Its a great Monday morning.
What a way to start a week!
If only every Monday could start this way.
What was your first reaction when you heard the news?
Its actually very funny.
Do I get that extra half an hour of sleep or not?
I decided to get the extra half an hour of sleep.
Then, I realized I had to get in the shower and then I came to work.
So, its thrilling.
Whats the atmosphere like on set today?
I have not actually made it to set.
Im still in hair and makeup; theyre a little behind.
Anthony is on location, so he will be back.
But, we are knee-deep in work.
Now, were trying to figure out what the scene is because its actually from a different episode.
What do you think it is that made people finally stop and take a look at the show?
I think for internet television, I feel very proud of our show.
Its a different kind of boundary that you have on web connection television.
I dont know what took people long or not long; Im grateful that its now.
I think thats important and thats part of whats often missing: its not just color.
When you get off work today, how do you plan on celebrating?
I dont know if Ill need to celebrate.
I think that being nominated is exciting, but its also not a badge of my life changing.
It just means that the work that Ive done is being celebrated.
Other than that, I get to keep doing what I do.
Thats really the point.
Maybe Ill get to present.
Its exciting, yet I also get to keep doing what I do.
I have no idea what to expect.
Ive watched it on TV since I started acting, since I was a kid.
Ive always loved watching award shows.
I loved seeing women in gorgeous dresses and men with their bowties and their penguin jackets.
Its always exciting to because Ive always loved clothes since I was a young girl.
Then, as soon as I started working it became about something else.
That was a place I wanted to be.
Ill be excited to be in that room, and I dont know what else Id be excited about.
That was just so much fun.
Last night, there were some really fun moments.
