Julianne Nicholson on ‘Paradise’ and ‘Hacks’ Emmy Chances

You know Julian Nicholson. Four different characters played with multiple repetitions from Law and order The concession, including three seasons as a major member of the team Criminal. It came out of 2013 stars inlaid August: Osidge County After performing the best performance of the film, regardless of what the Oscar voters said. But for many, her Emmy Prize -winning role was his best friend in the Kate Winslet series in HBO Limited 2021 series Eastown Nicholson was created as a talent that must be calculated.

This year has witnessed its roles in completely different television worlds. As Samantha “Sinatra” Redmond, Nicholson is largely the most frightening performance on heavenDan Fogelman’s Authalyptic Hulu series. The master of the dolls behind a small Faksmil in a small town that established himself in the depths of a mountain, and Senatra or a sad mother found the purpose in financing the project and the cruel billionaire that he creates self -driven by corruption in an attempt to adhere to power. In a completely different position on HBO Max, Nicholson was happy Equippers The fans as a dance mother, the Tiktok star who consumes rented materials to reinforce viewers late at night in Deborah Fans. It is almost difficult to believe the actress who orders secret murders heaven It also demands its managers to detonate cocaine EquippersBut this is just a kind of year that Nicholson had.

Now, Nicholson finds herself in Emmy’s competition for both shows (support for the actress in a drama heaven And a guest actress in comedy Equippers), But she does not leave praise to her head. It also appears to face a jump from the FYC appearances – at the present time, anyway. “She fell to the face of the earth,” she told me after calling her from her home in England earlier this week. “I said I had an interview, and my family was like,” with whom? What? “This is where we are.”

Return me to EastownAmy campaign. What do you remember from that time?
mare It was an interesting case because that was 2021, so there was not much. Nothing personally. I did some interviews to enlarge. There are complete machines in these studios directed towards recognition of shows and actors, as I should all tell them that I will be fine if I am not nominated. What is worse is when – this happened before – for independent spirit prizes or something like that, you get email messages like, “I am very sorry that you did not get a nomination for this.” It is like, “Well, I didn’t know that it was happening. I felt comfortable when I woke up this morning.” So …

I didn’t know that I was supposed to feel bad!
exactly! Thanks to remind me! The less attached to the result, the better.

Your competitors for Amy in 2021 were very huge, including mare Participant star Jean Smart. From an external perspective, no victory was guaranteed. But then I did! What do you remember from that night?
Emis was the first to return personally, and there were no actors there. In these prizes, you have a public relationship leading you, saying: “Meet this person” – you are basically only follow like a puppy and do what they say. This year, we all had to defend ourselves. People revealed themselves left and right!

So there was a red carpet – with three photographers. Maybe five. We got there and took a picture, and we did not think that we were in a hurry, and suddenly it was like, “Show’s from 30 minutes.” So there was a tremendous impulsion for all of these actors who wanted to take their photos. Then people began cutting the line. The most famous people were cutting in front of the lesser people. In reality, The pound sterling k. Brown The voice of the mind was. He literally said, “There will be no pieces. There is a line, and we will respect the line,” he said literally.

People there were raising each other away. Kerry Russell and Alison Jani She was like, “Julian, she was nominated, she had to go, she should go!” If you look at photoI look a shell. You are like, I have this luxurious dress! I need to get a picture of her or no one who ever wants to present a dress again! So I just looks like a horrific. Then of course we go, then Ivan Peters won, then literally after ten minutes, she won, which was unexpected and very exciting.

I watched the clip last night. Is it as suggestive when they start playing music during your admission letter?
I thought I was only talking for ten seconds! I thought I was very brief. Then you like, I don’t care, I must finish. Because it was short anyway and felt important. But it is not a good feeling. You feel you take a lot of time. As a woman and an actor, such as continuing to move all these contracts, you are aware of his feeling, I had a lot of time, I acquired a very large area. It is like, no! Take this moment!

And now you are in the nomination polling twice this year, both of them heaven and EquippersPlaying two different versions of the threats of American culture: dictatorial fascism and the rise of Tiktok artists.
[Laughs.] I did not think about it this specified way, but yes.

What I love in your personality heaven It is very extreme due to climate change. As individuals, most of us have no ability to do anything about it. Is this something you brought to your performance?
I love it, take it seriously as it does, in reality, as you know, to build a completely new world. I like it believes in science, for the sake of one. She talks about her convictions and-Jolie’s way of saying-her soul that can.

I can’t remember many of the frank wiches you played in your career.
It was the first.

There is a moment shortly before Sinatra launch At the end of the season She says to the character Sterling, as Zafiyeh, “God, forgive me.” Ostensibly, she says this because she ordered the kidnapping and killing of the daughter of Kazavier. When you deliver this line, is it only the daughter of Kazavia, or are you apologizing for all the other things you have done?
It’s all. Everything fell on it at that moment. It is like a shark, right? She must continue to move. At that moment, she was finally forced to stop for a minute, and all of this weighs the home. With the fact that she feels she was responsible for being the daughter of Sterling, perhaps … who knows what?

Now to EquippersWhen you were preparing to play dance, did you see a lot of Tiktok?
Multiple fell from the tiktok rabbit holes – and Instagram, more, because I do not have Tiktok. It is a wild world there.

What kind of dance training goes to playing these scenes?
I worked with a great dance designer in London named Corrie Baker. He was fans from start to finish, because there was also when we were imagining, and it was great that you had a sounding plate. It is already about learning the steps enough so that you can only abandon and act, and you are not so in your head about what comes after that.

The most indelible picture for this season is when Jimmy and Kayla must revive my mother dance with cocaine in her back in order to remove her at the Dibora show. How was this filmed with Paul W. Downs and MiG Stalter? What is the approach in the scene with that degree of madness?
They did three seasons of the show, so I know they will not allow me to deceive myself. I can just go to it. We trained the night before. It has already been marked loose, and my personality comes, and they hunted that tray filled with drinks – which literally cut my hand on the first thing. Then to the sofa. In fact, training gives you more freedom because you know what parameters are.

Watch the breakthroughs I was thinking, This is a copy of Julian Nicholson I have never seen before. Does this resonate with you?
Yes, 100 percent. I have been looking for more comedy in the past two years in particular. I like to go to work and laugh. I was trying to make a focused effort towards more of this type of material, and it is difficult to get it because it is not what people usually think. So I jump In this opportunity.

Now you are in competing for two categories from Amy, neither of them is Jean -Smart.
What a relief!
