00:00What does this nomination mean to you?
00:02I mean, I just feel like this whole ride that we've been on since the show came out
00:07has been an overwhelming amount of support and love and connection with so many people around the world.
00:15And I think that this moment is now a moment of celebration with members of the Academy
00:20and fellow actors and writers, directors.
00:23So I feel very honored and very grateful to be a part of events like this and this whole moment.
00:34And I know, of course, your nomination also was very moving to a lot of people as well
00:38and resonated with many people.
00:40Was there any maybe fan encounter or any interaction that you've had since filming the show
00:46that really touched you or stood out to you?
00:48Yeah, well, I went out to West Hollywood for the first time since the show came out and everything about a month ago.
01:01And, you know, it was really beautiful that people who recognized me wanted to share their connection to the series.
01:09But there was one person in particular, we were walking on a sidewalk and, you know, she was a trans Latina woman
01:17and she wanted to share how much it meant to her to see Terry represented on screen.
01:24And I think I was concerned potentially, you know, I tend to be very caring and careful about representations of violence on screen.
01:35And so there was, there's, you know, I wanted to bring that kind of care into the performance of Tarana
01:41and she experiences violence.
01:43And so what I heard from this person who stopped me on the sidewalk is that it actually felt really affirming for her
01:51to witness Terry experience the trauma that she did and come out on the other side the way that she did.
01:58So that meant a lot to me.
02:00Oh, that's very beautiful.
02:02I know when I asked a lot of people on this carpet what their, the favorite thing that they saw on TV this year,
02:07a lot of people said baby reindeer.
02:08So I wanted to ask you, what was the best thing that you saw on TV this year?
02:11Oh my God.
02:14That is so stressful.
02:17The best thing I saw on TV.
02:20Um, I mean, is jury duty still this year or is that last year?
02:25We can say in recent years.
02:26So yeah, I'll take it.
02:27Jury duty was so brilliant.
02:29Like literally unbelievable.
02:31I, I think I watched maybe all of it in one, one night with my best friend.
02:35Um, yeah, just brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
02:38And like, it was about the experience that that group of people shared and, and, and then it was still so hilarious.
02:44So yeah.
02:46Well, thank you again for stopping by.
02:47Congratulations.
02:48Have fun this weekend.
02:49Yeah.
02:50Good seeing you again.
