Seth Rogen for 鈥淭he Studio鈥
"Being at this point in our lives and making a thing that has this type of attention is just so kind of novel in a lot of ways, and really exciting and thrilling and very validating in a way that I鈥檓 not used to being validated. 鈥 Rogen, nominated for best actor in a comedy series as well as writing and directing, in an interview.
Evan Goldberg for 鈥淭he Studio鈥

Erin Doherty for 鈥淎dolescence鈥
鈥淲hat I love about this job is that when you do the work so wholeheartedly, even when you move on you learn lessons. If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering, and I don鈥檛 think we do it that often. I鈥檓 trying to take that forward.鈥 鈥 Doherty, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, in an interview.
Noah Wyle for 鈥淭he Pitt鈥
鈥淚鈥檓 overjoyed that the nominations were spread across all the different departments as it reflects our collective effort. A heartfelt congrats to all my fellow nominees. I鈥檓 humbled and grateful.鈥 鈥 Wyle, nominated for best lead actor in a drama series, wrote in a statement.
Cristin Milioti for 鈥淭he Penguin鈥
鈥淚t鈥檚 been so beautiful to see how many nominations the show has gotten. I鈥檓 so, so thrilled for my fellow cast and crew. It has been a really thrilling day...really wonderful.
鈥淚 had been wishing for a role like that for a long time and searching for one, and I just had the time of my life. You know, I connected with that character so deeply.鈥 鈥 Milioti, nominated for best actress in a limited series, heard about the nomination while running errands. She spoke in an interview.
Dan Erickson for 鈥淪everance鈥

Jason Isaacs for 鈥淭he White Lotus鈥
鈥淧eople wanted to watch it. They wanted to talk about it. They wanted to dress as the characters. They wanted to drink pina coladas. They wanted, they wanted to meet, you know, and watch it together.
"Look, the real world, the clouds are gathering and it鈥檚 not that easy to be in. It鈥檚 complicated and challenging to be in and to stay sane and happy and it gave people a happy place to be. And so they just wanted to continue it and so expand it into the periphery of us and our private lives, which seemed a bit odd, but I get why. They wanted to stay talking 鈥榃hite Lotus鈥 stuff.鈥 鈥 Isaacs, nominated for best supporting actor in a drama series, said in an interview.
Michael Urie for 鈥淪hrinking鈥

And that is, I feel like, kind of a new thing for us, humans in this society, that we鈥檙e allowed to talk about it and relish in it 鈥 and ask for help. So I鈥檓 glad that we鈥檙e doing and I鈥檓 glad that the industry is into it too.
"I didn鈥檛 really think this would ever happen. I mean, I certainly was aware that Emmys were a thing and that I might someday be in consideration for one, but it didn鈥檛 seem like it was possible. So it does feel kind of dreamy." 鈥 Urie, nominated for best supporting actor in a comedy series, said in an interview.
Tony Gilroy for 鈥淎ndor鈥
鈥淚鈥檓 really happy to see that the technical side of our show got recognized and Michael Wilkinson and Luke Hall and the sound departments and the visual effects department. I thought that really got a little bit overlooked last time. I wish there鈥檇 been more for the actors. 鈥 Gilroy, nominated for best drama series and outstanding original music and lyrics, in an interview.
Stephen Graham for 鈥淎dolescence鈥
"Poleaxed is a good word, is it not? (I'm) just so happy and so full of gratitude for the ensemble, for the piece itself as a whole, as a collective... Just the fact that there鈥檚 not one specific person or there鈥檚 no one specific thing, but each element has been acknowledged, and to be a part of such a wonderful ensemble, to me, is what it鈥檚 all about. 鈥 Graham was nominated both for best actor and outstanding writing in a limited series or movie. He spoke in an interview.
Connor Tomlinson for 鈥淟ove On The Spectrum鈥

鈥淚 feel really proud, really proud of our show. Really proud of (show inspiration and producer) Nikki Boyer and all the work she鈥檚 done. And I just feel so happy that this work came into my life. It鈥檚 been one sort of happiness after another.
鈥淥ur show really allows people to think about choices they want to make for themselves so that they could have more, so that they could step into the form that they actually like see themselves in, you know, like be the person that they feel that they are, but are somehow kept from." 鈥 Slate, nominated for best supporting actress in a limited series or movie, spoke in an interview from her home in Massachusetts.
