[ Emmy Interviews: Samantha Bee | Millie Bobby Brown | Claire Foy | Samira Wiley | Evan Rachel Wood ]

How did you learn about your Emmy nomination today?

I promised myself that I wouldn’t look, but obviously you have to look. My dad was watching the announcement, and the guy on the live stream was like, “Oh, we’re finished with this.” The live stream stopped, and my dad had three different electronic devices on, like, “Come on! Come on!” trying to find the full list [of nominees]. And then finally my publicist called me and told me. I was just in shock. I thought she was going to call saying, “Ah, better luck next time,” or something like that. But she said congratulations.

And how did you react?

I’m so happy for the show. The show completely deserves it. The show is 10 times more amazing than my nomination.

Will you do anything to celebrate the nomination?

I’m working tonight on my new movie, “Godzilla” [“Godzilla: King of the Monsters”]. So I’m going to go to work. Just doing my job makes me so happy. I’m definitely going to get a Starbucks right now, that’s usually my celebratory drink. And then probably do some schoolwork. [Laughs] So it’s going to be a fun day.

Do you go to school when you’re not working on a film or TV series?

I’m home-schooled, but being on set with the boys [her “Stranger Things” co-stars] is like a school in itself. We argue, we’re like brothers and sister. We laugh. It’s a bunch of fun kids.
