Andrew Garfield reacts to Oscar buzz for 'Artificial' after London…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's nine-thirty Eastern, this is The Pile-On: Late, and tonight's story is a movie called Artificial, which doesn't open until December, and its star Andrew Garfield is already hearing Oscar talk.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe plays OpenAI's Sam Altman in the five days in twenty twenty-three when he was fired and then rehired, and Garfield says he's flattered anyone will see it at all.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNobody says that unless they've already picked out the suit, and I smell a campaign, because the last time an actor was this humble was two thousand nine and the whole thing ended badly.

5. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDale, that's the nicest thing a man can say, and I'll go further: five days, fired and hired back, that is the best plot in America, and every office in the country has lived it!

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEvery office is doomed, Chip, and now it has a trailer.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorLet me finish, because if a five-day firing is a movie, then my cousin's three-day sinus infection is a miniseries, and I want it to win something.

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReviews came out of the New York Film Festival last week, and a London crowd gave it a resounding reception. That is the entire story.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorResounding. Which is exactly what they said before the sequel nobody asked for, and this is how the end begins.

10. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOscar buzz in October is just a bee that knows something, Hank.

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA bee that knows something. I've worked with that bee.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEveryone is rooting for a man to play a man who got fired and rehired in five days, and we've now spent longer than that on it.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe have not, Dale, but give it time. This is The Pile-On: Late, and we're back same time tomorrow.
