With her Hulu breakout scoring 13 Emmy noms, including best actress, television's reigning (and surprisingly foul-mouthed) star opens up about Season 2 and her political awakening: "I'm a staunch believer in women's rights. I don't really give a s— about anybody who isn't."
The morning of July 13 started like any other, with Elisabeth Moss trying to eke out a little more time in bed. She is not, by all accounts, an early riser, and this sticky Thursday was no different, save for the locale, South Florida, where she was enjoying a rare few days off.
Then came the midday text from her publicist: a GIF of Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, shirtless and clapping. "I knew it was good news," says Moss, a fourth-generation Cubs fan, "because a shirtless Anthony Rizzo is always good news."
And it was: The Handmaid's Tale had just scooped up 13 Emmy nominations, including a best actress nom for Moss, the dystopian drama's producer and star. In short order, she began scrolling through the 49 congratulatory texts that had already come in. Before long, there would be a lengthy email chain among the actors and a back and forth with showrunner Bruce Miller as well. By 3 p.m., Moss was still working her way through the deluge.

funny when it came out the media denied it was made to “take on trump”... now they are admitting the opposite in the open???
The Handmaids Tale is the perfect show to explain Moslim oppression of women on a worldwide basis.
Just thought that Elisabeth might want to know that I had to take some Kaopectate today.
Yes exactly. Too bad the cast and crew can’t see something this obvious.
/eyeroll.
How did the TV show take on Trump?
I have never heard of this feminist Scientologist Hollyweirdite who looks like a cross between Jodie Foster and Uma Thurman. Until today.
The press adores her so they gloss over her Scientology cult background.
Apparently by doing a show based on a 30 year old novel, they took on Trump.
Watching Mad Men is where I'd first seen her and thought, hey that must be the daughter of Gillian Anderson : ))
Unbelievably, for me, I’ve never watched that show. I used to watch everything.
Stupid show.
I’m sure when some muslim savage starts sawing off her head, she’ll be wishing that a platoon of alpha males wearing a globe and anchor would be there to rescue her stupid ass.
But no. It won’t be so.
My young daughter surprised me while watching the show by saying, “You know Dad, sometimes she looks like a crone.”
Kids say the darnedest things.
Well, L. Ron Hubbard Junior (aka Ronald DeWolf) once described Scientology as “black magic spread out over a long time”, in a 1983 interview. I would not be surprised if its practitioners started taking on characteristics associated with witches.
The Left are such morons: Handmaid’s Tale more closely resembles islamic rule than any Conservative nightmare these twits can dream up.
What motivates lesbians to have this peculiar fantasy? It seems submissive...
