Kate O’Flynn found out she was an Emmy nominee and immediately went underground.

“I felt like an ostrich,” she tells Variety over Zoom. “I got the news, and I was immediately overwhelmed and put my head in the sand, and then quaffed champagne. It was nuts in the best possible way.”

The realization didn’t land until the next day, when she scrolled through a phone full of messages from people she had worked with across two decades. These names wouldn’t mean anything to anyone outside British regional theater. “That’s when I got emotional,” she says. “It just puts it all into context.”
