Newsweek video: Oscar Round Table with Firth, Portman, Benning, Franco, Kidman and Williams

NEWSWEEK held its 14th Oscar Roundtable interviewing Oscar nominees: Colin Firth (The King's Speech), Annette Benning (The Kids Are All Right), Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole), Natalie Portman (Black Swan), Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine) and James Franco (127 Hours).

This video features Annette Bening talking about being an actor as well as a parent which leads to Colin's analogy of how actors share many traits with toddlers - "Babying Colin"...




In discussing love scenes, Colin Firth commented: "The worst obstacle to acting in love is really being in love with the other person. Because it’s not controllable. There is no way to harness that and turn it into something that’s useful to you."
