Maggie Gyllenhaal switched gears to write and direct her latest movie, 'The Lost Daughter.' Her screenwriting efforts earned her an Oscar nomination.
Actress, writer and director Maggie Gyllenhaal heads into Oscar Sunday as a nominee for her adapted screenplay for"The Lost Daughter."
The last time she was nominated, it was for her work in front of the camera, for her supporting role opposite Jeff Bridges in the 2009 film,"Crazy Heart." Now, more than a decade later, she is the writer, director and one of the producers of the drama,"The Lost Daughter." The film and Gyllenhaal won big at both the Independent Spirit Awards and The Gotham Awards- best picture, director and screenplay honors. Now, she is honored to be Oscar-nominated for her adapted screenplay of the novel."I've been making movies for 20 years. I know that, I mean, sometimes you make movies that just don't work at all.
"It's in Greece. It's Spetses, this island, Spetses, which is actually lovely. You don't have to have, like, the darkest moments of your life there. You can go and just have a nice time," said Gyllenhaal."I like when I'm in the audience to be respected, to be challenged, to be made to think in a way that I'm not used to thinking. So I just assume, like, let's just get into it and have the most interesting conversation we can have," said Gyllenhaal.
