McCarthy wins the Emmy Award for Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards for portraying Molly Flynn in Mike & Molly.

Instead of just coming in with funny lines, which is a blast, it’s more challenging to think of where the character is going. How do you relate to three shows ago? I like the math of acting where you have to keep all those puzzle pieces in line.

Pearce wins the Emmy Award for Supporting Actor in a Miniseries or Movie at the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards for portraying Monty Beragon in Mildred Pierce.

The difference between doing a five or six hour mini series versus a movie is you can allow a moment to breathe as you do in real life. If you have an awkward two minutes you can spotlight that. In a film you have to cut out sometimes and there is something missing.
