The work I do on ST has been the most satisfying of my career, due to the brilliance of all departments but of course most especially the writing and directing of the Duffer Brothers and the directing and producing of Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen and the generous license to play that Netflix gives us. My co-stars are all so inspired and inspiring to work with on a daily basis, and I surely wouldn’t be nominated without the special chemistry I had this past season with Millie, Winona, Finn, Noah, Sean, Paul and all the rest. Their work makes me shine. They make it easy for David and Hopper to look good.”

Allison Janney – I, Tonya: “I am so thrilled to be recognized for the role of LaVona in ‘I, Tonya’!” the Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture nominee stated. “My wonderfully talented friend, Steven Rogers, wrote the part for me which makes it so much sweeter.

James Franco – The Disaster Artist: “Thank you to the HFPA, who have been supportive of my work since I played James Dean 16 years ago. I am grateful that they have recognized our film “The Disaster Artist” for Best Comedy, and for nominating me as an actor. This movie could only have happened because I was supported by my family and friends. I acted opposite my brother, Dave, and it was produced by my friend of 20 years, Seth Rogen, and his company Point Grey. From the incredible writers, Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber, to the amazing cast, and our regular crew, this movie was blessed and a gift to be a part of. I’m sure the real Tommy Weiseau is pretty happy right now too.”

Frankie Shaw – “SMILF”: “I can’t believe it! What started as a little short film I shot in my friends bedroom turned into this. I am so honored for the show to be recognized and for our name to be up there with all of these amazingly creative and talented people. Thank you to Showtime for believing in us, and thank you thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press!!!”

The Duffer Brothers – “Stranger Things”: “Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press for recognizing our second season and our Chief’s phenomenal performance! To be nominated again means so much to us, and it’s a real testament to the incredible work by our very special cast and crew, who put so much heart into making this show. We are also thankful for the support of our incredibly loyal fans, who inspire us daily — and are making great use of the Hopper dancing GIF today!”

Jessica Biel – “The Sinner”: She told THR, “I didn’t really forget about the nominations — but I’m alone, without my child, for the first time in quite a while. My son stayed with my mom last night. So I turned off my phone. I didn’t set my alarm until 8 a.m., which never happens, but then I woke up to my assistant calling the house lime at 5:30 a.m. Who does that? It’s cruel, but also amazing, because of what she said. We’re still trying to work out what a second season of The Sinner would be, but my producing partner [Michelle Purple] and I are going to stay part of this for its run — whatever it may be. It’s our baby. Hopefully we’ll know where this goes next soon.”

The 2018 Golden Globes will be hosted by Seth Meyers & will take place on January 7, 2018.
