In a statement to ABC News, Evan Rachel Wood, said about her nod, \"I am so thrilled to be nominated for playing Dolores; she is the bravest and most complex character I have portrayed. It is an honor to be a part of the cast of 'Westworld,' it really is the best job I’ve ever had.”

Ellie Kemper also sent a statement, which read, \"I am so honored to be included in this extraordinary group of women. And I am very grateful to Robert, Tina, and all of our cast and crew who make my job so pleasant. Go Russia! I mean, go USA!”

Here's what some other shows and stars had to say!
