What a wonderful mother-daughter reaction when her mom says - she's going to win -. Mom - Mom - Mom - You can see the love between them.

I adore Sarah. She's humble, witty and just outright funny. Kisses to her.

Sarah Paulson is one of the best actresses alive right now. ❤

Talent goes a long way, but class and humility are what make it even better. Sarah has all of these qualities.

First saw her in Studio 60 and while others were kneecapping her for her performance I saw her being a huge star. She’s been killing it ever since. Bravo.

She's one of the greatest actors of her generation. Her performance in "Appropriate" was just earth-shaking. One of the greatest stage performances I've ever witnessed. I do hope she gets a Tony for it.

This made me cry. I wasn't expecting that! A couple years ago, Sarah Paulson did an interview with her sister which is pretty funny and sweet. Her mom is beautiful!

[TheSpiciestGinger]

Her mum's story is proof everything happens for a reason. Bless em both ✨💯

I love Sarah. She's been great in the American Horror Story franchise, and she was beyond fantastic in The People vs OJ Simpson. Ryan Murphy seems to know how to bring out the best in her.

I love her…she’s so talented and real.

I am a fan of musicals, but occasionally will see a play. I saw Appropriate recently and in 50 + years of theater going I can honestly say this play makes my top 10. The play itself is so well written, you are laughing and crying at the same time...also gasping at some of the revelations. Sarah Paulson gave one of the finest performances I have ever witnessed. Corey Stall is quiet through most of the play, but when he has his "big scene" at the end of act 2...WOW! Devastating!
The entire cast was wonderful. The scenic design in the last few minutes of the play I will remember always.

She struck gold with American Horror Story. Many different characters to become. Acting chops to the max!

[GroovyShelly]

A brilliant talent with such elegance and class.

[m.w.njoroge]

Sarah is a fantastic actor partly because it's obvious that her mother is clearly a fantastic mother!💕👩‍👧‍👧🥰

[anastasiabeaverhausen]

From great supporting character actress to leading lady. No one deserves it more. She is golden. She is beloved.

[valv]

What a great story! I'm so glad her mom was a part of this story ❤

[North]

now everyone gets a peak at what i had the opportunity to go and see a phenomenal cast and sarah was brilliant!! rooting for a tony for toni!

[terencemintern]

How wonderful to watch the great talent that Sarah Paulson is express the healthiest form of gratitude- humility. ❤ No wonder her work is so satisfying, the dimensions are as complex and sentient as sentient can be

[adelaferreira]

This is heartwarming, love Sarah’s mom, happy Mother’s Day by the way to her mom, and yes she is a great actress who deserves that Tony !

She's been in the Top Three on my list of People I'd Love To Hang Out With for a Day since I saw her in the OJ film. She's unique. I love her little lisp. Her candor in interviews. Rare to come upon a Sarah Paulson interview so thanks, CBS.
