A few weeks ago, Amy Adams made news because her scheduled interview with The Today Show was abruptly canceled on the spot as the actress waited in the green room. She was scheduled to promote her latest film, Big Eyes, on the morning show, and when she did not want to discuss the Sony hacking scandal, then producers informed her that her interview was not going to happen after all. Imagine how awkward it must have been on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards when Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer had to interview Adams!

Whatever bad blood may have existed was not present when the three chatted. In fact, it all felt friendly, leading us to think that amends must have been made behind the scenes after the scandal grabbed headlines. Harvey Weinstein, the producer of Big Eyes, was pushing hard for the network to apologize to Adams, and it looks like it must have happened.

NBC had wanted the actress to comment on the leaked Sony emails, the one in particular that divulged that she and Jennifer Lawrence had earned significantly less than their male co-stars in American Hustle. Adams did not want to be part of that dialogue and also mentioned that Bradley Cooper had just done an interview with Today and was not asked about Sony, so she felt that it should be fine for her not to be grilled as well. Adams later admitted that she really did not understand what had happened or why on earth her interview had been canceled.

Ironically, even without the opportunity to promote the film on that particular show, Adams won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Big Eyes, anyway.
