Additionally, California indie rockers Best Coast won “Best Video Woodie” for “‘Our Deal (Extended Version),” directed by Drew Barrymore.
“Thanks to MTV. There is no venue or company like them,” said Drew Barrymore. “I wanted to tell a story set to the dreamy sounds of Best Coast’s music. I am lucky to have had this opportunity!!! I hope I get another!”

Cameron Diaz scolds Drew Barrymore for leaving lights on.
The two actresses are good friends and appeared in the Charlie’s Angles movies together. Cameron is a keen environmentalist and often takes her pal to task about her wasteful ways.
“No, she just tells me off about the amount of lights we have on in the house!” Drew laughed.
Drew has been in the industry for a long time so she has a lot of showbiz friends. She socialises with people who aren’t involved in film-making too though as it helps keep her feet on the ground.
The star isn’t sure how well she would cope with starting a Hollywood career now as there is so much pressure on young actresses.
“Social media changed everything. It’s a very fast, consuming world out there. I know that I want nothing to do with it. No [I don't Facebook or tweet]. I do for work, but not for personal stuff,” she explained to Look magazine.
“If I could criticise one thing that was tough when I was growing up, it would be the amount of worry I felt inside.”

The 12th season of Turner Classic Movies’ (TCM) signature showcase, The Essentials, will open Saturday, March 3, at 8 p.m. (ET) with the hilarious gender-bending comedy Some Like It Hot (1959). The presentation will mark the debut of Golden Globe® and Screen Actors Guild Award® winner Drew Barrymore as The Essentials‘ new co-host. Each week, she will take the chair opposite TCM host Robert Osborne each week to introduce a hand-picked classic film and offer commentary on its cultural relevance and what makes it a timeless, must-see movie. In addition to Some Like It Hot, the opening night of The Essentials will also feature a special late-night presentation of Rob Reiner’s rock-and-roll mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap (1984).
In the introduction for Some Like It Hot, Barrymore discusses what a huge fan she is of the film starring Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe. “I loved it so much when I was a kid,” she tells Osborne. “I found it so incredibly entertaining. The older I get, the more I appreciate the themes in the movie, and that sort of changes for me as I grow up. Billy Wilder definitely picked the right cast. He picked a cast with great chemistry.”
When it comes to This Is Spinal Tap, Barrymore says, “I couldn’t believe how groundbreaking this film was with its mockumentary style. They’re really having this perfect improv. I just appreciate it more and more and more and more.”
The lineup of movies selected by Barrymore and Osborne for the 12th season of The Essentials includes such enduring classics as George Cukor’s star-studded comedy Dinner at Eight (1933), which features Barrymore’s grandfather, John, and great uncle, Lionel; George Stevens’ comedic romance Alice Adams (1935), starring Katharine Hepburn and Fred MacMurray; William Wyler’s atmospheric version of Wuthering Heights (1939), starring Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon; Howard Hawks’ To Have and Have Not (1944), which paired future spouses Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall for the first time; Carol Reed’s thrilling mystery The Third Man (1949), with Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles; and Charles Vidor’s film noir Gilda (1946), with Glenn Ford and the sensuous Rita Hayworth.
Among the more contemporary films Barrymore and Osborne have chosen for The Essentials are Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore (1974), with an Academy Award®-winning performance by Ellen Burstyn; Herbert Ross’ film with original screenplay by Neil Simon The Goodbye Girl (1977), which earned Richard Dreyfuss an Oscar®; Steven Spielberg’s eye-popping sci-fi drama Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), starring Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon and French New Wave auteur Francois Truffaut; and Robert Benton’s domestic drama Kramer vs. Kramer (1979), with Oscar-winning performances by Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep.
“We’re thrilled Drew will be joining us throughout 2012 on The Essentials,” said Osborne. “I think she’s going to surprise people with her passion for great cinema and her abundant knowledge of film history.”
