Emmy nomination
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominates Tyson for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Pearl on Relative Stranger.
I am so surprised and deeply honored by the nomination. Relative Stranger is a story that desperately cried out to be told, to make men aware how important it is to be in their children’s lives. I’m truly honored to be recognized by the Academy for this role.

Emmy nomination
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominates McTeer for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Clementine Churchill on Into the Storm.
It’s lovely to get back in the business of English history. I had seen The Gathering Storm, which was amazing, and had to work with Hugh, who is such a fantastic English writer. I read all the books and met with her daughter, and I also tried to find recordings of her and how she spoke. Research is my favorite part. I’m a frustrated academic and historian.
Emmy nomination

This summer is just fantastic. The Tony, and a hit play that we’re going back to. I have a fantastic birthday coming up this summer. It’s just that it’s all happening. I don’t feel like I’ve ever felt happier or healthier, more delighted with the work. I feel showered with blessings.
Emmy nomination
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominates Aghdashloo for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Sajida Talfah on House of Saddam.
It looked like such a longshot after looking at the list of actors. I thought it would be such a tough shot to get the nomination. So I slept in until my husband woke me up and said, ‘I think your mother is calling, because she is calling every phone.’ So I called my friend after I tried my mother, and she told me is this what Emmy nominees do, they sleep through all this praise. That’s when I figured I got the nomination.

Emmy nomination
Davis receives a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Mia Nesky on In Treatment.
It was gratifying work, and I felt inspired by what was written. I’m generally not a TV watcher, but I watched the first season and was addicted to it. Mia seemed like someone I could identify with. To be a single woman in New York at that age, she was incredibly lonely. I had a lot of sympathy for her.

Emmy nomination
Perkins is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Celia Hodes on Weeds.
Weeds has provided me the opportunity to work with some of the most talented actors and writers I’ve ever met and it’s really an honor to be nominated for playing such a malicious, contemptible, totally outrageous, emotionally bankrupt character. I’m having a ball.
Emmy nomination

Emmy nomination
Chenoweth is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Olive Snook on Pushing Daisies.
It does feel like a wonderful curtain call, now that the show is over. I think what it will be remembered for in history is the idea of bringing back a person and then making the decision if they live or die. And just the look of it … it was like watching a mini-movie every week, and what I hear all the time from people on the street is how much they miss it and how much heart the show had. And I think that is something that is missing in some of today’s shows.
