“Now that my feet are hovering off the ground, I cannot even come close to properly expressing what this moment means to me. Not just because of this individual nomination but because I get to watch as this project and my WICKED family is celebrated too. Being a part of this project has been a dream come true, and playing Elphaba, a woman who speaks to everyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong and lets them know they have the power to defy gravity, has been the honor of a lifetime.
Jon and Marc, thank you for entrusting me with her. Donna Langley, Peter Cramer and the entire Universal team, thank you for all of your love, care, collaboration and hard work.

“Before I even worked with Sir Ridley Scott, I was a fan of his movies and his talent. But then he invited me into his tent (most recently into his Colosseum of GLADIATOR II) and the entire experience has been stunning. The sheer size of this particular production and the incredible cast of actors and crew he assembled, not to mention what he literally built of ancient Rome, humbles me – it humbled me every day on set. And giving me Macrinus – to embody, to enjoy, to create – what an incredible honor this is, and has been.”
–Denzel Washington, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture nominee for Gladiator II
“This has been an overwhelming morning. Tears filled my eyes when I heard the news. I want to thank all the members of the Golden Globes for this nomination.

Thank you to Netflix and to all of you who support me and live with my successes as if they were yours. This nomination gives me hope for humanity.”
–Karla Sofía Gascón, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture nominee for Emilia Pérez

“I am so honored for The Substance to be nominated for five Golden Globes alongside the work of some of the most inspiring talent in the industry!
This film was born from a deeply personal desire to confront the suffocating societal expectations that are pressuring women’s bodies and to break free those constraints that have been corseting women for so long.
I have made this movie with passion, and I am deeply grateful to all who have been involved to bring it to life – the fearless cast in Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, to our crew and producers.
Thank you to this global community of journalists that are members of the Golden Globes for having seen us and for having invited us to this amazing table, I am so proud to be part of it and that the film can continue to grow its roots into a real change.”

“Thank you to my friends at the Golden Globes for recognizing I’m Still Here and the singular Fernanda Torres, who elevated our film, and the terrific cast and crew who brought it to life. This was a collective effort beginning with Marcelo Rubens Paiva’s memoir, which tells the story of his family who were my dear friends. It’s especially wonderful considering Fernanda’s mother, the great Fernanda Montenegro, who plays the same role in the film as her daughter, was nominated for Central Station over 25 years ago. Truly humbled and grateful.”
–Walter Salles, Director of Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language nominee I’m Still Here
“This role has been one of the most profound journeys of my career, and I am honored to be recognized by the Golden Globes voters. I am so grateful to Walter Salles for his visionary direction and the trust he placed in me to bring Eunice and this story to life. What makes this moment extra meaningful is the opportunity to have shared this experience with my mother, Fernanda Montenegro, who is also in the film. Her Golden Globe nomination in 1999 for Walter’s film Central Station has always been a source of inspiration for me, and to now walk a similar path alongside her is very special.”
–Fernanda Torres, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama nominee for I’m Still Here
“I am honored that our film is nominated in the Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Non English Language categories. My deepest gratitude to the Golden Globes voters for this recognition. This is a celebration of everyone who worked so passionately on the film. From those who were there in the beginning when I was conceiving of the concept, through production with our amazing cast and crew, and now everyone who is bringing the film to audiences, like Sideshow and Janus Films our US distributor. This film is so close to my heart and to see it connect with so many people is beyond what I could have hoped for. I am thrilled that this story set in Mumbai- the city that I am from – about women grappling with the nuances of life and society is finding recognition across the world. To those in the US, India, and the UK, All We Imagine as Light is still in theaters—please do watch it in a cinema near you!”
—Payal Kapadia, Best Director nominee and Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language nominee for All We Imagine As Light
“This is one of the most surreal mornings of my life. I still can’t believe it. To say it was a shock is an understatement!
I am beyond grateful to the Golden Globes for the recognition, and to the entire team—including the creators and the cast and crew of Monsters and the team at Netflix—who made this all possible.
It has been a life-changing rollercoaster to portray Erik Mendendez, and I hope, more than anything, that in my portrayal of him, there was enough truth to acknowledge the suffering of so many victims of sexual assault. My performance and this nomination are dedicated to them.
Now I’m going to go pinch myself.”
–Cooper Koch, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television nominee for Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story
“I am thrilled and honored and surprised to be acknowledged so generously by the Golden Globes. And if anyone can track down the mercurial Kieran Culkin, please give him a hug for me and congratulate him as well!”

I stand on the shoulders of brave writers, crews, actors and artists who were courageous enough to take risks. Thank you Golden Globes for shining a light on us today!!”
–Sebastian Stan, Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy nominee for A Different Man and Best Performance by a Male Actor in Motion Picture – Drama for The Apprentice
“Thank you to the Golden Globe voters for this incredible nomination, there’s a lot of love put on this character and this story. I share this with the entire La Máquina team and most of all my brother and collaborator, Gael García Bernal. La Máquina is Hulu’s first Spanish-language series, so to see it resonate around the world in this way is extremely moving to us all. Let it be the first of many. Its success is a reminder that audiences are wanting global stories told authentically and in their native languages. We are grateful to Hulu, Searchlight TV and all of our partners who helped bring this story to life, and are thrilled that this recognition might inspire new audiences to experience it.”
–Diego Luna, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role on Television nominee for La Máquina
“Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for this nomination. It truly is a testament to Brady Corbet’s wonderful direction and his and Mona’s stunning script. It’s an honour to share this with the other fine actors in this category, and of course with all the cast and crew who went above and beyond during the making of The Brutalist.”
–Guy Pearce, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role nominee for The Brutalist
–Maura Delpero, Best Motion Picture – Non-English Language nominee for Vermiglio
–Timothee Chalamet, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama nominee for A Complete Unknown
“I think in truth this is a compliment to our whole terrific ensemble of actors, which Timothee led so brilliantly. And if it helps connect more people to the inspiring life and spirit of Pete Seeger, even better. And since for me Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of our time, it’s a thrill even to see my name adjacent to his for one morning! We all walk in his shadow.”
–Edward Norton, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role nominee for A Complete Unknown
“I am so profoundly grateful and overwhelmed. I am … groverwhelmed. Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for this nomination. To find myself in this category alongside such divine company is … whoops sorry my jaw just fell clean off and tumbled to the floor as i was looking at the list. Let me just. Pick that up.
I’m also so deeply thrilled to share in this with the incomparable genius Lauren LeFranc (she is the special sauce, she is what makes our show sing! too many metaphors? fair!), the divine supernova Colin Farrell (doesn’t seem like his combo of heart and skill level should be street legal but ok!), and our entire cast and crew, absolute titans of talent every one of them. Thank you thank you thank you.”
–Cristin Milioti, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television nominee for The Penguin
“The Apprentice has been a fight every step of the way – to get made, to get seen. It has been difficult to find support for this film because of its charged subject. So I cannot overstate how grateful I am to the Golden Globes for this recognition and for its willingness to support the work we did on the grounds of its artistry. I am indescribably honored to be among these other nominees. I believe Ali Abbasi and Gabriel Sherman have made a fearless and essential film. It was once said that behind every institution is the shadow of a man. I believe that behind the United States in 2024 is the shadow of Roy Cohn, a shadow that we ignore at our peril. I am also deeply grateful to Ali Abbasi and producer Amy Baer for giving me this opportunity and for all the heart and courage they brought to shepherding this film.”
–Jeremy Strong, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role nominee for The Apprentice
–Lauren LeFranc, Showrunner, writer, and executive producer of Best Limited Series nominee, The Penguin
“We are honored that “Dune: Part Two” has been nominated for Best Picture alongside this year’s truly exceptional dramas. We thank the Golden Globes on behalf of Warner Bros. and Legendary, our talented cast and crew, who put not only their artistry but their hearts into this film. And last but certainly not least, we send warm congratulations to Hans Zimmer, who has deservingly been acknowledged for his phenomenal score.”
—Dune: Part Two Producers Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Tanya Lapointe and Denis Villeneuve
Thank you to the Golden Globe journalists for recognizing this experiential, communal monument of a film we have made. There is no film without Colson Whitehead’s masterpiece of a novel, The Nickel Boys. Thank you for giving us Elwood and Turner, and their unbreakable friendship. Thank you to our producers and Orion Pictures for the freedom they allowed our department heads, cast and crew to tell this story just the way we did. I am so grateful to each and every one of them, every cast and crew member. I can’t name them all, so for the entire group, I will acknowledge Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, who as Grandma Hattie, is the heart of our film. The tragedy of the real-life Nickel Boys, the wards of The Dozier Academy, is not just one of mid-century Florida. The tragedy was the conspiracy of silence that buried their memories with their bodies. So, this honor from journalists from over 85 countries bearing witness to their humanity is very special.
RaMell Ross, Director/Co-Writer of Best Motion Picture – Drama nominee, Nickel Boys
“Working on “Landman” has been a truly fulfilling project. To be recognized by the members of the Golden Globes this morning is the cherry on top, and I share this nomination with everyone who contributed to the show, from Taylor Sheridan and the great cast and crew to 101 Studios and the team at Paramount+.”
–Billy Bob Thorton, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Drama nominee for Landman
