For Best Picture: "Frost/Nixon" Photos


The Adversary

One of the inventions of the play and film was a phone conversation between Nixon and Frost on the evening before their interview discussing the Watergate break-in. In it Nixon seems to chide Frost for being (like himself) a product of disadvantaged circumstances who struggles for acceptance: "That's our tragedy, isn't it, Mr. Frost? No matter how high we get, they still look down at us."
