Hugh Jackman gave instruction to the future leading ceremony "Oscar" Seth Makfarlene: "The first 45 minutes you will have the best spectators in your life, because everyone in this room will be worried much more than you. They just laugh. Maybe they don't even listen to you, But laugh. But in 45 minutes later, more winners and losers appear in the hall, and you should finish it all sooner. That's all I did. I think the set will cope well. I saw the announcement of nominees. It was five in the morning, and he was So funny! " The actor spoke about his nervous speech: "It was at the very beginning of my career. I had to sing a national anthem on the Australian Super Cup. At night I had a panic attack. Deb came to me and asked what I'm doing. I replied What is just cutting carrots. She said: "You take her one and a half hours." In those days, Hugh was still a novice actor, and his appearance on the stage caused violent discontent with the audience, but he was still able to fulfill the anthem and very proud of it.
Jessica Chestain joined Hugh as a guest's guest. "Jessica gave me an excellent advice," Jackman said. "I put it right next to the Oscar statuette about three minutes. And I told Jessica:" My whole will of the will goes out to not substitute the Oscar's barking ears. "She replied:" This is insanely funny, but do not do this. " "I thought he was going to substitute the ears to me!" - explained Jessica.
