Nominee Reactions To The 2025 Golden Globe Awards

The nominations for the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards were announced earlier this morning and were collecting reactions from a few of the nominees. Please see quotes below and circle back to this page as it’s updated throughout the day.


“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.”

“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.

“Thanks to the Golden Globes for this huge honor. I want to thank Edward Berger for our wonderful collaborations and the huge inspiration. Congrats to all other nominees. I am thrilled for Edward, Ralph, Peter, Isabella, and everyone involved in making CONCLAVE.”

  • Volker Bertelmann, composer – “Conclave

“It’s a real honor to be acknowledged by the Golden Globes in this way. With every film you take a great leap into the unknown, but with collaborators like this – my amazing department heads, the script from Peter Straughan, my wonderful producer Tessa Ross, Ralph, Stanley, Isabella, the whole incredible team – that leap feels safe and you journey together. This nomination is really delightful. Thank you.”

  • Edward Berger, director – “Conclave

“I am honored and delighted to receive this nomination. CONCLAVE has been a very special project for me – the collaboration throughout the whole process has been really rewarding, and I could not be happier that audiences around the world seem to be reacting so positively.”

  • Peter Straughan, screenwriter – “Conclave

“I have just learned that I was nominated for the very prestigious Golden Globe as best supporting actress for our film CONCLAVE. Right now, all I can think of is my parents Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman and feeling  grateful I am their daughter. The words from the prayer “ honor the father and the mother ..” roam around my brain, making me feel proud of myself. My heart also skips a few beats when I think to all the wonderful talent who made CONCLAVE. First of all, Edward Berger and Ralph Fiennes. I need a bit of time to find the right words to thank the voting members of the Golden Globes for this great honor.”

  • Isabella Rossellini, actress – “Conclave

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.

  • Yura Borisov, actor – “Anora

“I am thrilled and honored and surprised to be acknowledged so generously by the Golden Globes.  And if anyone can track down the mercurial Kieran Culkin, please give him a hug for me and congratulate him as well!”

  • Jesse Eisenberg, actor & writer – “A Real Pain

“It’s an honor to be nominated for the Golden Globes and, especially amongst creators that I admire so much. I am so very grateful to our producers, our US distributor Sideshow and Janus Films, all of the financiers, and our incredible team for trusting me and for their passion, hard work, and pure talent. We took some big risks and made this film in a truly unconventional way. There were times when I wasn’t sure we could pull it off, but somehow, this small independent film made in Latvia, France, and Belgium by a young and passionate team has reached a global audience. In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined that this group of fearless animals would mean so much to so many people. This nomination has proven to me that filmmaking—and especially animation—can transcend cultural or any other kind of boundaries to unite us and help us see the world through someone else’s eyes, which is more essential at this moment than ever before. Thank you so much.”

  • Gints Zilbalodis, filmmaker – “Flow

“Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for nominating VERMIGLIO. This film is a story that is personal to me and I am deeply humbled to see that it has resonated with others as well. We made this film on location in Vermiglio, the town where my father was born. I owe a special thank you to those mountains that helped raise generations of my family. I could not have brought this story to life without the help of the cast and crew that worked to tell it with me. I want to congratulate them on this nomination as well as the remarkable group of filmmakers nominated alongside me. It is such an honor. Thank you.”

  • Maura Delpero, filmmaker – “Vermiglio

“Chee Hoo! MOANA 2 is about the power of connecting to community, and it took a community of talented artists at Disney Animation to create this film. Enormous gratitude to each of them and to the Golden Globes!

  • Directors Jason Hand, Dana Ledoux Miller, David G. Derrick, Jr. & Producers Yvett Merino and Christina Chen –Moana 2

“What a tremendous honor to be included in this very talented group of actors this morning. A COMPLETE UNKNOWN was a 5 year labor of love for me, so it is very moving to receive this distinction. While on the surface 1960s Greenwich Village would look to have little in common with Arrakis, it was the open mindedness and groundbreaking culture of the 1960s in America that has ultimately given birth to these projects some 60 years later. THANK YOU”

“I think in truth this is a compliment to our whole terrific ensemble of actors, which Timothee led so brilliantly.  And if it helps connect more people to the inspiring life and spirit of Pete Seeger, even better. And since for me Denzel Washington is the greatest actor of our time, it’s a thrill even to see my name adjacent to his for one morning! We all walk in his shadow.”

“I am thrilled to celebrate my friends Timothee Chalamet and Edward Norton’s well deserved Globe nominations for their brilliant portrayals of Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger in our film A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. And, of course, I’m also honored to share a Best Dramatic Picture nomination with my producing partners Fred Berger and Alex Heineman. Our film attempts to reanimate a glorious moment in time and the unique young artists whose poetry, passion and independent thinking still resonate around the world 60 years later. Congratulations and love to all!”

“On behalf of the team behind A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, we are beyond grateful for today’s Golden Globe nominations! Bob Dylan’s enduring legacy, which has been a profound inspiration to so many around the globe for over half a century, fueled all of the artists who came together to tell this story. We’re thrilled to share the film with audiences this month and to introduce Dylan’s timeless work to a new generation.”

“Thank you to the Golden Globes for the nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama. I’m truly grateful, overwhelmed… and blessed to wake up this morning to this exciting news…

I share this beautiful nomination with The Last Showgirl Family, my family, and my hard working companions on this interesting journey…Thank you to Roadside Attractions, it truly is a team effort. Congratulations to my friend Miley Cyrus and all the nominees

It is never too late to dream,
to start again,
to stay open to possibilities –
we are not all
so lucky-

I wish everyone my love and thanks while I navigate this new exciting chapter.

Love,
Pamela”

It’s an honor to be nominated for Best Original Song alongside my friends Andrew Wyatt and Lykke Li. Pamela is graciously sharing her moment with us. I am continuing to root for her, it’s so fun to watch her shine.

“On behalf of the entire cast and crew of THE WILD ROBOT I wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the members of the Golden Globes, a group of people from all over the world, for their recognition of this story of a lost robot whose relentless kindness and compassion changes everything. Your four nominations for our film, incredible score, and song,  mean so very much to everyone who lent their precious talents and time to a movie that struck out into uncharted territory. For all of us, it was the film of a lifetime.”

“We are honored and humbled to be considered among such diverse and powerful films in what has been an extraordinary year for Animation. THE WILD ROBOT has been a career defining moment for all involved and we are grateful to the members of the Golden Globes for this incredible recognition of our film – and music –  in which nature and technology find an unlikely balance through kindness, empathy and community.”

Thank you to the Golden Globes for this incredible honor. To Chris Sanders, thank you for this beautiful world, your trusting collaborative spirit, and for making music a character in this story. And thank you to Jeff Hermann, DreamWorks, and Universal for believing in me and this music to help bring your beautiful story to life.

On behalf of my fellow writers, we are absolutely over the moon that our heartfelt song, “Kiss the Sky,” has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award! In a year filled with such extraordinary music in film, being recognized among so many inspiring songwriters is truly an honor. We’re so grateful for this incredible acknowledgment and very proud to be part of this unforgettable musical journey with DreamWorks Animation’s THE WILD ROBOT.

  • Maren Morris, “Kiss the Sky” from “The Wild Robot” performer and co-songwriter

“It’s an absolute honor to see our film nominated for a Golden Globe, and to be recognized alongside some of the most prestigious names in animation. We are really proud of the whole crew and team in Bristol.”

“On behalf of my producer Liz and I, Sarah, Kodi, Jacki and  all the many artists here in Australia who worked on the film, we are all tickled Pink that our little blobby snail film has been nominated for a Golden Globe. Grace Pudel looks forward to meeting you all on the red carpet in January.”

“I’m beyond grateful to the Golden Globes for the incredible recognition, of me and of A DIFFERENT MAN and THE APPRENTICE — two films that speak to our ability to be fearless, to confront important issues, to ask questions that shed light and inspire thought. I stand on the shoulders of brave writers, crews, actors and artists who were courageous enough to take risks. Thank you Golden Globes for shining a light on us today!!”

“THE APPRENTICE has been a fight every step of the way – to get made, to get seen. It has been difficult to find support for this film because of its charged subject. So I cannot overstate how grateful I am to the Golden Globes for this recognition and for its willingness to support the work we did on the grounds of its artistry. I am indescribably honored to be among these other nominees. I believe Ali Abbasi and Gabriel Sherman have made a fearless and essential film. It was once said that behind every institution is the shadow of a man. I believe that behind the United States in 2024 is the shadow of Roy Cohn, a shadow that we ignore at our peril. I am also deeply grateful to Ali Abbasi and producer Amy Baer for giving me this opportunity and for all the heart and courage they brought to shepherding this film.”

“We’re honored the Golden Globes has recognized Inside Out 2 with nominations for Best Animated Feature and Cinematic & Box Office Achievement. Inside Out 2 is about being your true self and embracing the role that each of our Emotions plays in our daily lives. Since the film came out, we’ve heard from parents, teachers, psychologists, friends, and even teens and kids themselves, about how impactful this film has been in providing visuals and a vocabulary to better understand oneself. To us, this is the greatest gift, and so a recognition like this truly brings Joy to our consoles.”

  • Kelsey Mann & Mark Nielsen, Director and Producer – “Inside Out 2
