The Studio,<\/em> she quickly realized what she\u2019d been missing: \u201cThis feeling is the best.\u201d<\/p>\nIt\u2019s Hahn\u2019s fourth Emmy nomination in 10 years. In that time, she\u2019s emerged as an unlikely Hollywood lead, getting critical recognition and a certain degree of fame for deeply vulnerable, intimate work. She\u2019s toplined such indie gems as Private Life<\/em> and Afternoon Delight,<\/em> tenderly led lyrical literary adaptations including Tiny Beautiful Things<\/em> and Mrs. Fletcher.<\/em> She\u2019s also a new, unexpected Marvel favorite: Her star turn on Agatha All Along,<\/em> reprising the witchy role from WandaVision<\/em> that netted her an Emmy nod, is among the most wildly creative of her career.<\/p>\nThat Disney+ show, which received a handful of below-the-line Emmy nominations, remains in limbo for a potential season two, but The Studio<\/em> will soon make its way back to Apple TV+. Indeed, Hahn is plenty busy. As we chat, she\u2019s in production on an as yet unannounced project, and she recently finished filming on Madden,<\/em> David O. Russell<\/strong>\u2019s already controversial new biopic starring Nicolas Cage.<\/strong> There was a lot to catch up on.<\/p>\nVanity Fair:<\/em> Of all your recent Emmy nominations\u2014for Transparent, WandaVision,<\/em> and Tiny Beautiful Things<\/em>\u2014I\u2019d argue The Studio<\/em> is the outlier of the group, as a broader comedy. Does it feel that way to you?<\/strong><\/p>\nKathryn Hahn:<\/strong> One hundred percent, yeah, you\u2019re right. I hadn\u2019t really done anything of this size, with this much gas on the pedal, so I was very excited to jump when I read it. She was so clear on the page. It looked so fun. There was an ease to it, which is always a good sign with the comedy; it didn\u2019t feel like it was going to have to be too muscled or too sweaty. There was a flow already to her.<\/p>\nI had just done Agatha.<\/em> I had a year basically off where I was with my family, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019d worked since. This came, it was shot in LA, it was really close by, and also I knew it was such a fun part.<\/p>\nIt made me think of those big ensemble comedy movies you used to do. You\u2019ve talked about not knowing how you would fit into those environments when you first started doing them. What was it like to return to the genre here?<\/strong><\/p>\nWeirdly like a full circle. I love that feeling of the circus. There is something about an ensemble\u2014that the whole thing would fall apart if one person is not carrying their weight. Especially in a farce like this, keeping those balls in the air, no pun intended. I was so much younger when I did those [movies], and I was so in my head about it. I wasn\u2019t in improv. My training was in theater. I never thought I\u2019d find myself in comedies like that. So a lot of those early ones with [Adam] McKay or with [Will] Ferrell,<\/strong> I was definitely in survival mode.<\/p>\nWhen did you realize you were a) really funny, and b) able to keep up with those guys?<\/strong><\/p>\nDuring Anchorman,<\/em> watching how Adam worked with those actors and watching those guys do their thing, was such a lesson. It felt anarchic. Everything that I had been told not to do, we were encouraged to do. That kind of reckless, fearless, throwing yourself into it\u2014it all opened for me. I felt I had the same freedom going into the next parts. It just felt more and more comfortable, and less and less prescribed.<\/p>\nThe Studio<\/em> did unbelievably well in the Emmy nominations, so it\u2019s clearly beloved in the industry. It\u2019s also so brutal and bleak toward<\/em> the industry. What do you make of that combination?<\/strong><\/p>\nThere is such a nostalgia baked into this show\u2014there\u2019s clearly respect and awe. I can only imagine Seth and Evan growing up as these Canadian boys thinking of Hollywood. So that makes the specificity of what actually goes down a) that much funnier, and b) that much less cynical or mean. It\u2019s under this layer of people that love film. If it was just solely a mean takedown, it would not be as appealing. That\u2019s my two-cents working theory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
