Charlie Rose Listens

Charlie Rose is one of the best interviewers on television. Not only because he writes good copy and asks interesting and probing questions but also because he then listens allowing the interviewee to speak.

Around Oscar time Charlie interviews leading candidates. His website is filled with his excellent interviews from past and present. Recently he interviewed critics David Denby of the New Yorker and A. O. Scott of the New York Times right after the Oscar nominations were announced.

Here is the Scott/Denby interview.

Check the article on Sean Penn in Milk on this blog for the interview with Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn and others from the cast and crew of Milk.

And do not miss this interview with Mickey Rourke. What a turn-a-round for Mickey Rourke as an actor and as a person. A very different side of him from the side the media has been portraying based on some of his so-called faux-pas during his acceptance speeches.
