Meet Julianne Moore: honorary Canadian.

“I love Toronto. I’ve been coming to Toronto to work since 1986, a really long time, so I feel I’m practically Canadian,” said Moore with a wide smile as she paused on the red carpet for a few words with the Star before the Canadian Screen Awards Sunday evening.

Moore, who won the Best Actress Oscar for Still Alice a week ago, is nominated for a CSA for Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for David Cronenberg’s dark Hollywood satire, Maps to the Stars.

The live telecast is hosted by Andrea Martin and will be broadcast on CBC at 8 p.m.

Maps to the Stars has 11 CSA nominations, including Best Motion Picture and Best Director for Cronenberg.

Moore said she was delighted to be in Toronto to support Maps to the Stars, in which she played neurotic actress Havana Segrand, whom she described as “monstrous and childlike at the same time.”

“It was such a great opportunity to work with Canadian auteur David Cronenberg,” she added.

Moore was among the women on the Oscars red carpet who supported #AskHerMore, a Twitter hashtag urging TV hosts to ask actresses about issues and their profession rather than appearances. Does Moore think it had a positive effect?

“I think so. I hope so,” she said. “I think people are interested in that. Movies are about who we are and what we do and who we love and I think it’s great to talk about that, not just what we’re wearing.”
