Well Peeps, I had to share this because we must all remember that life works in mysterious ways!! ✨✨
I just received my first major award nomination in Film and TV from the @criticschoice ✨ The wildest part being that for 24 hours I didn’t know I was nominated and I was ecstatic for the Great Mary McDonnell and Willa Fitzgerald who did get nominated (YESSSS!) for fiercely embodying the character of Madeline Usher together. 💃🏻🌟💃
Then I got the call that in fact I had been nominated for Lead Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie for THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER and due to some technical snafu my name had been left off the ballot. Naturally I thought I was being punked. I still kind of do, as in a career that spans almost 40 years (??!!) despite generous accolades I haven’t actually been nominated for these fancy things.
THIS IS ALL TO SAY: THANK YOU, CCA, I am elated and honored.
And most importantly thank you to a master storyteller and beloved collaborator Mike Flanagan for giving me an unprecedented and exhilarating creative challenge playing Verna in her manyyyy forms. I am thrilled to be a part this extraordinary ensemble of actors who are fearless and inspired in their portrayals of these flawed and complex humans. I was in awe each day of filming with this creative family. 🔥
A special shoutout to my dear friend, the brrrrrilliant Bruce Greenwood: for coming in like a house on fire and crushing it. And to Michael Fimognari who not only made the show look as beautiful as it does 🎥 but also directed half the episodes.
And to the emoji people, thanks a bunch for this new Verna emoji. Super thoughtful of you. 🐦⬛ ❤️
Thrilled for @dan_kluger and all of us New Yorkers (worth a trip for you out- of-towners too! 😉 We now have a delicious new restaurant with one of my favorite chefs at the helm. @greywind_nyc
Somehow Dan has a way of creating a vibe that is elegant yet totally easeful and the food is always top notch and made with love. 🙌🏼 ❤️ Gorgeous cocktails too. This one isn’t on the menu but I’m partial to a cucumber martini (with way too many specifications 😉 and they made it perfectly. Dan, you might just have to call it “The Carla.” 😉 #thingscarlaloves #nyc #restaurant
Never underestimate a great bathtub. @hotelstvincent #thingscarlaloves #nola
Todd Haynes’ exquisite, beguiling film MAY DECEMBER was perfect to watch at Cannes in the middle of a rainy night (literally-it began at 11:15pm.) It has stayed with me in both my conscious and dream state. That’s when you know a film has worked it’s magic. Revealing of the very complex human condition, asking questions rather than answering them while being riveting. BRAVA/O 👏🏼 and thank you to the artists who made it. Such beautiful work!! #toddhaynes @juliannemoore @natalieportman @melton @corymichaelsmith and everyone else involved. 🔥 🎥
And thanks to @dolcegabbana for the gorgeous threads ❤️ #cannes #maydecemberfilm
@theafricanchildrenschoir #nyc The kids are back for the first time in 3 years since the pandemic. They are magic. ✨❤️✨
Happpppy Birthday Bella @conniebritton Yes, it was yesterday but deserves continuous celebration as far as I’m concerned. 💃🍾🎉 To my best friend of SO many years: I am BEYOND glad that you were born. 🐣 🐠 So many lives are made better for your presence on this planet (many whom you don’t even know.) Here is to the most joyous and abundant year yet!! 🎂 ♥️🌼 ⭐️
Farewell New Orleans!
Though I was mostly on a soundstage I managed to sneak in a couple stellar meals. First time to @lenguamadrenola which a truly special (and delicious) experience. And @lilette_restaurant (always a must for me when in NOLA) is as good as ever! #thingscarlaloves #neworleans
A joy to see these beautiful and fierce ladies yesterday and celebrate @thirteenlune This day was a clear reflection of what @nyakio and this group of inspired beauty creators have set out to do. Inclusivity in Beauty. Here’s to coming together to see and celebrate each other’s unique expressions of beauty, inside and out! 🌺♥️✨ 📸 @selmablair
Always the best 📸 @gregwilliamsphotography 👏🏼
Merci to @charlespfinch for such a convivial eve with great people, inspired conversation, and even a little impromptu dancing! 🔥

It’s struck me over the years that @kellyripa possesses a unique combination of sharp wit and deep humanity. Her humor is never mean spirited but makes you laugh at the hilarity of life, with all its ups and downs. She connects all of us in that way.
What a joy to come celebrate you Kelly with such a beautiful group of people and now I-and many others-get to happily dig into your long winded short stories! (Always the best kind. ☺️💖)
Today I want to acknowledge this extraordinary man who has made an indelible impact on so many lives. Certainly mine. I’ve had the joy and honor of knowing and collaborating with him over the years.
My first play on Broadway was Arthur Miller’s AFTER THE FALL. Todd facilitated an environment for artists to create like no other. And for whatever reason, had great belief in me. Which meant the world. I then got to do Tennessee Williams’ SUDDENLY LAST SUMMER and Athol Fugard’s ROAD TO MECCA at what I consider my theater home. @roundaboutnyc It is with a heavy heart, that I bid you the safest journey into the Great Unknown, Todd. There is no doubt your extraordinary presence and light will be gracing all there as well. You are so missed ♥️ #rip #toddhaimes It is fitting that #alanrickman is pictured here, another dearly missed friend and theater giant. ✨✨

Not only is it EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE but it’s all of those things with the glorious badass force of nature @michelleyeoh_official in almost every frame of it which makes me a very happy camper! 🔥 So thrilled to see her celebrated properly in this film. Refreshingly, there’s nothing cookie cutter about it. It is a wild ride that feels like exactly what the filmmakers intended it to be.
And did I say: Brava Bella Michelle! 👏🏼🍾🔥 🎥 ♥️ @everythingeverywheremovie
What a great (and sweaty 😅) night getting to watch #bodiesbodiesbodies on picnic blankets in the park. The director @halinareijn reigns supreme with this movie! An inspired take on a type of movie we feel we know well. It’s madcap, totally engaging, and whole lotta fun. There are some real surprises so just GO see it and don’t read too much before. Bravo to All involved! 👏🏼👏🏼 @a24 @bodiesbodiesbodies #film 🎥💥
Tonight LEOPARD SKIN is yours in the Netherlands! 🔥 You can watch on @fox_nederland This image shot by @thealexandraarnold in NYC with @gaitejansen (who is revelatory in this show) Always such deep joy to get to work together! Hope you all enjoy the show! #Leopardskin #netherlands 🏝️ 🐆 🎥
Taking a moment to acknowledge these two dynamos who over a number of years, have enriched a magical few block radius in the west village with their absolutely delicious food; creating places that bring people together in such an authentic way. Building a true sense of community with not only their staff but with those who are lucky enough to get taste the seemingly simplest most delicious food (though, I’ve found out the hard way that their special touch cannot be created in your own kitchen-at least not mine yet 😂.) They navigated their way through the thick of the pandemic with grace and fortitude. 🙏 Grazie Rita and Jody! 💥 Just heard about their next very exciting endeavor. Stay tuned! @viacarota @ritasodi @barpisellino @buvettenyc @commerceinn ❤️ 🍝 🥃 #nyc
Happy Day After Valentine’s Day!

Today is the day Peeps!
What a gift to be able to find a creative outlet within (pun intended 😉 each person’s own space during such a strange time. I’m inspired by everyone’s shorts here. So cool to see the different expressions of what the beginning of this pandemic was. Reality transformed into art. 🙏 ♥️ 🎥 Hope y’all enjoy!
LOVED getting to do this with the rad @adriannepalicki, @calefinot, and of course our fearless leader #sebastiangutierrez

In honor of the great Jean-Luc Godard who passed away yesterday. A true and lasting filmmaker, provocateur, and oh yeah-ushered in the French New Wave, redefining what cinema could do.
Merci Monsieur Godard for all the gorgeous films you’ve left us with. Here: The exquisite and iconic Anna Karina in Vivre Sa Vie ✨🎥🇫🇷♥️ @#frenchnewwave #film #jeanlucgodard #annakarina
A beautiful wrap day on #TheGirlsOnTheBus! Thank you to ALL the creative story tellers involved in bringing it to life every day behind and in front of the camera 🎥 💥 ♥️
