From Ariana Grande:
I’m floored and honored to be recognized by members of the Golden Globes. It’s impossible to find my words, but I am simply, so deeply grateful for this acknowledgement. Thank you Marc Platt, Jon M. Chu, Donna Langley and Universal for your trust, support and belief in me. I’m so thankful to share this moment with you and to be on the other side of the rainbow now, celebrating the work of this remarkable cast, my dear sister Cynthia Erivo, and all of our Ozian family.” – Ariana Grande
From Cynthia Erivo:
“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.
Jon you and your wonderful dedication to this work, your love of cinema and storytelling and care for each one of us on your set is why we’re all experiencing this now, thank you.
Ariana Grande-Butera, my little sister, baby girl I love you. I’m so proud of you. You’re so deserving of this moment and I’m glad I get to share the seconds and the moments and the days and the years with you. This journey has been so unbelievably special, and I believe it is the company we have kept together that has made as special as it has been and will continue to be. May there be many many more journeys to take both on and off screen, it is an honor to be able to hold your hand.
And to Amy, Karla, Mikey, Demi and Zendaya – being named alongside you powerhouses is one of the truest honors of them all and I can’t wait be in a room celebrating you all!! Congratulations, ladies!” – CYNTHIA ERIVO
From Karla Sofia Gascon: 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. It’s incredible to be recognized alongside my costars. I’m so grateful to Jacques for the gift of Emilia. We couldn’t have created the world of EMILIA PÉREZ without the amazing artistic technical team on the film. 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
From Demi Moore:
“It’s such an honor to be nominated alongside this brilliant group of women, these talented artists whom I respect and admire greatly, and am lucky to call friends, both new and old.
Thank you to the Golden Globes for this incredible honor and recognizing the film, Coralie for her dynamic unique script and directing, and my beautiful co-star and partner on this wild journey, Margaret Qualley. I couldnt have done it without her!
Playing Elisabeth Sparkle in THE SUBSTANCE has been one of the most challenging and rewarding of my career. It pushed me to step out of my comfort zone but there is no greater reward than being able to do meaningful work. “ – Demi Moore
From Coralie Fargeat:
“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 Mooreand 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.
Coralie Fargeat, filmmaker / The Substance
From Nicole Kidman:
“Wow!!!! Thank you to the members of The Golden Globes. I am so grateful to be included on this extraordinary list of nominees and to Halina Reijn for trusting me with the role of Romy. I share this with Harris, Antonio, Sophie and the entire cast of BABYGIRL.” – NICOLE KIDMAN
From Yuri Borisov:
I’m honored to be nominated for a Golden Globe alongside performers I deeply admire. I am humbled to be recognized for this role in my first English language film. Thank you for all of your support of the film and I celebrate this with Sean, Mikey and the entire cast.
ANORA is a feeling, a film about how hope and love can connect humans in the most unexpected of ways, and it has been the honor of a lifetime to see audiences connect with the film across the globe.
From Hugh Grant:
“I feel like a gate crasher. But a very warmly received one. Massive thanks to the Golden Globes and to Scott Beck and Bryan Woods for spotting my need to kill, and to A24 for sponsoring it.” – Hugh Grant
And Denzel Washington:
“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.”
