The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced their nominees for the best in film and television and some shared their excitement.
Here’s a sample:
Issa Rae, best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy for “Insecure”
“I’m so thankful for my second nomination. Would absolutely not be possible without our amazing Showrunner, Prentice Penny, our dope director, Melina Matsoukas and our amazing writers. This is an acting nomination so I’m especially grateful to all my co-stars, and especially Yvonne and Jay for constantly lifting me up. Thanks to the HFPA and everybody who supports INSECURE!”
Octavia Spencer, best supporting actress in a motion picture nominee for “The Shape of Water”
“Thanks so much to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for not only recognizing my work in ‘The Shape of Water,’ but that of Guillermo, our amazing cast and the whole creative team. I’m ecstatic and truly humbled!!”
Mary J. Blige, best supporting actress in a motion picture nominee for “Mudbound”
“I am so overjoyed to be nominated for both my role as Florence and for the song ‘Mighty River.’ Dee created such an incredible film and special character for me to play. In fact ‘Mudbound’ inspired me so much, I was able to write and sing ‘Mighty River.’ Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press for this honor.”
