It's nice to get your glad rags on for awards like the Baftas, but it doesn't happen all the time.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think anyone expected me to get the BAFTA. The bookies didn't have me down. It's definitely made a huge difference in my career, but I don't dwell on it.
I don't know what's going on that I'm hosting the Emmys during really hard times. But I guess it's an honor and a privilege that I'm the one who gets to try to walk that line of making people feel good.
I love watching the Oscars and seeing everybody saying all that 'it's an honour just to be nominated' rubbish. Then you see their faces when the split screen comes up as the winner is announced - the losers are all smiling through gritted teeth and looking as if they just swallowed half a pound of soor plooms.
As a young girl, I was too intent on getting to London and drama school and out of east Yorkshire to think about winning Oscars. I did win a Bafta once, and was so unprepared for it I jabbered on for a minute - a minute too long.
The Emmys is great, but the Golden Globes, you have the stars of television and the stars of movies in one place.
It's a great way to start the day, hearing you've been nominated for an Emmy. It's just thrilling.
I love awards, especially if I get them.
The Emmys seem like an entity unto themselves that have an agenda that sometimes corresponds to quality, sometimes doesn't.
The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.
The BAFTA is both absolutely fantastic and sort of meaningless at the same time.
