> 00:09:03,649
I hadn't done any in a while.

91
00:09:03,730 --> 00:09:05,490
And they said, oh, no, it was for hosting the Tonys.

92
00:09:05,549 --> 00:09:06,370
I was like, oh, OK.

93
00:09:06,549 --> 00:09:08,090
And so I presumed I wasn't going to win.

94
00:09:09,110 --> 00:09:09,809
But I went.

95
00:09:09,870 --> 00:09:10,830
I was in L.A. and I went.

96
00:09:10,970 --> 00:09:13,289
And then, yeah, lo and behold, I won.

97
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:14,789
It was all very, very surprising.

98
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:16,610
So I have a little more heads up this time.

99
00:09:16,850 --> 00:09:17,889
A little more heads up.

100
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:20,710
But this time the ceremony is remote due to COVID-19.

101
00:09:21,070 --> 00:09:22,850
So what are your big plans for the night?

102
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:28,970
I will be dressing up from the waist up anyway I can promise you that and from someone who's

103
00:09:28,970 --> 00:09:35,049
I've hosted a bunch of award shows the Tonys the Oscars I can tell you by the way I can't tell you

104
00:09:35,049 --> 00:09:39,409
who I wish I could I remember in the first commercial break out of the Oscars I looked down

105
00:09:39,409 --> 00:09:45,350
and two very big A-list movie stars were pulling hip flasks out of their jacket pocket

106
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:52,250
super slim line and I was like oh that's how you get through these things so in this case virtually

107
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:56,690
it's just going to be like an aussie bar literally just under the camera right in front of me just

108
00:09:56,690 --> 00:10:02,029
there great great great way to do it we know you have this long-running feud with your buddy ryan

109
00:10:02,029 --> 00:10:06,549
reynolds and um he sent you a congratulatory message when he found out you were nominated

110
00:10:06,549 --> 00:10:10,629
for emmy but it was a little snarky so have you checked on him since and how's he doing

111
00:10:10,629 --> 00:10:17,429
i check on blake all the time i just can't imagine what this whole isolation has been like i mean

112
00:10:17,429 --> 00:10:24,850
really that's months in the same house with ryan so i check on her all the time she really really

113
00:10:24,850 --> 00:10:31,769
appreciates that i think it's been very difficult for her um but no ryan and i it's uh you know it's

114
00:10:31,769 --> 00:10:36,149
sort of like big brother little brother and so i just keep trying to take the high road all the

115
00:10:36,149 --> 00:10:42,090
time it's very difficult training but i just you know i'm trying to teach him that you know he

116
00:10:42,090 --> 00:10:48,529
and listen. Hugh, this is being called one of your most powerful performances yet. This is

117
00:10:48,529 --> 00:10:53,629
the true story of the largest public school embezzlement in American history. You played

118
00:10:53,629 --> 00:10:58,490
Dr. Frank Tassone, the man who's at the center of it, but you say you don't think of him as a

119
00:10:58,490 --> 00:11:04,370
villain. Why not? No, I don't. Actually, that's one of the reasons I wanted to do this, because

120
00:11:04,370 --> 00:11:11,909
he's human who erred. He went to jail. He ended up paying all the $2.2 million back, and

121
00:11:11,909 --> 00:11:18,870
he regrets it completely so I was more interested in how does that happen how do good people he was

122
00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:23,070
one of the best if not the best superintendent in the country you know devoted his life to

123
00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:28,590
being a teacher and then being an administrator in public schools how do people go that far off

124
00:11:28,590 --> 00:11:34,509
how does it happen how does a culture somehow make things okay when we know they're not that's

125
00:11:34,509 --> 00:11:39,269
what really interested me it's sort of a cautionary tale but I don't the dogs could

126
00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:44,950
not be eating more loudly in the background. I really have no respect for you guys. I'm

127
00:11:44,950 --> 00:11:49,789
so sorry. It's called interviews during quarantine. Things like that happen. You're at home. We

128
00:11:49,789 --> 00:11:53,370
absolutely understand it. We absolutely get it. And, you know, let's take a look. We're

129
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:58,129
going to take a 30 minute, 30 second look at a clip of bad education. Here we go. Check

130
00:11:58,129 --> 00:12:05,809
it out. You stole from the schools, Pam, from the taxpayers, from the kids we're supposed

131
00:12:05,809 --> 00:12:13,730
to serve. I think this kind of behavior goes beyond the bounds of immoral. It's cruel. It's

132
00:12:14,929 --> 00:12:22,649
heinous. It's sociopathic even. Sociopathic? What? Shameless self-interest, the unstable

133
00:12:22,649 --> 00:12:33,090
personality, the parade of rotten marriages. Frank! And this apparently was your first time

134
00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:37,710
working with the wonderful Allison Janney. You two go head-to-head throughout the movie. What

144
00:13:29,090 --> 00:13:34,649
you deserve as well and another reason to celebrate this morning wolverine is streaming

145
00:13:34,649 --> 00:13:39,730
on disney plus now it's been 20 years since your first performance as wolverine does it surprise

146
00:13:39,730 --> 00:13:43,690
you that 20 years later two decades later people still talking about your character

We were hustling around LA doing auditions just to get something and I got another film

151
00:14:04,830 --> 00:14:05,830
thank God.

152
00:14:05,830 --> 00:14:09,870
I remember thinking, I get one more shot and when it came out, no one knew that was coming.

153
00:14:09,870 --> 00:14:13,470
No one knew that I would end up playing the role nine times.

154
00:14:13,470 --> 00:15:26,059
It still surprises me, thrills me and I'm so grateful to those fans, really I am.

155
00:15:26,059 --> 00:15:27,539
This is the end of task two.
