Helena Bonham Carter is nominated for Best Supporting Actress this year for her role in The King’s Speech. She plays the Queen Mother, wife of King George VI, alongside Hollywood heavyweights Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush.

I think Helena would be fun to interview because, frankly, she’s a bit of a wild card. She always shows up to the awards wearing something “fun” (code word for crazy and ridiculous), and she never takes the Oscars madness too seriously. At the Oscars luncheon earlier this week, she took off her shoes at the podium in front of the press because, well, her feet were hurting. 

Here’s hoping Ms. Carter and I can shoot the breeze on the red carpet in a couple weeks!

Check back over the coming days for more updates on celebrities I’d love to interview. And remember to VOTE for David and I to be MTVu’s Oscars Corespondents so I get the chance to actually ask these questions!
