Reactions from some of the nominees for the 77th annual Golden Globes:
———
“I set my alarm for when it was happening, because I wanted to be on Facetime with my best friend Beanie Feldstein, and we both got nominated. It was surreal. We’ve had a lot of parallel experiences. When we get to experience something together, it’s 10 times more special.” — Ben Platt, nominated for best actor in a television series, musical or comedy for “The Politician," said in an interview.
“To be calling Ben (Platt), who I carpooled with to high school every day singing show tunes, for us to be able to go to this huge spectacular awards show together is just so surreal... We’re like the same person in two bodies.” — Beanie Feldstein, nominated for best performance by an actress in a motion picture - musical or comedy for “Booksmart,” said in an interview.
“To be listed (in a category) with those guys who are phenomenal actors, it's very humbling. I look at their performances and they’re incredible. I’m truly humbled. It’s nice to be included. I’m honored.” — Paul Rudd, nominated for best performance by an actor in a television series in a musical or comedy for the Netflix show “Living with Yourself,” said in an interview.
“We get sort of blind to what survivors actually have to go through, it’s not just the assault. It’s the series of having to retell the story over and over again, and to have the fear of not being believed. I was really glad we were able to show that.” — Kaitlyn Dever, nominated for best performance by an actress in a limited series or motion picture made for television for “Unbelievable," said in an interview.
“I was with my wife at home when we heard the news and she started kissing me. I would like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the nomination, so it would give my wife a reason to kiss me.” — Josh Cooley, the director of “Toy Story 4," which was nominated for best motion picture, in an interview.
“Making 'Marriage Story' with Noah Baumbach and our incredible cast was one of the highlights of my career. This morning's nomination by the HFPA is a beautiful way to celebrate the work we did together.” — Scarlett Johansson, nominated for best performance by an actress in a motion picture for “Marriage Story," said in a statement.
"I'm sure Rudy would be beyond thrilled to know he made it to the Golden Globes!" — Craig Brewer, the director of “Dolemite Is My Name,” which is nominated for best motion picture - musical or comedy, said in a statement.
