Tuesday, Ellen Page received an Oscar for best actress in "Juno", a comedy about a pregnant teen. "Juno" also received three more Oscar nominations.
Page says her plans for the future haven't changed. The only movie she is certain to do - a Drew Barrymore picture about an Eskimo girl who runs away from home to join a roller derby crew - she's had in the works for a while.
Page claims she has Eskimo blood that originated in Northern Europe. She also claims that all of Europe including the Middle East has Eskimo blood from thousands of years of race mixing over un-bordered continents.
Page does not care if people keep calling Juno a "quirky little indie flick," but she does get upset with people who try to say it's making a statement about abortion.
Page plays a pregnant and composed teenager in Juno.
Then Page says she picks only parts she considers genuine. Movies where the girls she plays do not feel like stereotypes. Her list of credits backs up the claim: She has starred in a number of dark, often violent roles in which she confronts issues of power and control.
She's played runaways, a mutant schoolgirl in X-Men, "The Last Stand" and a teenager lusciously tortured to death by Catherine Keener in the movie American Crime.
Page says she is often approached, admiringly, about her appetite for taking on feminist roles.
Patrick Wilson, who played opposite Page in Hard Candy, says Page attacked her role like Joan of Arc.
She hopes to start shooting a Canadian indie film about teenage lesbian werewolves.
