Sarah Paulson for Variety + signed on for “Ocean’s Eight”

“As an actor, you’re always afraid that you don’t belong, especially when you keep getting let into rooms that you’re not sure you should be in, with more people that you respect and admire,” she says. “You say to yourself quietly, ‘I hope they don’t realize that they let me in here and make me leave.’ Somehow, standing there with all of those people, their reaction made me think that I belonged.”

Murphy calls Paulson’s win “the proudest moment of my career,” on a night that saw “The People v. O.J. Simpson” collect five trophies. “I was always disappointed when Sarah didn’t win,” he says of prior years. “But it was meant to happen this way because Marcia won.”
Murphy was the first person Paulson saw when she got back to her seat, and she says he pointed to his face to show that he’d been crying. “Now we don’t have to leave the country,” he told her.
“He wanted [success] for me because I think he really sees me,” she says. “He knows the why of it. He knows it’s going to make me feel that I’m tethered to something in this business that we’re in. He knows that I come from a fractured home and that this is going to make me feel more linked to something in my family of choice — this community that I work in. He wanted it for me because deep down he’s one of the more vulnerable, caring, gentle people you could possibly meet.”

Now Variety can confirm that Paulson has officially signed on for “Ocean’s Eight,” with Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna, Helena Bonham Carter, Mindy Kaling, and Awkwafina. The film will be directed by Gary Ross.
Among the flood of congratulatory messages she received after the Emmys was a text from Bullock.
“I had an emoji from Sandra Bullock!” she laughs. “That’s a really good day.

But for now, she’d like to head behind the camera: Angela Bassett helmed an episode of “American Horror Story” this season, and Paulson’s working up the courage to ask Murphy to give her a shot.
“I understand the tone of the show. I know what Ryan responds to and doesn’t respond to, and I’m very interested in story,” she says. “I think it would be a safe place for me to try — where I would have a really big cushion around me, that if I fell, it wouldn’t hurt too much.”
