Safe to say, this is a high point in her career.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, first things first: Congratulations, this is pretty great news.
Whats the feeling right now?JESSICA BIEL:Thank you!
A little in shock, to be honest with you!
You never think, Oh yeah, my shows going to get nominated.
Thats going to be fun.
There were so many amazing things and so many great, incredible actors like, theres no way!
So you kind of go into it with this Who knows?
attitude, trying not to get so excited in case it doesnt come through.
How did you hear the news?Its so funny, this morning, I had this one day.
I turned my phone off.
I kind of forgot!
And then someone started calling my home line, and I was like, What!
Who is doing this to me?
This is so cruel and unusual.
And I grabbed the phone going, Hello?!
And it was my assistant, Nicole.
She goes, Hey, its going to be one of those days.
I was like, Oh my God!
It was this really funny turn I was mad, she was waking me up, whats going on?
It was my one day to sleep in, and then I got this incredible news.
Its just a shock.
Its still like, Oh, wow, hold on.
Something that I and my partner Michelle Purple are so proud of and we worked so hard on.
But this one particularly is very close to my heart and just something that Im really proud of.
I dont know what else to say.
Im proud of it.
But you just never know and the competition is fierce.
I never really thought this would happen.
This, for me, is a huge high moment.
I just havent had that in my career.
Its a huge moment one of the top moments for me.
you could look at it both ways.
At least its not a big list of embarrassments, right?
Whats it like being recognized alongside them?Its shocking.
And then I did.
And Im moving around in the same business as these incredible, talented women.
Its the way it feels to me.
Whatever happens from here, fine.
Just my name underneath all these womens names, next to their names, its a thing of dreams.
I called my mom this morning and we were screaming together on the phone.
We are really hoping to hear soon if we get to come back or not.
Even getting over that has been interesting.
Were hoping to set it up and see if we can come up with some amazing and interesting stories.
If we get to come back, were starting fresh again.
I will definitely be involved in some way!
I hope somebody writes me into the show, if we can figure it out.
We will figure it out if its possible, but we want to be authentic to the show.
We want to do whats right for the show as opposed to whats right for me.
