00:00The Oscar predictions came out today.
00:06You are officially favored to win.
00:13I told him not to talk to the press.
00:17Everybody in this town has some sort of scandal.
00:19Nobody cares anymore.
00:21There is no way I can do this.
00:24Lord, I'm not even sure I understand what you're asking of.
00:34Many theologians consider the Sermon on the Mount to be the most important part
00:37of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
00:39I've had this dream that I'm supposed to be living the Sermon on the Mount in some new way.
00:44Get out of the way, Toby!
00:46What's the problem this time?
00:47I asked her if her pants were the right size.
00:50Wow.
00:51Blessed are the peacemakers.
00:53Peacemakers get shot, bro.
00:54Remember Bosnia?
00:57I'm simply not going to allow your narrow-minded religious agenda to ruin my film.
01:02Let me tell you what's going to ruin your film.
01:04The fact that you're a second-rate hack.
01:05And that's it.
01:06Get off my set!
01:07Hey, I'm sorry about everything that happened today.
01:09I was out of line.
01:10You need this as much as I do.
01:12Are you divorcing Michael because of the affair with Cassandra?
01:14Why was Cassandra there?
01:15Aren't you married?
01:16Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
01:23Have you rejected your faith?
01:24I'm just everything it stands for.
01:26Just admit what you did.
01:28I'm gonna need you to step out of the car.
01:32Annie, I don't know what's going on.
01:34She filed for divorce yesterday.
01:36I think I'm gonna have a panic attack.
01:37We don't have to make this ugly.
01:39Divorce is ugly whether we make it that way or not.
01:42I've been begging God for help.
01:43I don't know what else to do.
01:45I don't think we're gonna make it.
01:47It saddens me really to be forced to host these shots of Tanya and her new man.
01:52Is there a conspiracy against us or what?
01:54Would you stop following me?
02:05Mr. Steele, do you still think you're gonna win?
02:07Why are you avoiding our questions, Mr. Steele?
02:09I can't get anyone to look at you for other stuff
02:12until some of this personal drama clears up.
02:15So basically, if we don't play the next few days right, I lose an Oscar.
02:19No, you're gonna lose more than that.
02:21I don't know what you've done to deserve this.
02:24I don't even believe in God.
02:25I find myself praying for you.
02:28I have to win.
02:39Oh, won't you smile, fall over me?
02:44I'm cracked and dry on hands and knees.
02:51Oh, sweet Christ, rain down on me.
02:56I need your grace.
02:59You find me as to be my God.
03:05I need a voice.
03:07Here we are, one hour away from the Academy Awards.
03:10This has all happened for a reason.
03:11What has happened?
03:12The drivers, the detour, everything.
03:15You're not gonna miss the biggest night of your life
03:16because of some random address on a piece of paper.
03:19Annie says we're all branches
03:21and that we can't produce fruit unless we're attached to the vine.
03:25I may never work again in this town,
03:27but that's no longer what I'm living for.
03:29I need your grace.
