investigation through the process of looking at his own feelings in an authentic way. he unearthed things they think are very universal to a lot of men, their fathers and their sons and the difficult dynamics of how do we convey what it means to be an adult. what it means to be a man. what are the responsibilities and the opportunities and the connections and there is a lot that people don't grapple with with their parents. what struck me is not only that it was a very rare piece of personal filmmaking but also an enormous number of people would relate to in relationships. >> coming up we have oscars next week. you were nominated for best supporting actor in bird man. what is going through your -- are you excited about that? >> yeah sure. it's a compliment.

plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app
