Hugh Grant gave ET Canada a statement regarding his nomination for “The Undoing”: “I’m very grateful. Just to be nominated is a massive honour. Though I would remind the HFPA that I still have the sculpting hammer. I’m also very proud for the show itself and happy for Nicole [Kidman] and Donald for their nominations,” as his Canadian-born co-star Donald Sutherland added: “I’m thrilled. Just thrilled. For all of us, dear Nicole and Hugh. I loved doing ‘The Undoing’ with them under the eye of Susanne Bier. She was terrific and the character written by David E Kelley was a joy to play.”

Sacha Baron Cohen said of his noms: “I’m overwhelmed and humbled that the Hollywood Foreign Press has recognized both ‘The Trial Of The Chicago 7’ and ‘Borat Subsequent Moviefilm’. These nominations are a tribute to the talented creative teams that led and supported both films from inception to this moment.

“I especially want to congratulate the visionary of ‘Chicago 7’, Aaron Sorkin, and ‘Borat’’s Tutar, the incredible Maria Bakalova. These two films are different, but they share a common theme—sometimes we have to protest injustice with our own farce.

“Thank you to the HFPA for this ridiculous amount of nominations. I’m so honoured — and in the event that we don’t win, I promise to hire Rudy Giuliani to contest the results.”

Maria Bakalova added of her Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy nod for “Borat Sebsequent Moviefilm”: “Thank you HFPA for this honour! To be nominated for playing the wonder woman that is Tutar will forever remain a highlight not only of my career but life. I am so grateful to Sacha who has so deservingly been recognized today as well as the film. I am the happiest person in the whole flat world and I hope that this recognition brings more attention to some of my incredibly talented acting and filmmaking colleagues in Bulgaria and Eastern Europe.”

Lily Collins said in a statement: “Words cannot express how extremely grateful and excited I am to be nominated for my role in ‘Emily in Paris’ and for the show’s nomination!

“I’m beyond thrilled the series was recognized and I feel so lucky to be in a category including such incredible women who have kept me laughing and smiling all year long.

“The greatest gift of playing Emily has been providing a sense of escapism and fun during a time when we all needed it most. I’m so proud of this show and so thankful to the HFPA, Netflix, Darren and the entire cast and crew without whom Emily would be truly lost. I’m also incredibly proud of my MANK family and sending them so much love as well! I’m overwhelmed with happiness. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Bisous!”

Glenn Close said of being honoured for her role in “Hillbilly Elegy”: “I’m thrilled and deeply honoured to be ‘in the room’ with my fellow nominees who have done such exquisite work this year. Thank you, Ron Howard, for giving me the chance to play Mamaw, to the hair and makeup team whose artistry helped me realize her, and to Amy Adams for her fearless, heartbreaking performance.”

Director Steve McQueen added of being honoured for “Small Axe”: “I am so happy the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has recognized our ‘Small Axe’ family today. We had such a brilliant crew and cast across the anthology series, some highly experienced actors and craftspeople as well as a lot of exciting new talent who made it onto a set for the very first time. I’m just thrilled.”

Ethan Hawke shared in a statement: “Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honour. From its inception, ‘The Good Lord Bird’ was a passion project for everyone involved and I am so proud of the final product.

I am completely honoured to have been nominated today alongside such immensely talented actors, some of whom I have grown up idolizing and am so grateful to have worked alongside my now dearest friend Paul Mescal. Playing Marianne was a beautiful and complex journey and she is a character who I will always treasure close to my heart, and indeed fringe!”

Jeff Daniels added of his “The Comey Rule” nod: “’The Comey Rule’ wasn’t just a project. It mattered and continues to matter. In an important election year, I knew some people might have said ‘shut up and stay out of politics,’ but the reason I couldn’t is simple: I’ve got kids and grandkids, and I wanted them to know that I was on the right side of history. In a divided country like ours, you might risk losing half an audience with these choices, but this was just too important.

“Thank you to the HFPA for this honour, to Showtime for their support, and to Billy Ray for his tenacity. Also to the cast – half of my performance has always been in the other actors around me, so this nomination is as much yours as it is mine.”

Bob Odenkirk said in response to his Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama for “Better Call Saul”: “I’m knocked out! I spent two weeks in the desert for one episode and I’m still rehydrating! Our fifth season was the best yet. Thank you, Hollywood Foreign Press!”

We thought the movie was relevant enough last winter when we were making it. We didn’t need it to get more relevant, but it did.”

Composer Alexandre Desplat added of “The Midnight Sky” – Best Original Score nod: “This 12th Golden Globe nomination leaves me speechless and grateful to all the members of the HFPA, and to Grant Heslov and George Clooney. It all comes down to George’s virtuoso direction and to his desire for me to write not only a score but a ballet, filling the silent space and conveying the unspoken emotions of the characters. It is a great honour.”

Amanda Seyfried released the following statement addressing her Best Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture nom for “Mank”: “This is a dream come true! David Fincher gave me the opportunity of my life with being able to share Marion Davies’ story. I loved portraying this incredibly strong, funny, and earnest woman in such a rare collaboration by David Fincher and his beloved father, Jack.

“I’m beyond grateful to my friends at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for my first nomination and for recognizing a film that truly celebrates the art of filmmaking. It’s so exciting to share this with David and the cast and crew of ‘Mank’.”

The character of Frances Price began in the imagination of Patrick DeWitt, first appearing in his wonderfully funny and witty novel, and then his brilliant screenplay.

And most of all, thank you to our director Azazel Jacobs, who masterfully captured the tone and spirit of Frances’ story.”

“She is one of the most talented filmmakers I’ve ever worked with. I’m so incredibly grateful she came to me with this project and I was thrilled to see her recognized alongside Chloe Zhao and Regina King this morning. I also wanted to thank Margot Robbie and LuckyChap Entertainment for helping get this film made and their unwavering support.”

Raphael Saadiq said of his Best Original Song – Motion Picture nom: “I’m honoured that the HFPA has recognized our song “Tigress & Tweed” with a Golden Globe nomination, as well as Andra Day’s brilliant portrayal of Billie Holiday. Her musical legacy remains vital and powerful, and co-writing the song with Andra gave me the opportunity to pay homage to Holiday’s enduring artistry. I am truly blessed to work with Day, director Lee Daniels and the team that brought this chapter of Billie’s story to the screen.”

Mikkelsen added, “That Druk has made it through the eye of the needle at the Golden Globe Awards, is an enormous honour and more than we could dream of. Thomas has made his most beautiful film to date at the most difficult time of his life, and this nomination brings joy in hearts and especially Thomas’s. We are so very grateful.”

Vanessa Kirby, who was nominated in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama category for her work on “Pieces Of A Woman”, gushed: “I am truly honoured to be nominated for ‘Pieces of A Woman’, and so grateful to the HFPA for recognizing the film in this way.

“This film has always been about the mothers and families who have lost, giving a voice to their stories, and breaking the silence around something so rarely spoken about.

“Thank you to Netflix for making it possible for so many to experience, and to the HFPA for supporting this story of female courage and resilience, in the face of a grief which at times, connects us all.”

Composer Ludwig Göransson added of his “Tenet” nom: “Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for this honour on behalf of ‘Tenet’, a thrilling, dream-come-true project that creatively and technically pushed me beyond anything I have ever done.
