Golden Globe Nominees React

“My heart was racing when the call of good news woke me! I thought I overslept and missed something,  I may have shrieked 🤯 and then my mind raced double time when I understood why. Amazingly, the dog is still sleeping!  It’s an incredible and surreal honor to be nominated alongside these stunning performances and women. Thank you to my inspiration, dear friend and visionary Nia DaCosta for trusting me to be your Hedda, to our amazing collaborators at Amazon MGM Studios/Orion for championing this film, to the talented craftspeople, crew and cast most especially the extraordinary Nina Hoss – my performance is buoyed by all of their brilliance. Playing an iconic canonical character was a gift because every day I felt connected to the generations of storytellers before and after me, committed to trying to shed some light on the beautiful, impossible, scary, and wondrous thing of what is is to be a human. Thank you to the Golden Globes for celebrating what we do, and for this nomination.“🫀–Tessa Thompson, Hedda

“Thank you, Golden Globes, and congrats to my SINNERS family! This was by far my most challenging and rewarding performance— bringing to life (and death) two distinct brothers in SINNERS. We are only here because of the brilliance and relentless fearlessness of Ryan Coogler.  A decade after we first started working together, Coogler once again pushed us to unlock another level together. This film, built upon layers of complexities, taps into all of our histories. It’s a movie about love and loss, and asks us — what is the price of freedom? By recognizing this film, you are honoring our legacy and the legacy of an industry built on bold, original storytelling. THANK YOU.” Michael B. Jordan, Sinners

I am incredibly moved to be recognized by the Golden Globes today for my work as “Aunt Gladys” in Zach Cregger’s film WEAPONS, and for also recognizing the film in the Box Office & Cinematic Achievement category. To receive this recognition is a true testament to Zach’s original vision, and the work of a truly remarkable filmmaking team, including Leo Satkovich, Jason Collins, and Melizah Wheat who helped bring the look of “Gladys” to life, along with our costume designer Trish Summerville. This was a team effort, and I couldn’t have done it without them. The last few months have been overwhelming seeing audiences, critics and press alike respond to the film in such a positive way. Seeing everyone dressed up as “Gladys” has been a blast! I’d love to give a shout out to all the other women in this category – Emily, Elle, Ariana, Inga and Teyana. They truly represent what women in film are all about.
