; ALSO THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
SHOW EXTRA IS ON EVERY DAY AT
1:30 PM TODAY WE GET TO VISIT
WITH KERRY WASHINGTON TO SETTLE
IN SHELTON'S POST TOSSED AND
TALKING ABOUT HER NEW
DOCUMENTARY.
SCREAMING THERE'S SO MANY
THINGS TO CONGRATULATE YOU FOR.
YOU RENEWED YOUR DEAL WITH THE
STUDIOS AND YOU HAVE AN
IMPRESSIVE 4 EMMY NOMINATIONS
ACROSS 4 CATEGORIES AND I THINK
YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON TO DO
THAT.
HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO
CELEBRATE?
I WAS GETTING THE NEWS ABOUT
THE NOMINATIONS, I WAS PUTTING
MY GROCERIES AWAY WITH MY KIDS,
WIPING THEM DOWN.
IN THE NEWS THAT REALLY
DESTROYED ME, BURST MY HEART
OPEN WAS LYNN SHELDON'S
NOMINATION BECAUSE SHE WAS OUR
DIRECTOR, AND HARLEY DIRECTOR.
SHE PASSED AWAY RECENTLY.
SO I JUST AM SO GRATEFUL THAT
THE ACADEMY IS ACKNOWLEDGING
HER IN THIS WAY.
SHE PUT HER SOUL INTO OUR SHOW
I WANT TO TAKE THE TIME TO
ACKNOWLEDGE LYNN SHELTON AND
ACKNOWLEDGE HER.
WHAT WOULD THIS HAVE MEANT TO
HER?
I CAN HEAR HER FROM HEAVEN.
THAT AMAZING LAUGH OF HERS AND
I THINK SHE IS CELEBRATING IN
THE BEYOND.
I THINK SHE IS FEELING REALLY
PROUD THAT SHE HAS RECEIVED
THIS GIFT.
I MENTIONED TO YOU BEFORE WE
STARTED I AM GOING TO TRY MY
BEST NOT TO GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT
IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS
THAT'S AMAZING TO WATCH.
WHEN IT CAME TO PRODUCING THIS
FEEL DULL MY FILM HOW DID YOU
KNOW ABOUT THIS AND OTHER
MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES BEFORE
YOU STARTED THIS WORK?
ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE
ABOUT THE ACLU THESE ARE
CHALLENGING.
YOU CAN WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
WHERE SHOULD I BE PUTTING
MYSELF?
SHOULD IT BE ON BLACK LIVES
SHOULD BE ON IMMIGRANTS AND
KIDS BEING SEPARATED, SHOULD IT
BE ON LGBT Q RIGHTS.
SHOULD IT BE ON THE ATTACK ON
WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS.
AND
SPEAKING OF INSPIRATION ARE
YOU ENCOURAGED BY SOME OF THE
PROTESTS THAT YOU HAVE SEEN IN
THE SHOWING OF SUPPORT IN LIGHT
OF THE BLACK LIVES MATTER
MOVEMENT?
WE NOW BECAUSE WE ARE THE
EMBODIMENT OF BLACK GIRL MAGIC.
WE KNOW HOW MUCH BLACK LIVES
MATTER AND IT IS MOVING AND
THRILLING TO SEE THAT REALITY
AND TRUTH REVERBERATE INTO THE
COMMUNITY.
HERE IS MY BEEF WITH EMMY
NOMINATIONS KERRY WASHINGTON
DID A GREAT JOB AND LITTLE
FIRES EVERYWHERE.
HER COSTAR, REESE WITHERSPOON.
SHE DID NOT GET ANY ANGINA
KALLIE KOESTER DOES NOT AGREE
WITH ME BECAUSE SHE'S NOT A
HUGE FAN BUT SHE HAS DONE THE
MORNING SHOW.
BIG LITTLE LIES.
LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE.
SHE IS ON FIRE AND I FEEL LIKE
CARRY WASHINGTON'S PERFORMANCE
GOES HAND IN HAND.
I DON'T THINK ONE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN SINGLED OUT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT I FELT
THAT WAY WITH TITANIC AS WELL.
BACK IN THE DAY.
LEO DID NOT WIN.
I THINK THEY BOTH GOT
NOMINATED AT LEAST.
SO THEY ARE SAYING SHE
DIDN'T EVEN GET NOMINATED.
SHE WAS NOMINATED FOR THE
PRODUCING PART, MAYBE.
USUALLY WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE
LIST IT'S THE TOP CATEGORIES.
I DID NOT CHECK ALL OF THE DEEP
DIVE CATEGORIES.
KERRY WASHINGTON, I THINK SHE
IS GREAT BUT SHE DOES THIS
THING WITH HER MOUTH AS EVERY
CHARACTER.
CAN YOU GET A CLOSE-UP OF THIS?
SO IF YOU SAY ALIGNED TO ME SHE
LOOKS AT THE CAMERA SHE WILL DO
A PAUSE THING.
SHE GOT THAT FROM GINGER ON
GILLIGAN'S ISLAND.
ANYWAY I KNEW THAT.
