Cristin Milioti, Amanda Seyfried, Michelle Williams, and the best of our Emmy Limited Series/Movie Actress interviews
Over the past two months of Emmy campaigning, Gold Derby has spoken with several contenders in all categories. Now with voting underway ahead of the July 15 unveiling of the nominees, we have compiled 11 interviews for stars vying for Best Limited/Movie Actress, including: Jessica Biel (The Better Sister), Kaitlyn Dever (Apple Cider Vinegar), Meghann Fahy (Sirens), Meagan Good (Terry McMillan Presents Forever), Ari Graynor (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Cristin Milioti (The Penguin), Lola Petticrew (Say Nothing), Natalie Portman (Lady in the Lake), Amanda Seyfried (Long Bright River), Phoebe-Rae Taylor (Out of My Mind), and Michelle Williams (Dying for Sex). Read on for highlights from each interviews and links to watch our full video Q&As. More from Gold Derby Fast cars vs. killer dolls: 'F1,' 'M3GAN 2.0' gear up for box-office showdown 'Squid Game' Season 3: Reviews warn of a divisive WTF sprint to the finish line Biel plays Chloe, the estranged sibling of Nicky (Elizabeth Banks), who are forced to come together after someone they know is murdered on the Prime Video series. She opens the show wearing an iconic white dress covered in blood, and she laughs, "There's always something really interesting about being covered in blood. I feel like I do a lot of that in my work. There's a weird combination of things that happen to you. But specifically, that dress was chosen for that reason — that stark white color and that bright red color." Watch our complete interview with Jessica Biel. Dever plays the conniving Belle Gibson on the Netflix series in the same season she played the vengeful Abby on The Last of Us for HBO Max. She says, "When I first read Apple Cider Vinegar, I was so mind-blown. I just couldn't believe someone would go through that much to do that kind of thing. The amount of lives that she affected by lying about having brain cancer is just so horrific and terrible. I have such a personal relationship with cancer, and so I just was furious. And so yes, I was wondering that myself, how I was going to take that fury and turn that into what I ended up doing. What I found with our writer, creator Samantha Strauss, is that she was someone that just was desperately craving love and community and would do anything to get it. Getting to discover a little bit more about her background and where she comes from and how she didn't really receive a lot of love, or the love that she wanted growing up, I think that that was helpful for me to keep in the back of my mind while playing her. Watch our complete interview with Kaitlyn Dever. The Netflix series focuses on Devon (Fahy), a struggling addict who is concerned about her sister Simone's (Milly Alcock) outwardly creepy relationship with her new boss, a billionaire socialite named Michaela (Julianne Moore). Molly Smith Metzler "did an incredible job of writing these characters in such a way that there's real strength and grit and true moments of sisterhood,' Fahy says. 'Devon and Simone are often ripping each other's heads off, only in the way that sisters can do. You can say the meanest thing when there is no filter because it's your sister. So creating these moments of raw vulnerability, softness, quiet, and sadness — I just was like, 'Oh my God. I want everything to do with all of it.'' Read our complete video interview with Meghann Fahy. In the Lifetime film, Good portrays Carlie, a resilient police officer, cancer survivor, and single mother of two who finds herself opening up to a second chance at love when she meets Johnnie, played by Taye Diggs. Johnnie, a military veteran. He falls deeply in love with Carlie, helping her rediscover the possibilities of connection and healing. Having recently experienced her own new chapter of love with her husband, Jonathan Majors, Good found herself drawn to Carlie's journey. "I wanted to discover it with her," she explains. "There are parts of her story that I understand so intricately. I wanted to bring it to life in a way that empowers women, makes them feel strong and hopeful, and inspires them to believe in love again. To believe in everything life has to offer in every season — and to embrace it unapologetically." Watch our complete video interview with Meagan Good. Graynor plays real-life attorney Leslie Abramson for the Netflix series from Ryan Murphy which brought the Mendendez case back into the spotlight. She says, "It was very important to me to honor her way of being, her essence, her cadence, the way she moved, the way she gesticulated. She didn't have quite an accent, but there was a very specific way that she spoke that felt very important to me to differentiate her that felt so important to her spirit, and yet it was just subtle enough. l was afraid that people were going to be like, "What are you doing?" It was really something that I struggled with. But I think at the end of the day, there was a certain amount of faith that when you're also doing the psychological deep dive work, with what was available to me historically and in her book, but then also my own interpretation of what that means, I think, hoping and having faith that that would provide the foundational element of artistic expression that is not just a mechanical impersonation." Read our complete interview with Ari Graynor. Milioti plays Sofia, the former boss-turned-adversary to the Penguin (Colin Farrell), a presumed psychopathic killer recently released from Arkham State Hospital in the HBO Max series. The role also took a physical toll. "I'm not a stunt person," she jokes. "I'm really getting slammed and dragged! There were also very specific emotional states that I had to stay in for hours at a time. I'm even reticent to call that a challenge because I was so excited to be asked to do that. If anything, the challenge was wanting to make sure that I really landed her story. I really wanted to calibrate everything so that you see how she's driven mad." Watch our complete interview with Cristin Milioti. For the FX series, Petticrew didn't shy away from "dancing in those gray areas" in their portrayal of the controversial Dolours Price, who came of age during the height of the Troubles, a 30-year period of conflict and violence in Northern Ireland that started in the 1960s. "A character like her is not somebody that often leads a show," says Petticrew, who was last seen as Julia Louis-Dreyfus' terminally ill daughter in the 2024 film Tuesday. "What she does to a lot of people will be quite hard for an audience to get on board with and understand. As an actor, I had to really… leave all moral judgment at the door." Watch our complete interview with Lola Petticrew. The Oscar winner stars as Maddie Schwartz, a housewife-turned-journalist in late 1960s Baltimore who becomes obsessed with the unsolved murder of Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a Black woman who was found floating in a reservoir. "It was definitely the most challenging shoot of my life, but also the most rewarding," declares Portman about starring in and producing her first series. "Because I was producing, it was really just like a train rushing quickly when we were on it, and troubleshooting in between shooting and it was incredible because Alma dreamed big and always had incredible ideas and just to make them a reality and to deal with the many challenges that came up with such an incredible work." Watch our complete interview with Natalie Portman. For the Peacock series, Seyfried's character, Mickey, is a beat cop who must track down a killer preying on vulnerable women while simultaneously searching for her estranged sister. "The way Mickey's written is somebody who's in flux. She's in a constant internal struggle because she's trying to get through her days and life keeps coming at her. She's just flawed. Her generational trauma has manifested in so many ways to try to keep her safe," Seyfried explains. "I want to portray that because I think it's realistic and necessary to talk about certain things that she's struggling with." Read our complete interview with Amanda Seyfried. A pivotal step in the adaptation process for Disney was casting Melody, a nonverbal girl with cerebral palsy, played by team behind the project, including Taylor, joined our recent group discussion about the movie. 'When I was about 7 or 8, I read the book in school and I loved it,' she recalls. 'I've never seen a character like me before. ... I remember I came home that day and I screamed to my parents, 'My God, guess what, I found a character like me.'' Years later, that early connection became a life-changing opportunity. 'Even now I have no words for it … this has been the most unreal three years of my life and the best three years of my life,' she shared. 'I've learnt so much ... and now I've got a confidence that I'm really grateful for.' Watch our complete interview with Phoebe-Rae Taylor. Williams plays Molly Kochan for the FX limited series, which chronicles Molly's journey of self-discovery after she's diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer — with her best friend, Nikki (Jenny Slate), at her side through it all. She says, "What it really speaks to is how passionate female friendship really is, and that it's much more of a love relationship than a friend relationship. It's not a casual thing. It's a life-sustaining thing. We both come to it from our own best friendships, and we know what those have meant to us over the years. And so to see this brought out and made central in a storyline was something that we had both had experience with, and both wanted to make larger."

Drinking ‘Prophet & Poet' Wines With Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel Adam Morganstern Jessica Biel's entry into the wine world follows the same path as one her successful Hollywood ventures: have a compelling story and a great team to bring it to life. Her childhood friend is winemaker Jesse Katz of Aperture Cellars , known for his consistent high scores as well as a record setting sale of one of his bottles for $1M at auction. When Biel married Justin Timberlake, Katz crafted a special vintage for the celebration and then did the same for the wedding of Biel's brother Justin and his wife Rose. Sensing they were onto something bigger they all collaborated to create the new wine brand ' Prophet & Poet ' — named after Rose's shamanic healing and energy work and Justin's poetry. Rounding out the team are Chris & Ariel Jackson from Jackson Family Wines , who sourced the grapes from their prized Sonoma vineyards. Their first 2021 vintage is limited to 900 cases, composed of three reds and two whites. I spoke with Jessica Biel about the new brand, how she first got into wine and how she'd cast herself in her next detective series. When did you first start enjoying wine? My parents were not big wine drinkers so it's not something we had growing up. I really started to explore wine in my mid-20s — when I had my own money and could say what is this bottle? I can actually afford this. Let's try it. And then it was also getting to work in different places around the world. I also met my husband (Justin Timberlake) in my mid-20s. He grew up with parents that had wine every night. And they loved big bold reds and Barolos and all these others. So I was introduced to a lot of wines through them. Jessica Biel in Sonoma Adam Morganstern Was there a first bottle you remember that stood out for you? I'm not sure if it was the first - because we enjoyed a lot of wine – but the name that's coming to me right now is Tignanello. I loved that. Those bold Super Tuscans. That was the type of wine where I really started to understand what this whole thing is about. What makes people so passionate. How did the leap from being a wine lover to having your own label come about? Jesse Katz created a wedding wine for me almost 13 years ago as a lovely gift. Then we created some wine for my brother for his wedding. This was at Jesse's kitchen table, before his winery existed. As the wine has been maturing all these years it's just been getting better and better. Why don't we share it? Why don't we take the wine that we've been using to celebrate moments and memories with our family and let's give that to everybody. And if it had been any other person than Jesse, I would have said no. If it had been any other non-authentic story where I wasn't involved in it from the beginning I don't think I would have done this. I'm not a winemaker but I love wine and this one is so personal to my family and is something we've been doing with Jesse for years. It was an obvious yes. We have to do this because the story is real. What's surprised you most about the winemaking process since starting the collaboration? The intricacy of the process, from the soil to the farmers, to the grapes to the weather. I remember talking to Jesse during the harvest and he's like 'I'm going to leave the grapes on for another few hours.' I'm thinking another few hours ? Does that really make a difference? And he's like 'yes!' When to pull them off the vine, what to blend, tasting — the process is truly art. I didn't fully understand what Jesse does until I got involved. Prophet & Poet Rachid Dahnoun When you first created the wedding wine was there any direction you gave to Jesse about what you wanted? We wanted something red, beautiful and bold. And we were getting married in Puglia so it would make sense to have that kind of wine. Interestingly enough — we didn't actually drink that wine at our wedding because it was too hard to bring it over. But we've enjoyed that wine at so many other moments in our life. Do you enjoy spirits and cocktails as well? I like tequila. And I also really like a Vesper martini. I'm a vodka martini straight-up-with-a-twist kind of person. I don't like it dirty. Have you ever had a drink with one of your idols? I've had a few cool experiences having a glass of wine and a meal with Jane Fonda. I met her years ago at an amazing event her organization does annually for reproductive rights for teenagers in Georgia. And we have stayed friends and we talk and text and email. It's so cool. I saw her after an event one year and asked her how she has stayed looking so beautiful and fit and so healthy and vibrant. What is the secret? And she said 'posture!' And all of us at the table stood up so much straighter. (L to R) Chris Jackson, Jesse Katz, Rose Biel, Jessica Biel, Ariel Jackson Rachid Dahnoun You're co-starring in a new series with Elizabeth Banks called 'The Better Sister.' She also has her own wine label. Did she give you any advice? I didn't even know that for a long time. She does so many things. I wouldn't be surprised if she has ten other companies I don't know about. She's not the kind of person who makes a big deal about what she's got going on in her life. It just kind of shows up all of sudden and you're like 'wait, that's yours?' We did get to have a drink together a couple of times. She's amazing. What you see is what you get with her. She's funny. She's so smart. And she's just lovely. We had this natural sister-level comfort about us right away. You produced and starred in another series called 'The Sinner.' How did that come to life? It's based on a German book. My producing partner brought it to me and we fell for it right away. We thought 'this is pushing a lot of boundaries and is not anything we've seen on television.' And it was material I had never had the opportunity to do. 'I'm scared of it, but this one's mine. And I'm going to hang onto it real tight.' Did you see Bill Pullman in the detective role right away? He was on the top of our list because he felt unexpected. The character has a lot of darkness and intricacies and in real life he's so sweet, lovable and charming. Would you ever want to act with your husband in a mystery? Yes. I'd like to be the murderer this time though. What role would he play? He should be the detective. He should want to find me.

The 15 best TV shows of the year so far
'Adolescence' (limited series, Netflix) Where to begin? The long, cinematic camera takes that make you feel like you've intruded on a reality already in progress? The searing performances from Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Erin Doherty, and a stable of largely unknown UK actors? This tight, four-episode drama, about an adolescent (Cooper) accused of killing a female classmate, is a gut punch that diagnoses a world of contemporary problems without ever feeling like a sociological treatise. Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks in "The Better Sister." JOJO WHILDEN/Jojo Whilden/Prime ' ' (season 1, Amazon Prime Video) The apple doesn't fall far. TV luminary David Milch's daughter, Olivia Milch, created this high-grade pulp drama with Regina Corrado, a key writer on David Milch's series 'Deadwood' (speaking of peak TV). Jaggedly funny and compulsively watchable, it follows two adult sisters (Jessica Biel and Pittsfield native Advertisement 'Black Mirror' (season 7, Netflix) A funny thing happened to Charlie Brooker's future-shock sci-fi anthology series on the way to 2025. It now feels more wickedly plausible than ever, and it therefore cuts closer to the bone. The season opener, starring Rashida Jones and Chris O'Dowd, is a soul-crushing masterpiece in which life and death become a matter of coverage tiers. It's still engineered to make you laugh until it hurts really, really bad. Matthew Goode in "Dept. Q" on Netflix. Jamie Simpson/Jamie Simpson/Netflix (season 1, Netflix) Scott Frank, who made chess exciting and sexy with his 2020 Netflix limited series ' Brian Tyree Henry in "Dope Thief." Apple TV+ 'Dope Thief' (season 1, Apple TV+) Brian Tyree Henry has been doing killer supporting work for a few years now on TV (' Advertisement ' ' (limited series, HBO) From the Department of Good Timing: At a moment when the principles of the civil rights movement are under attack, HBO released the third installment of a vital project that started back in 1987. These six chapters cover the period from the late 1970s to the present, exploring issues including fair housing, the war on affirmative action, the AIDS crisis, the Obama years, and more. It plays like a series of deeply reported feature stories. 'Forever' (season 1, Netflix) The Judy Blume renaissance continues with this series inspired by her 1975 novel about two teens dealing with raging hormones, societal expectations, and, yes, first love. Series creator Mara Brock Akil has moved the action to Los Angeles in 2018, where two Black high school athletes (Michael Cooper Jr. and Lovie Simone) fall head over heels and face highly realistic obstacles. Few series have so viscerally captured the pains of being a teenager. 'Inside the NBA' (TNT) Gone, but not forgotten. In fact, not exactly gone. TNT's freewheeling pregame and halftime show is the most spontaneous and entertaining sports enterprise on the air. Now Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Shaquille O'Neal, and ringmaster Ernie Johnson are moving (for NBA broadcast rights reasons) to ESPN and ABC, where the flavor promises to be a little different. But hopefully not too different. Here's hoping the new bosses let the mountainous Shaq tumble into some more Christmas trees. Advertisement Bella Ramsey in "The Last of Us." Courtesy of HBO ' ' (season 2, HBO) It takes nerve to kill off the main character early in the second season of a hit series. It takes skill and imagination to keep the train rolling along in the aftermath. You won't find a more assured mix of prestige and popular appeal than HBO's zombie apocalypse drama, which, of course, is about far more than a zombie apocalypse. And you won't find better evidence for the blurring of high and 'low' culture than the fact that one of HBO's best series is based on a video game. ' ' (season 2, Netflix) Palestinian-American actor/comedian ' ' (documentary, HBO) A penetrating study of what it means to have a popular alter ego, and what happens when that alter ego takes over. The late Paul Reubens, better known as Pee-wee Herman, makes for a controlling, passive-aggressive, but somehow still appealing subject as he thrusts and parries with filmmaker Matt Wolf. The end results, in two parts and about four hours, ask probing questions about identity, fame, and the many guises we try on to get ahead. Advertisement 'The Rehearsal' (season 2, HBO) Comedian Nathan Fielder's first-person docuseries has moved well beyond the point of stunting. The recently completed season culminates in a surreal plane flight, with Fielder at the controls and the plane full of actors, all coordinated to make a point about cockpit communication and preventable crashes. It makes for riveting television and deadpan advocacy, delivered in a self-conscious monotone that belies a passionate sense of purpose. 'Saturday Night Live' (season 51, NBC) Maybe it was the re-election of Donald Trump, or just the right meshing of cast and writers. Whatever the reason, 'SNL' felt energized this season, like a big league pitcher getting his fastball back. The 'White Potus' sketch melded pop culture heat with political satire. The Please Don't Destroy team found a groove with its digital shorts (go to YouTube and search for 'First Class'). Michael Che and Colin Jost refined their vibe of friendly antagonism on 'Weekend Update.' And a big, 50-year-old dog showed it can learn some new tricks. Seth Rogen in "The Studio." Apple TV+ ' ' (season 1, Apple TV+) Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen's painfully funny send-up of the current movie business is certainly insidery, but it's also madcap, slapstick fun, a tasty poison pill and a lament for the difficulty of making art in a world defined by fast commerce. Throw in cameos from a weeping Martin Scorsese, a frustrated Sarah Polley, an enraged Ron Howard, and more, and you've got the satire that contemporary Hollywood deserves. Advertisement ' ' (season 3, HBO) At some point Mike White's formula of narcissistic tourists behaving horribly in paradise will wear out its welcome. But that point hasn't arrived yet. The writing and the acting — this season's standouts include Walton Goggins, Carrie Coon, Parker Posey, and the returning Natasha Rothwell — are still top-shelf, and the American idiots abroad motif carries a little extra oomph in this day and age. The coconut milk is off! What do you think the best show of 2025 is? Sound off in the comments and let us know.

Justin Timberlake praises his 'two dads' in heartwarming tribute as he leads stars celebrating Father's Day
Justin Timberlake gave a shout out to both of the father figures in his life - dad Charles Randall Timberlake and stepdad Paul Harless - in a heartwarming tribute he shared on Father's Day. In an epic throwback, the 44-year-old pop star Instastoried a snap of himself decked out in Star Search-era Western wear while posing with the Baptist church choir director, who divorced his mother Janet Harless in 1985. One year later, Janet wed Paul, so Justin made sure to post a snap of his stepdad with his 10-year-old son Silas in the tribute. Timberlake shared a third snap of one of his dads playing golf with what appeared to be his four-year-old son Phineas. The 10-time Grammy winner also posted a rare Instagram slideshow of himself embracing little Silas and Phineas. 'There's no bigger reward or responsibility that I have ever felt in my life above being a father. To teach and to learn at the same time… I feel beyond blessed,' Justin - who boasts 193.8M social media followers - gushed on Sunday. 'I see my two dads, my grandfathers, [and] my uncles more and more clearly every year that I get to experience this life with them. And I see myself more and more clearly in every moment I have with my sons, watching who they continue to become. 'You can't put a price tag on that type of generational wealth! Here's to all the Dads out there! Cheers! Happy Father's Day!' Timberlake's wife of 12 years - Jessica Biel - reposted his slideshow with the caption: 'Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!' The 43-year-old Better Sister actress also Instastoried a snap of herself with the No Angels singer and their son Phineas captioned: 'Celebrating you today and every day!' Last month, Jessica said she planned on 'taking the kids' so he 'can just go have a great' Father's Day and, considering Justin was in Denmark on Saturday, he's definitely in Europe. 'Justin loves to golf, so I hope he gets to golf that day,' Biel told E! News. 'And of course it's fun to spend time with your kids, but from everything I know about Mother's Day where you just really need a break and want a solo break, I will take the kids.' Timberlake - who gets 44.5M monthly listeners on Spotify - is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 122-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Poland's PGE Narodowy in Warsaw this Tuesday. Timberlake's wife of 12 years - Jessica Biel - reposted his slideshow with the caption: 'Happy Father's Day to the best dad out there. We love you so much!'

From 'The Better Sister' To 'Sirens', TV Has Reached Peak Eat The Rich
There's a scene in The Better Sister, Amazon's glossy thriller starring Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks, when Matthew Modine's high-powered lawyer Bill Braddock, is anxious to avoid the unpleasantness that an unsolved murder brings to a coffee date. Halfway through the conversation, he turns to Biel's Editor-in-Chief Chloe Taylor, and drawls 'I was hoping we could all go back to being rich and powerful people again'. Arguably, it's a sentence that sums up where TV is in 2025 - rich and powerful characters and narratives dominate like never before. The Better Sister is set in the world of Manhattan's elite, and their summer houses in East Hampton. Sirens, meanwhile, tells the story of a wealthy couple - Julianne Moore and Kevin Bacon - on their lavish island-based estate, complete with a lifestyle featuring yachts and galas, and a lower class troublemaker in the shape of Meghann Fahy. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE There's also the second series of Nine Perfect Strangers, the Nicole Kidman drama which sees the superrich embark on a wellness retreat, this time in an alpine resort, and Mountainhead, the film by Succession creator Jesse Armstrong, about a group of billionaires also on a retreat, while the world burns. Across series and films, these characters might have a lot materially but there's one thing they are missing: a moral compass. This is eat the rich TV - stories that centre the lives, environments and habits of the 1% but, crucially, also zero in on their flaws. That combination - whether it comes through satire or melodrama - is irresistible because it allows us, the other 99%, to watch along and feel good about ourselves as we binge a boxset over a Tuesday night stir fry. Eat the rich TV is not new. This current wave started in 2018 with Succession, Armstrong's acerbic drama about the Roy family, a series that still fuels memes and fashion put-downs (see that famous 'ludicrously capacious bag'), and continued with The White Lotus, as well as films like Glass Onion and The Menu. In 2023, Laura Craik wrote for ELLE UK on the trend, arguing the theme 'invites you to envy the characters' lifestyle and hate their entitlement but also to feel peculiarly sorry for them. Imagine drinking Veuve Cliquot at breakfast before nodding off on your sun-lounger, your diamonds glinting in the sun – yet still feeling empty inside'. In 2023, satire was the essential ingredient to eat the rich TV. As someone with progressive politics, you could watch shows with the superrich at play because the absurdity of their extravagance and entitlement was the joke. But it feels different two years on. The bite has become less sharp. Sirens, for example, ends with the assistant, played by Milly Alcock, becoming the new wife to Bacon's billionaire, with Moore cast aside, back on the ferry with the plebs. Sure, it's a bleak comment on the lure of money, but it also feels closer to a glamorous soap opera than the whipsmart sting that made Succession feel so potent. While we still devour these series, the impact is lessening. Despite star turns from legit A-listers like Moore, Fahy, Bacon and Kidman, these shows have less of an afterlife, burning bright in WhatsApp chats for the week they are launched, and soon to be forgotten. Reviews are also less than stellar - The Guardian gave the latest series of Nine Perfect Strangers two stars, while Mountainhead is being slated in Letterboxd - and the unthinkable even happened earlier this year when there was disappointment around the latest series of The White Lotus. Perhaps part of this is down to the world beyond the boxset. If, as the eat the rich TV era began, our outrage around the superrich was strong, in 2025 Donald Trump is back in the White House and Jeff Bezos is spending $10m on his 200 person wedding in Venice this month (that's $50,000 per guest). This is the new normal, reality is stranger than any fiction could be, so stories about rich people and their morally reprehensible behaviour no longer land in the same way. Will we still be watching glossy women doing bad things in designer outfits in impossibly glamorous destinations in two years' time, or will we be back down to earth? It's worth thinking about the last TV show to really make ripples: Adolescence. While the impact of the four-part series is about way more than the working-class world in which its partially set, it does show that while we might like eat the rich TV, it could also be time to change the channel. The Better Sister is now streaming on Prime. Sirens is available to watch on Netflix. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
