'When I called the guys, I had to explain to them what the Emmys were, and I think that is very telling.” WhenTheySeeUs creator Ava Duvernay (ava) discusses the Exonerated Five’s reaction on their Emmys nomination
How did the Exonerated Five react to the Emmy nominations?
When I called the guys, I had to explain to them what the Emmys were, and I think that is very telling. This ceremony and this experience is very isolated to our industry. You have people who are really living their lives deeply, meaningfully, that have no connection with our kind of laudatory celebrations. For them, their awards came from the way that their lives have changed, the way that people are now regarding them, the way that history has been rewritten.
Niecy Nash tweeted about her nomination, emphasizing she's more than a comedic actress. How did she come to portray Korey Wise's mom? that I was really impressed with. I cold-called her. I said I had a small part in and would love to bring her down [to] be a part of that family, which she did and was lovely in a key scene. And I worked with her again on my Jay Z [and] Beyoncé visual film .
Nash's role helped showcase how wide-reaching the effects of the wrongful convictions were. How important was that context in the series? In order to "humanize" — and I think that's a violent word because it means that you've not been seen as or treated as human until this point — you have to treat the characters as humans. And that's very much the case for people behind bars and people who have to interact with and engage with the criminal justice system, particularly prison.
