"It was very exciting, very exciting," she told The Hollywood Reporter . "And just very, very joyful. My God, the women in my category. I don't have words to describe how surreal it is and how overwhelmed I am being nominated alongside them. They're all so brilliant."
Milioti was nominated for best performance by a female actor in a limited series, anthology series or a motion picture made for television on Monday morning, along with Cate Blanchett ( Disclaimer ), Jodie Foster ( True Detective: Night Country ), Sofía Vergara ( Griselda ), Naomi Watts ( Feud: Capote vs. The Swans ) and Kate Winslet ( The Regime ) .
