Kenneth Branagh and Janet McTeer have a conversation at the Oscar Nominees Luncheon held in Beverly Hills on Monday, February 6, 2012.
Branagh is a Best Supporting Actor contender for Simon Curtis' My Week with Marilyn, in which he plays Laurence Olivier directing/co-starring with Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams) in The Prince and the Showgirl.

Kenneth Branagh was previously nominated for Oscars for Henry V (1989) as Best Actor and Best Director, for the live-action short film Swan Song (1992), and for the adapted screenplay of Hamlet (1995), which he also directed/starred in, alongside Julie Christie and Kate Winslet. Laurence Olivier, I should add, was a Best Actor nominee for Henry V (1946) and Hamlet (1948), both of which Olivier also directed. Hamlet was the year's Best Picture winner, while Olivier took home the Best Actor Oscar.
