00:00 How does it feel to be here tonight as a first-time nominee?
00:02 I mean, it's absolutely insane. It's so exciting, so incredible. I feel so just lucky.
00:08 The women in the category that I'm in are just extraordinary.
00:12 We got Meryl, we got J. Smith Cameron,
00:16 Debicki, Christina Ricci. Like, I'm huge fans of all of them.
00:20 So to be like even in the same sentence is just insane. And Hannah Waddingham.
00:24 I know, I think Meryl could break her own record tonight.
00:28 Okay, well. But that feels like instead of just nerve-wracking for you, it's just really exciting.
00:34 It's really exciting. And like, I'm just, again, just happy to be along for the ride.
00:40 What was it like getting to show more of your character in season two of The Bear?
00:44 It was amazing. I was really pregnant in IRL while we were shooting.
00:50 So the fact that they wrote that in was just like, it was just perfect.
00:54 And I think it made her character have some more depth and have some conflict,
00:57 you know, especially with seeing where Carmi and Natalie came from, their parents.
01:05 So, yeah, I think, you know, her being pregnant and feeling conflicted in her own family was really like fun to play and really,
01:16 well, actually not fun to play, but, you know, we went there.
01:20 Definitely interesting and exciting as an actor. Very.
01:23 Now for you in season three, what would you love to see happen for Sugar?
01:30 Well, I'm really interested in seeing Sugar as a new mom and coping with, you know,
01:34 all of the baggage that she has and, you know, also trying to take care of a little one and
01:39 and also working at the restaurant and feeling torn about, you know, where her,
01:44 you know, putting her time into the restaurant and her family too.
01:48 So and also Pete's relationship, the relationship with Pete as well, too.
01:52 I'm interested in seeing more of that.
01:53 And of course, this is the party that kicks off awards season, the Golden Globes.
01:57 Who from the Bear Crew do you think is going to party the hardest tonight?
02:01 Who from the Bear Crew? Oh, um, jeez, I don't I don't know.
02:07 Honestly, we're not huge partiers.
