Biggies like Emilia Clarke, Julia Louis-Dreyfus & other Emmy nominated actresses reveal rare known things

The Emmys fever is officially on as the biggest award ceremony is just over a month away and the wait is exciting. So, before we go into actual predictions in several categories, 16 Emmy nominates actresses revealed their on-set rituals and favorite lines to The Hollywood Reporter. We short-listed a few

Christina Applegate (Dead To Me, Netflix)

Favorite Line- I enjoyed shooting the scenes where Linda [Cardellini] and I were just talking, no one’s crying, no one’s freaking out. We’re just talking, and those were the most enjoyable to shoot for sure.

On-set rituals- She’s almost like a pinball game where she gets hit from side to side and the reactions and everything have to be kind of in the moment. That’s why I think she’s kind of failing at life in a lot of ways, because she doesn’t think things through — she reacts.

Patricia Arquette (Escape at Dannemora, Showtime)

On-set rituals-No, not really. It’s funny because Tilly’s such a musical person in a way. I felt like she was pretty depressed, and I feel like sometimes music has a way of alleviating depression or shifting it in some way. I just wanted to stay in her negative space.

Jodie Comer (Killiing Eve, BBC America)

Surprising Feedback- A lot of people asking her to kill them is probably my most surprising. I love that people are so on her side because it’s naughty and brilliant. I love when you watch a film and you find yourself sympathizing with someone who black and white should be the villain. It says a lot to the character development and the writing, you know? That nothing is as it seems.

Joey King (The Act, Hulu)

Heavy Day on set- To decompress a heavy day on set I was hanging out with a jar of peanut butter and Good & Plentys — which I know sounds like a gross combo, but it’s really good — while watching HGTV.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep, HBO)

On the way final season was received- I was happy that people were pleased, because I was pleased with it. (Laughs.) I felt we nailed all of the characters, in terms of finishing off arcs. I really feel as if everybody got their due, one way or another. It felt correct.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Amazon) 

Favorite line- “I love you." "It'll pass."

Prop or costume wish you kept- There were a couple of the Sexy Jesus paintings. But the one that was most precious to me was the sculpture of the mother. And the producers actually put it onto a little stand for me, and so I’ve got her safe and naked and tucked up at home.

Robin Wright (House of Cards, Netflix)

Favourite Line - Claire’s direct address — "Just to be clear, it’s not that I haven’t always known you were there. It’s that I have mixed feelings about you. I question your intentions and I’m ambivalent about attention. But don’t take it personally. It’s how I feel about most everybody."

Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, HBO)

On the unpredictability of your character lasting in the show - On our show, you get "the call." Or, it’d be like, "Oh, my God, [D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, our showrunners] want to take me out for dinner," and that’s the kiss of death. Literally. Every time they’d ask you out for dinner, they’d have to be like, "We’re not trying to kill you, we just want to get dinner."
