“American Horror Story: Hotel” star Sarah Paulson scored her fourth Primetime Emmy nomination on Thursday, and spoke to TheWrap about being completely surprised by it — despite executing the daunting task of playing two characters who also happened to share the same body.
“I did not think I was going to get it. These kind of things are always very nerve-racking,” Paulson said hours after the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the nominees. “It sounds super silly, but I really wanted the nomination for the character I played. I just thought Bette and Dot, I just thought it would be so wonderful if they got nominated.”
