The actor thanked her dog by name but kept her chilling impression of Holmes under wraps while picking up her Emmy Monday night.
Disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes or rather the woman who played her turned out to be a big winner at the 2022 Emmy Awards.
Amanda Seyfried was awarded the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for her portrayal of Holmes in Hulus The Dropout beating out fellow nominees like Toni Colette and Sarah Paulson for the prize. While Seyfried did not showcase her wildly spot-on interpretation of Holmes baritone voice which the onetime Silicon Valley darling is believed to have deliberately deepened in an effort to sound more authoritative she nonetheless turned emotional in her speech even thanking her dog, Finn.
This is a really nice feeling she said.Speaking to the Los Angeles Times in March Seyfried revealed she would worked with vocal coach Liz Caplan to perfect her Holmes like intonation but feared playing the role would end up damaging her natural speaking voice over time.I would be talking like Elizabeth and my throat would get a little sore she said at the time. And I would be like This can not happen. Like this is freaking me out. Am I going to be able to do this for weeks? We worked together as much as we could. Sometimes we would have to work together on weekends because I was auditioning for a musical. But yes at first I was fucking scared.
