And all the love in the world to Lin, Tommy, Lac, and Andy, and all of my incredible cast mates for creating a space for me that so many people continue to find their way to and see something special in.
“‘Hamilton’ truly keeps on giving. And huge congratulations to Ethan Hawke for being recognized for ‘The Good Lord Bird!’ It is one of the projects I am most proud to have worked on and I watched him make one of the most incredible transformations I’ve ever seen every day. He deserves every bit of this. Love y’all.”

Thank you @SAGawards! Today’s noms for @trialofchicago7 are a tribute to Aaron Sorkin, a remarkable cast and an incredible crew.
It was an honour to play Abbie, who used humour to expose the powerful and also was the first Jew to use space lasers to start forest fires. pic.twitter.com/UHPD5feVYO
