Now can someone please explain who this 'Meryl Streep' woman is?!"
Amy Adams for Best Supporting Actress in Big Eyes: "Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press for this honor. It's so exciting to be nominated for a film I really enjoyed making and I'm so proud to have been a part of Tim Burton's vision in sharing Margaret Keane's story alongside Christoph."
Michael Keaton on best actor nom for 'Birdman': "I'm so honored the HFPA has recognized my performance in BIRDMAN. It's not every day you get to work on this kind of project or with an ensemble of actors as talented and inspiring as this cast and I am so grateful to our director, Alejandro Iñárritu, for the opportunity."
Emily Blunt on best actress in a comedy or musical for Into the Woods: Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press for embracing the Baker's Wife and recognizing this film that I am so proud to be a part of. Playing this part made me stretch myself as an actor and muster up any courage I could to find my singing voice. It was so worth it to be a part of Rob Marshall's beautiful and moving film that means so much to me."
Ricky Gervais, on best actor in a TV comedy for his Netflix series, Derek: @rickygervais Thanks for supporting #derek from the very beginning when the usual suspects wanted it to fail. I loves you. #Emmys #GoldenGlobes
Patricia Arquette, nominated for best supporting actress for Boyhood:@PattyArquette: This is much better than the boring wrapping paper dream I was having.-to wake up to @goldenglobes nominations! Thank you!
Colin Hanks, nominated for best supporting actor in a TV series, mini-series or TV movie for Fargo:
@ColinHanks: Wow! Normally when your phone starts ringing that early in the morning, something bad happened. Honored.
Lorde: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1's 'Yellow Flicker Beat' for Best Original Song: "I am so shocked and happy to know that 'Yellow Flicker Beat' has been included in the running for Best Original Song. I thought Katniss was one of a kind when I first laid eyes on her in a cinema in 2012 -- a rough, sparkling diamond of a mind. It was a privilege getting to step inside her head and speak her thoughts, even for a brief moment. Getting to write a song for a film like The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is a truly singular experience, and I am blown away that that experience got me nominated for a Golden Globe. I'll see you there."
