“What a beautiful gift. Thank you with all my heart to the Hollywood Foreign Press for honoring this special film and my part in it. I am so very humbled by this acknowledgement. Every piece of this film was and is a gift for me. Working with Guillermo del Toro along with this exceptional cast and crew was one of the most extraordinary heart expanding experiences. He is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time I believe. And I am beyond thrilled that his vision, his ingenuity and artwork has been recognized in this way…. Thank you with all my heart thank you. I believe in magic and this is a magical thing.”
–Sally Hawkins, “The Shape of Water,” Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama
“Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honor and thank you beyond measure to the one and only Billie Jean King. She is a brilliant, brave and game changing human being and I wish to be half the woman she is someday. I share this with the whole cast and crew of ‘Battle of the Sexes, a film I feel very lucky to have been a part of.”
–Emma Stone, “Battle of the Sexes,” Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical
“Thank you HFPA for the great honor of being nominated for a supporting TV actor Golden Globe award this year, and for nominating ‘Stranger Things’ in the best TV drama category as well. It’s gratifying to be seen for my work and to be in a category with such esteemed colleagues. The work I do on ST has been the most satisfying of my career, due to the brilliance of all departments but of course most especially the writing and directing of the Duffer Brothers and the directing and producing of Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen and the generous license to play that Netflix gives us. My co-stars are all so inspired and inspiring to work with on a daily basis, and I surely wouldn’t be nominated without the special chemistry I had this past season with Millie, Winona, Finn, Noah, Sean, Paul and all the rest. Their work makes me shine. They make it easy for David and Hopper to look good.”
– David Harbour, “Stranger Things,” Best Supporting Performance by an Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film
“Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press for recognizing our second season and our Chief’s phenomenal performance!

“Aziz and I and the whole team behind the show are thrilled and honored by the nomination. We’re especially excited to eat dinner in a big ballroom with some of our heroes, like Steven Spielberg, Meryl Streep, and the fish man from “Shape of Water.” Very curious to see which entree he’ll order, the chicken or the steak. Pretty sure it won’t be fish, because that would be weird. We’d also like to thank Netflix, Universal, and of course the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for the recognition!”

“Thank you to the HFPA, who have been supportive of my work since I played James Dean 16 years ago. I am grateful that they have recognized our film “The Disaster Artist” for Best Comedy, and for nominating me as an actor. This movie could only have happened because I was supported by my family and friends. I acted opposite my brother, Dave, and it was produced by my friend of 20 years, Seth Rogen, and his company Point Grey. From the incredible writers, Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, to the amazing cast, and our regular crew, this movie was blessed and a gift to be a part of. I’m sure the real Tommy Wiseau is pretty happy right now too.”
