Sydney Sweeney appeared in two of the buzziest shows of the last year -- ["Euphoria"](https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/27/entertainment/euphoria-review/index.html) and ["The White Lotus"](https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/09/entertainment/the-white-lotus-review/index.html) -- and earned [Emmy nominations](https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/12/entertainment/emmy-awards-2022-nominations/index.html) for both.

To celebrate her nominations for best supporting actress in the drama and limited series categories, the 24-year-old made a tearful phone call to her mom.

On HBO's disorienting teen drama "Euphoria," Sweeney had a standout season as the hopelessly romantic high schooler Cassie, who lies to her friends and family about a toxic relationship. On the prickly satire "The White Lotus," also on HBO, she's much more vicious as Olivia, a Nietzsche-reading college student whose friendship with a less wealthy pal dissolves while on a posh Hawaiian vacation. In both series, Sweeney's characters wreak havoc, albeit for different reasons.
