I heard on set. I was shooting a scene and I haven't even texted I haven't even texted but I haven't even spoken to my husband since. I walked straight off set. They whisked me into the press. >> Well, I'm currently in Ireland on set for Wednesday. And so I was on set and um I had to run out of the room and just scream in the corner and then run back in. Yeah, my my phone is blowing up and I only got to react to it probably in the past 30 minutes which is maybe why I look so flustered. >> I was on my way to work at The Daily
Show. Got a lovely text message that we got some nominations and then went into work writing uh a second act piece for The Daily Show tonight. Going through rehearsal and then I just got bumped from the show. So I've I've lived an emotional day. >> I was at my house and had some friends over. Um my dad brought over pastries and we watched the announcement and you know when they announced only like a few of the categories I was like, wait, what? >> [laughter] >> Then I saw all the announcement online
of my nomination and everyone like started screaming and it was crazy and exciting. Oh my gosh, it was it was amazing. >> I was at Eric Roth's house. The Academy Award winning writer of Forrest Gump. He likes me to say that. Uh and uh and so anyway, I checked my phone and and I had forgotten that that was happening this morning. Uh and I I was very excited and then I bragged to him. I said, you may have an Oscar but we have six nominations for creative Emmys.
