Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of The Sunday Sit Down Podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

I got a good one for you this week with five time Academy Award nominee, Michelle Williams.

She's of course one of the biggest stars in Hollywood but more importantly one of its

most respected actors.

Her latest Oscar nomination came for her role as Mitsy in the film The Fable Mints,

which is the semi-autobiographical story of Steven Spielberg's life.

You of course directed that film as well.

Got a ton of Oscar nominations and she was nominated for Best Actress.

Her latest project, her next project I should say is called Showing Up.

Independent movie with a friend of hers, the director Kelly Reichart.

She's worked with her four times now.

Wendy and Lucy from 2008 was their first movie together.

You might have seen that.

Michelle Williams says this is kind of where she feels most at home.

Back doing these small independent movies.

Of course she has branched out and done huge iconic films like Broke Back Mountain.

She kind of is capable of doing it all and it was fun to sit down with her and catch her

on the other side of this busy award season.

All that stuff is behind her.

She's back home in New York.

She got together in Brooklyn where she lives with her husband.
