It's a dream come true, but also a dream I never even truly had, because it felt too big, too nuts. I'm the kind of dreamer who dreams about finishing plays and cakes and meeting Morrison and maybe going to Hawaii. The nomination is tinged with sadness, because I'm out here without my work wife, Ingrid. We made this show together and sort of became one heart and brain through the making of it and now it feels like we've been ripped apart I'm being carried away in this golden carriage and I'm reaching my hand back to her. But here we are, and now I'm out here with Mary Ann and Dorian, nominated for best Actor and Actress, representing our beautiful show and each person who helped make it, through Baby's first award season. I am gratitude, I am humbled, I am trying to have perspective, I am spanx and shoes and red eyes, I'm already tired. I want to crawl into a pillowcase. Once I'm in there, once no one can see me, I want to take a few minutes and really just smile until my face hurts, because this feels so big and so amazing, an emerald in the palm of eight year old me's hand. I look down at it and ask, is this for me? Is this mine? And someone says One day, it will be. | | | |
