that the show gave her a full-time reign.
Congratulations on your first big nomination!
How did you find out, and what are your celebratory plans?Its absolutely crazy.
I havent processed it yet.
I was in my flat with my flatmates.
We ordered some food!
They were around me when the nominations were being read to keep me from being too terrified.
Ill celebrate by staying in the flat.
Theres nothing we can do other than that.
And some Champagne or four.
Youvespoken a lotabout the laborious process of becoming and embodying Diana.
Its pure joy in those photos.
I didnt think about stealing any of them, actually.
But I think someone had just misplaced it.
It was so funny.
I remember it being the most panicked day on set.
Were missing a wig!
Did you name any of your wigs?I didnt bond that much with my wigs, Im afraid.
The process of getting them on at like, six in the morning, was too laborious.
I didnt want to form any additional attachment to them.
The Diana scene that brought me the most joy was the Uptown Girlperformance.
I did jazz, tap, and ballet, which we tried to incorporate more throughout the season.
We worked on jazz for Uptown Girl and stuck with basic jazz moves.
It was great to have a few photos to work with, even if we didnt have video.
We analyzed the particular moves you might see in those photos like the kicks and the lifts.
We incorporated those into the routine as much as possible.
ThePhantomwas more difficult for me.
I was on my own.
I felt very vulnerable.
Whom do we have to bribe to get the fullPhantomcut?hey let Netflix know.
I havent seen any more of it!
Yes!I cant believe it.
I didnt talk with him or meet him before, so thats really nice to know.
He considered that performance to be Dianas statement of independence.I completely agree.
Shes what I want!
Josh is the nicest person in the world.
Do you agree with that?No, I definitely dont think its necessary.
Its very clear that its a fictional drama.
Have you chatted withthe next Diana, Elizabeth Debicki?No, I havent yet!
What advice would you give her?Make it your own.
Put blinkers on for the rest of the world and for the pressure.
Grab onto things that resonate with you, that you relate to, or that you empathize with.
And always trust the script.
It wont let you down.
