Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Laura Dern (Wild), Patricia Arquette (Boyhood), Hilary Swank (The Homesman), Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Reese Witherspoon (Wild) and Amy Adams (Big Eyes) discuss their critically acclaimed roles in 2014.

"It's an added responsibility isn't it?" Hilary Swank, the leading actress in "The Homesman" asks the actress roundtable regarding playing a real-life person who is still alive. "The challenge of just acting in general and telling the story as honestly as possible but then when you have someone and they're still alive, it's an added challenge." Patricia Arquette from "Boyhood" discusses how the movies low-budget really added to the authenticity of the emotional experience of the production. Julianne Moore shares with the ladies that her most challenging moment in her career so far was going to the Golden Globes six weeks after her son was born. "Wild" actress Reese Witherspoon discusses that her most embarrassing moment in Hollywood was when a casting director accused her of playing the character "stoned" during an audition. Laura Dern shares with her colleagues that her most excruciating moment in Hollywood was when her dog got her period on Scott Baio's white leisure pantsuit. Felicity Jones confesses that the actresses' careers she would most like to emulate are all sitting at the roundtable around her. "I know that seems very cheesy and cliched but I'm actually being truthful," the Oscar-nominee shares.
