Toronto filmmaker Sarah Polley’s Sunday night Oscars win was a glorious moment as Canadian (and global) fans shared their joy over her securing her first Academy Award for “Women Talking.”
“It was surreal and wonderful. I mean, I don’t have many words for it. It was just a really beautiful thing to get to experience,” Polley told ET Canada in an interview a day after receiving her Best Adapted Screenplay award.
Even though the writer/director was a frontrunner and a strong Oscar contender, she wasn’t sure she would win, she said. “In fact, I was in an Oscar pool where I bet on ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ and was genuinely shocked. Because it just felt like both from watching how things were going to go to how many more people saw ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, and then surely throughout the night, they were winning everything up until our category. So I was certain that I was not winning. So I think I was able to experience it with just a lot of elation and joy because I think probably the best way of going through things is low expectations.
But it was very, very exciting in a very almost embarrassing way. I was so excited.”
