Russell added, “I got to meetKathy Bates, who is sort of my person. That’s what’s really fun about the Globes.”

At this year’s award ceremony, Russell is nominated for best actress in a drama for her performance as Kate Wyer in season two ofThe Diplomat. The nod is her fifth Golden Globe nomination, and she was nominated in the same category for season 1 in 2024.

The second installment of the hit series followed Russell andRufus Sewellas politics' most complicated couple, Kate (Russell) and Hal Wyler (Sewell).

Fans of the series saw them continue to navigate a treacherous global power balance from the U.K. amid their ongoing relationship troubles. This seasonAllison Janneyalso joined the cast, which Russell said “really complicates the mix of it all.”

“She’s everything you want her to be,” she said of working with Janney. “She’s gracious and funny and smart and cool.”

In addition to Russell, both Janney and the series were also nominated at this year’s Golden Globes.
