Julianne Nicholsonis an Emmy winner!
During the 73rd PrimetimeEmmy Awards, the 50-year-old actress took home the Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a limited series or a movie for her performance in HBO’sMare of Easttown. She beat out fellow nominees Renée Elise Goldsberry, Phillipa Soo, Jean Smart, Moses Ingram, and Kathryn Hahn.
After thanking everyone behind the scenes of the series, Nicholson gave shout-outs to costars Evan Peters (who also won his category) and Jean Smart, plusKate Winslet.
“Man, you’re good at acting,” she said with a laugh about Winslet, 45. “Turns out, you’re good at caring for a whole production. You led all of us every step of the way with such care and intelligence and love.”
“If you hadn’t called and asked if I wanted to join you in Philly, I probably would have read the first two episodes, thought ‘Nah, the priest did it,’ and stayed home. So I owe this to you,” she said to Winslet.

“It was written as a limited, and it ends — there’s no more mystery to be solved. Kate and I, if we could crack a story that we were really proud of and felt like it was a deserving second chapter in Mare’s journey, then maybe,” he said. “I haven’t cracked that yet; I don’t know what that is, honestly.”
