Speaking to journalist Donald Clarke she said, “The red is from that one time I didn’t win Miss Australia. And the black is from a funeral I just went to for the feature film Cats.”
Cats is a musical directed by Tom Hooper and included some of the biggest names in the industry. Despite having a big-name cast, the movie failed to make an impact at the Box Office. However, this wasn't the only thing that people loved about Wilson during the show. While announcing the nominations for Best Director, the actress brought attention to how it was an all-male category. “I don’t think I could do what they do – honestly, I don’t have the balls," she said.
