Nominations for the 2020 Golden Globes have been revealed and that means a lot of happy actors, producers and writers who get to party at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Jan. 5. Here’s a rundown of their reactions as they come in.
“Beyond thrilled – for the show of course, but in particular for our new cast. We all knew how hard it would be to follow the previous gang – but they have done that and more. We could not be happier with the audience response around the world and thank the HFPA for this acknowledgement.”
– Peter Morgan, “The Crown,” Best Television Series Drama
“What a beautiful morning for ‘The Morning Show’! Feeling grateful to be able to bring this story to light alongside a most brilliant group of artists – our cast and crew who worked passionately from their hearts and souls to continue the conversation of power, greed, and toxicity in the workplace. It is an important time, and a privilege, to be able to tell stories and create art that reflects the times we are living in. Thank you HFPA for this incredible honor and for also recognizing Jennifer and Reese. Working with them is a dream come true. Kerry, Michael and I are blown away!”
– Mimi Leder, Director and Executive Producer, “The Morning Show,” Best TV Series – Drama

Everyone in our Politician family has worked so hard on our show and done so with such love, so I’m very grateful that the HFPA has recognized us and I’m proud of my extraordinary ensemble. Congratulations to all the other very deserving nominees (especially my best friend Beanie Feldstein)!!”

“Many thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for recognizing ‘Big Little Lies,’ Nicole Kidman, and Meryl Streep!

This could not be possible without the help of HBO for always supporting a bold vision – one that started with the amazing Liane Moriarty and David E. Kelley.”

“This is thrilling, especially given ‘Unbelievable’s’ challenging subject matter. To see all the hard work of our whole team honored by the HFPA in this way is really exciting. It’s equally thrilling to see Toni, Merritt and Kaitlyn to all be individually recognized for their remarkable performances. They’re a dream team of actors who each brought so much to Unbelievable, and are all fully deserving of this great honor.”
– Susannah Grant, “Unbelievable,” Best Television Limited Series
“What a ridiculously surreal, special morning. Thank you to the HFPA for this beautiful nomination amongst the most extraordinary women. And to get to be there with my partner on this journey – Kaitlyn Dever, my life partner – Ben Platt, and my Lady Bird – Saoirse Ronan, is too much for my heart.”

“Everyone at LAIKA is absolutely thrilled to have received a Best Motion Picture – Animated Golden Globe nomination for Missing Link. It takes more than a ‘village” to create a LAIKA movie, it takes a ‘legion’ of talented artists and technologists to bring our original films to audiences around the world. At its core, Missing Link is about finding out who you are in this world and where you fit in…for the LAIKA team that means always evolving the stop motion animated art form to tell unique stories with bold and memorable characters. A most sincere thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this acknowledgement.”
– Chris Butler, Director, Arianne Sutner and Travis Knight, Producers, “Missing Link,” Best Animated Feature

“A heartfelt thank you to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honour. I have long wanted to move away from comedy and do something uncommercial, not reliant on jokes, that few people would see – which I achieved with the ‘The Brothers Grimsby.’ I am hugely proud of ‘The Spy’ and thrilled that it has been seen and embraced by audiences around the globe. I share this recognition with Eli Cohen’s family and everyone who worked on ‘The Spy.’ I’d also like to express my thanks to the brilliant team at Netflix and to our visionary writer/director Gidi Raff.”

“Bringing Harriet Tubman to life for the first time on the big screen has meant the world to me, and to do so with an incredibly talented and diverse group of filmmakers has been an absolute honor. To be nominated for both my performance and the song I had the privilege to co-write for the film is a testament to Harriet’s enduring legacy and a celebration of her incredible story, which is long overdue. I am grateful to the HFPA for this recognition and feel truly blessed and humbled to be included on a list of such incredible artists. To say that this is overwhelming and a dream come true is putting it lightly. I’m excited to attend my first Golden Globe awards, and to share the night with friends and people I love is icing on the cake. This is beyond my wildest dreams.”
– Cynthia Erivo, “Harriet,” Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, Best Original Song
“I am humbled to be in the company of the other honorees. ‘Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood’ is a celebration of cinema, a film that would not exist without the vision of Quentin Tarantino. It is a love letter to the city of Los Angeles and the people who make this industry so incredibly special. A heartfelt thanks to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this recognition.”
