I share this with my entire Rustin company, my brilliant director George C. Wolfe, my dedicated producers Bruce Cohen and Higher Ground’s Tonia Davis, screenwriters Julian Breece and Dustin Lance Black, and the extraordinary cast and crew who gave me the gift of Bayard Rustin.

It was that moment, seeing people who looked like me for the first time on that stage, that gave me permission to dream about being here one day. So, to be recognized for this role, a role that deeply means so much to me, is beyond special. Thank you, Miss O, for so graciously passing the baton. Congratulations to my sister, Fantasia, on her nomination and to the amazing cast and crew for their work on this film. Lastly, thank you Golden Globes for this incredible honor, I am beyond humbled.”

I feel especially honored and grateful to be embraced by the film community as a newcomer — I can’t begin to express what it means to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“Making American Fiction was the greatest honor of my life. Seeing this deeply personal story resonate with others around the world is the icing on the cake. I want to thank the Golden Globes. And I share this recognition with our producers, our brilliant cast, led by Jeffrey Wright, our crew, and everyone who helped make this film become a reality.”
–Jeffrey Wright, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture–Comedy/Musical nominee for American Fiction

“I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this magical film experience and to have our POOR THINGS family recognized together is a dream. Bella Baxter is my favorite character that I’ve ever had the honor of playing and the journey of making this film is one that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Bella’s freedom and joyous approach to every aspect of life was infectious and I’m so lucky I got to live for a little while in her vision of the world. To get to work alongside Mark, Willem and Ramy, with Tony, Ed, Andrew and all the other incredible cast and crew was pure and utter joy. And Yorgos Lanthimos — I’m eternally in awe of his vision, brilliance, collaboration and friendship.

And thank you for recognizing “The Curse.”  Nathan and Benny created a show that is a deeply uncomfortable and unique labor of love, along with the great folks at Showtime and A24, and it’s so wonderful to have our work acknowledged in this way. Feeling extremely bewildered and thankful for it all.”
—Emma Stone, Double 2024 Golden Globe nominee for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture–Musical/Comedy for Poor Things and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series–Drama for The Curse

I had so much fun making No Hard Feelings, it almost feels wrong to accept such an honor – but I will!!! I have Gene Stupnitsky to thank for his hilarious, heartwarming script and direction. Without Gene, Maddie Barker would’ve just been left as a figment of parental nightmares. Andrew Barth Feldman, I love you to the moon and back. I treasure our friendship, thank you for being the only Percy and for every day that we’ve spent together on and off set. Thank you to Sony Pictures and to the Golden Globes voters for this recognition, I cannot wait for some lukewarm Chardonnay. Let’s go!!!
–-Jennifer Lawrence, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical/Comedy Nominee for No Hard Feelings

“I am honored by this Golden Globe nomination, standing alongside such remarkable performers. I am grateful for the opportunity to reunite with the incomparable Martin Scorsese and legendary Robert De Niro and am thankful for this entire cast and crew.

The experience of collaborating with Lily Gladstone has been truly extraordinary.  She is the soul of our film and helped to bring this sinister and painful part of our nation’s history to life.

This nomination is a reflection of a collaboration—a reminder of the transformative power that emerges from telling meaningful stories. Thank you to the Golden Globe voters for this recognition and acknowledging the tireless dedication of this entire team.”
–Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture–Drama nominee for Killers of the Flower Moon

“Merci beaucoup to the Golden Globes for this incredible recognition. We are thrilled that Anatomy of a Fall has received such a wonderful response around the world and has provoked such passionate conversations and debates once the credits roll.

We are so grateful to our extraordinary director Justine Triet, for her exceptional vision; to Justine and Arthur Harari for their brilliant screenplay, and to our cast led by the exquisite Sandra Hüller.”
–Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion, Producers of Best Motion Picture–Drama and Best Motion Picture–Non-English Language nominee, Anatomy of a Fall

“It is an honor of a lifetime to be mentioned alongside such amazing films and creatives. We can hardly believe it. “Anatomy of a Fall” tries to tell the truth about a couple when the relationship is no longer working. When everything is a negotiation, the most trivial and the most profound – sexuality, the time we have taken from each other, the raising of a child. This search for truth in intimacy, cross examining it, its impossibility, its fiction, its construction this is my obsession as a filmmaker.

Thank you to the Golden Globe voters for this memory of a lifetime.”
–Justine Triet and Arthur Harari, Best Screenplay–Motion Picture nominee for Anatomy of a Fall. Triet is also nominated for Best Director.

“This is a really wonderful honor to be recognized for this performance by the Golden Globes. I’m so proud of this film and humbled by the reaction.

Thank you!”
–Paul Giamatti, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture–Musical/Comedy nominee for The Holdovers

“Thank you to the Golden Globes for recognizing OPPENHEIMER, an extraordinary cinematic achievement, masterfully rendered by the Nolans. Cillian led Emily, Matt, myself and dozens of actors on a journey of dedication and preparedness, the likes of which I’ve never experienced. Universal has clearly demonstrated that the global film-going audience is hungry for relevant stories and meaningful artistic expression. I’m proud to have portrayed Lewis Strauss, and grateful that Chris gently pushed me toward some unexplored corners of my capability.”
–Robert Downey, Jr., Best Performance by a Male Actor in Any Motion Picture nominee for Oppenheimer

“POOR THINGS was such a great collaboration and special film, it’s gratifying to see it nominated in so many categories. Portraying Dr. Godwin Baxter, a character who turns his pained past into compassion and hope has been a moving experience.

–Willem Dafoe, Best Performance by a Male Actor in Any Motion Picture nominee for Poor Things

Thank you.”

We are so grateful to the Golden Globes voters for today’s nomination of our show, and we are so touched by the way this series has connected with people in its themes of empathy and hope. This brilliant cast and crew worked incredibly hard and poured their hearts into this work, and this nomination means the world to us.”

So a profound ‘thank you’ to every one of ‘our family’ for all their brilliant work over the past decade.”
