If Julianne Moore snags an Oscar for her emotional wallop of a performance in Still Alice, don’t be surprised if she thanks the filmmakers from that other small movie of hers from this year, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1.

“I wouldn’t have done Still Alice if it weren’t for their generosity. They owned me for the year,” said Moore following a CAA-hosted screening as part of the second annual Cinema Prive and Pandora Jewelry screening series. “I went to our producer Jon Kilik, and he said, ‘Absolutely.’ It was incredible. They boarded me in and out. That doesn’t happen often.”
