FALLON//Getty ImagesJohn Shearer//Getty ImagesThis is Wood’s first Emmys ceremony. The White Lotus is among the most nominated shows of the night with 23 nods.In July, Wood expressed her gratitude for the Emmy recognition, posting a clip of her character Chelsea and writing on Instagram, “AMOR FATI ❤️ I’m sharing my ultimate Chelsea. Whatever you think of her and Rick there is no denying that she experiences nirvana here. They are real. This is real. A glimmer. It doesn’t matter what came before or what comes after, in this moment she has total gratitude. I haven’t processed my @televisionacad nom but I know it was a glimmer for sure. I love you, Chelsea. Thank you ”View full post on InstagramEarlier this year, Wood spoke to ELLE about playing Chelsea and how much the character reflects the show’s creator and writer, Mike White:It’s so intimate because Mike obviously expresses so much of himself through these characters. The show is obviously so acerbic and sharp and it just nails those horrible human fatal flaws like ego and greed. He’s so good at that, but he’s actually a real optimist. In real life, Mike is incredibly hopeful, joyful, mischievous, and playful, which you can feel. But I don’t think the optimism comes through that much in the show. It could be a bit cynical in a great way—that’s what we love about it.I felt so honored to play Chelsea because it felt like she was that part of Mike that is the optimist, that does have hope, and that leads with her heart. Mike is such an empath and he feels so deeply, so it felt like a privilege to play that facet of him. She’s an actor’s dream because she is just all feeling. She could take a bit more time, I think, to have some thought. She just tends to [be] stream of consciousness and just go for it. And she’s pretty impulsive, but she is an Aries, so that is inevitable.I just also love her changes, like how she can go from really hurt and wounded, but then as soon as Rick gives her a little bit of hope, she’s absolutely ecstatic again. It’s so fun to play someone who just has boundless energy, which is exactly like Mike. He has boundless energy. I mean, he’s writing, he’s directing, he’s in the edit, but yet every day he’s full of energy. Like Chelsea, she doesn’t run out. She’s got big reserves. But actually it meant that I would get back to my room and I would be so tired. But there is a depth to her too, like there always is with Mike’s characters, and you do think, why is she like that?
