Selena Gomez is riding high after receiving not one, but two nominations for the prestigious Golden Globe Awards.
The actress expressed her gratitude and excitement for her achievements in both film and television, particularly for her roles in “Emilia Perez” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
The nominations were announced early Monday, and Gomez’s reaction was nothing short of heartwarming.
In a candid video shared on her Instagram Story, Gomez captured the emotional moment when she heard her name called for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for her role in the crime thriller “Emilia Perez.”
Sitting comfortably on her couch, she was visibly overwhelmed, covering her face with her hands and exclaiming, “Oh my God!”
The moment was made even more special when she reacted to fellow nominee Ariana Grande’s name being announced, adding, “Oh my God, Ari, I can’t believe it!”
The competition in her category is fierce, featuring talented actresses like Zoe Saldana, Felicity Jones, Margaret Cooley, and Isabella Rossellini.
Despite the stiff competition, Gomez took a moment to express her pride in her fellow nominees, posting, “I don’t even know what to write.
I’m so proud of Zoe Saldana, and I’m so grateful and honored.”
Gomez also paid tribute to her co-star Carla Sofia Gaskin, who received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.
In a heartfelt message, she wrote, “Me Amor, I’m proud and very grateful to know you.”
The actress didn’t stop there; she also acknowledged the film’s director, Jacques Audiard, and songwriters Clément Ducol and Camille, who were nominated for their work on the film’s original songs, “El Mal” and “Mi Camino.”
The accolades for “Emilia Perez” don’t end with Gomez.
The film itself garnered a total of ten nominations, including Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.
Audiard’s impressive work also earned him nominations for Best Director and Best Screenplay, showcasing the film’s overall talent and creativity.
But wait, there’s more!
Gomez’s success continued with a nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for her role in the popular Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building.”
To commemorate this achievement, she shared a delightful photo of herself alongside co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, expressing her pride for her team.
“Only Murders in the Building” is competing for three awards this year, including Best Performance by an Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy, which only adds to the excitement surrounding Gomez’s nominations.
She has been recognized at the Golden Globes for the past two years for her work on the show, but the coveted award has eluded her thus far.
As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for January 5, 2025, the question remains: will this be Selena Gomez’s year to finally take home the trophy?
With her remarkable talent and unwavering dedication, many are hoping that the stars align for her this time around.
