Golden Globe nominees have been reacting to the news of their nominations. This includes Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who are both up for acting awards for Wicked.
Erivo is nominated in the category ‘Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy’.
Erivo told the Associated Press: “This feels really surreal and wild, and I think it’s particularly special because it’s for a musical … it feels like a really beautiful full-circle moment to be celebrated for this and it’s a bit of a dream come true because there was definitely a time but I didn’t think that would ever happen … I don’t know how often you get to do a big musical onscreen. Some people who don’t go to musicals full stop are going to see this, it’s just been the most incredible thing to see happen, and my eyes are wide open every day and my brain is blown away by the connection that it’s making with people.”
Grande said on an Instagram story, “Oh my goodness oh my goodness… i am floored and honored to be recognized by members of the @goldenglobes . crying (of course)… It’s impossible to find my words, but I am simply, so deeply grateful for this acknowledgement. and congratulations to my brilliant, dear sister @cynthiaerivo, and all of our Ozian family on this celebration of our work. i can’t possibly express my gratitution.”
