Starry Reactions to the Golden Globe Nominations

Early this morning, Sandra Bullock got a couple of Globes – that is, of course, Golden Globe nominations, which were read by John Krasinski, Diane Kruger from Inglourious Basterds (also a multiple nominee), and Justin Timberlake:



The actress, who’s had quite a big year, received two nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, one for Best Actress in a Drama for The Blind Side, and another for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for The Proposal.

“I am beyond stunned,” she said. “Just to be included in the company of these amazing women I have so admired through the years has left me slack-jawed with awe.”

I was hoping Bullock would get recognized, so I’m very happy for her.

Meanwhile, Glee star Matthew Morrison, nominated in the Best Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical, reacted to the news by saying, “Well, we just won sectionals, and now Glee’s going to the Golden Globes. It’s been a good week for us.”

Said Morrison’s co-star, Jane Lynch, of her own nod in the supporting category, “This is really a lovely dream. It was so fun to come to work this morning. The kids are beside themselves with excitement [the show’s up for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical]. It’s great.”

Others like Marion Cotillard, Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical nominee for Nine, were awakened with the good news. “I got a phone call that woke me up and heard ‘Congratulations,’ and I knew what it was about. “I’m just so happy! How couldn’t I be?”

For her part, A Single Man’s Best Actress in a Supporting Role nominee Julianne Moore said, “I am so honored and thrilled to be among the Golden Globe nominees this year. I am happy for everybody – particularly my friend Colin Firth [who’s up for Best Actor in a Drama]!”

Newcomer Carey Mulligan (An Education), a Best Actress in a Drama nominee, thanked “the Hollywood Foreign Press for making my mum cry in the grocery store. I’m honored and completely speechless.”

Oh, and for more starry reactions…get on the Google. I’m a little pissed Lost got pretty much ignored. The awards will be handed out on Jan. 17.
