Frances McDormand Reunites With Steve Buscemi & Joel Coen For 'Fargo's 25th Anniversary

Frances McDormand gets in the middle of a pic with Steve Buscemi and Joel Coen at the Fargo reunion during the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival on Friday (June 18) in New York City.

The two actors starred in the 1996 movie, that was directed by Joel alongside his brother, Ethan.

The three spoke at a panel about the movie, which inspired a series on FX that has been running for four seasons so far.

In a recent interview, Steve reminisced on the film, giving a lot of credit to Frances for the success.

“It’s the Coen Brothers, the writing is so good and of course Frances McDormand’s performance, she’s the real heart of the movie,” he shared. “That’s what I love about it. It has their dark sensibility and their dark humor, but then you have Frances’ character that counterbalances that. All of the performances, if I do say so myself, are top rate.”

Steve also shared that people still ask him about the wood chipper scene.

“It hasn’t happened lately, but it’s happened enough in the past,” Steve said. “Especially when people say that’s their favorite scene, and I say, ‘OK, I actually wasn’t in that scene, but OK, thank you.’ That was a prosthetic leg.”

Just a few months ago, Frances and Joel, who are married, were spotted on a rare date night out.

There's a Reason Why Frances McDormand Howled During Oscars 2021 Speech

One memorable moment that happened at the 2021 Oscars is when Best Actress winner Frances McDormand let out a big howl during the acceptance speech for the Nomadland‘s Best Picture win.

During her speech, Frances said, “Please watch our movie on the largest screen possible. And one day, very very soon, take everyone you know into a theater, shoulder to shoulder, in that dark space, and watch every film represented here tonight. We give this one to our wolf,” she said before unleashing a mighty howl to cheers.

Director Chloé Zhao, who also won the Best Director award for her work on the film, actually explained that the howl was done for a very specific reason.

All four of those awards went to different women this year!

The five nominees are Nomadland‘s Frances McDormand, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom‘s Viola Davis, Promising Young Woman‘s Carey Mulligan, The United States vs. Billie Holliday‘s Andra Day, and Pieces of a Woman‘s Vanessa Kirby.
