AHS: Cult’s Adina Porter On What It’s Like to Get An Emmy Nomination | RT By The Numbers Podcast

Amid the wild and wacked-out performances that dominate Ryan Murphy’s American Horror Story series, few stand out quite so much as Adina Porter’s. The actress jumped aboard the good ship AHS for Roanoke in 2016, and this year is nominated for an Emmy for her performance as a reporter-turned-cult-member in last year’s Cult. For the special Emmys edition of Rotten Tomatoes’ By the Numbers podcast, Mark and Jacqueline sat down with Porter, a prolific TV, film, and stage actress who TV fans will know for her work in The Newsroom and The 100. She tells us exactly how she found out she was nominated – it involves some serious Sarah Paulson cussing – what it means to get the recognition, what she’s working on next, and which lucky guy will get to be her date for the big night.
