>> i know that you were working on this for how many years? five years? >> yeah, five and a half years. five and a half years. >> i feel like he must have been hard to let go. >> yeah, very hard to let go. i was working on this for so long, and i put my heart, my everything into it. bob dylan is an american legend and american folk hero. and i hope we did this movie justice. we cover the early period of his life in 1961 and 1965, and cover bob's traversing from the folk movement of america into rock and roll, into going electric. >> the acclaimed cast includes two more oscar nominees, monica barbaro as joan baez and edward norton as folk legend pete seeger. >> the ship comes in. >> he was the exemplar of what it meant to be an artist and a humanist. you know. >> he played him so well. >> oh. thank you. well, i felt i felt a lot of responsibility to his spirit and his family. the whole thing was just a privilege. >> if you could sit down with bob dylan, just the two of you in a room, you get to ask him anything. >> i would just say thank you. thank you for all your your

music and your art. not even thank you for the opportunity. just thank you for everything you've already given to american culture, because we're all better off for it. >> i did sit down with bob dylan in a room. >> one conversation that will stay with you forever. >> he talked about the loneliness of being a folk singer, that when you're all alone on stage, that part of his desire to ultimately have a band wasn't based on changing music history, but was just that. that he yearned to have a band and friends. >> if bob dylan's writing period was so prolific in the early 60s, some people said it was almost as if god was speaking through bob. i feel like i had a smidgen of that, of that grace wash off on me. >> i'm joelle gargiulo, abc news. >> from all the glamor on the red carpet to the emotional acceptance speeches, catch all the oscar magic sunday right here on abc seven. and for the first time, the oscars will stream live on hulu as well. disney, of course, the parent company of hulu and abc seven. >> all right, let's update the forecast one last time as we get a fairly nice stretch of weather.

6:53 pm
it was a perfect day at chase center yesterday. not only did the warriors win and jimmy butler's home debut against the mavericks, but the headliner, andre iguodala. number nine jersey retirement. his medallion you see right there was unveiled outside chase center in the morning before the game. and then after the game his number nine lifted high up into the chase center rafters. the four time nba champ, 2015 nba finals mvp, became just the seventh player in franchise history to have his number retired. that is quite an honor and becomes the first in this championship era to earn that distinction. >> what i saw from the organization, what i saw from the players, the coaching staff, i saw something special building, and i saw the joy in the game of basketball. one thing i did know was put myself in a position to help others be
6:54 pm
great. and we had a perfect team, perfect setup, not just on the court, but on the coaching staff, front office. >> andre coming to this team really was the beginning in many, many ways of this great dynasty. and he was, you know, all puzzles, all teams are puzzles. all organizations are puzzles. you have to have the right pieces. he was the critical piece, in my opinion, in our opinion, to why this team became as great as it is. >> that was the first time i kind of noticed or was aware, like, hey, you know, guys see what we're capable of? and a guy like andre who's, you know, one of the smartest guys in any room he walks into. and when he, you know, came with that energy of, i love i love what you're doing. i love how y'all do it. congrats. whatever. whatever he said to then be able to get him in free agency that unlocked just so much confidence for us that we're on the right path and the rest is history. >> it sure is. jimmy butler scored 18 points and was a plus 28 in his home debut. that means
6:55 pm
the warriors were very, very effective when he was on the floor. dubs improved to five and one since he's joined the lineup, and jimmy became just the first player in franchise history to have 120 plus points, 30 plus rebounds, 30 plus assists through his first six games with the team. that's pretty good. i caught up with warriors great hall of famer rick barry to get his take on butler's impact. >> well, i think they need a player like jimmy because now you have another player with five seconds to go. you can put the ball in jimmy's hands and he can make something happen. and that's a rare thing to find in a player. and i think, i personally think i'm seeing a renewed enthusiasm from jimmy and the way he's approaching the game, and he's not a selfish player by any stretch of the imagination. and so he's an important cog. he gets his shot going. this team could be very dangerous. so i'm the eternal optimist. so i'm pulling for him. >> i think all of dub nation is pulling for jimmy and the warriors. just last week i was in arizona checking in with the giants ahead of a crucial 2025 campaign. the orange and black are looking to get back to the postseason for the first time since 21. they clinched the nl west that year with a franchise
