The composer-writer couple, who have previously won an Oscar for “Remember Me,” for “Coco” and “Let It Go” for “Frozen,” reacted to their Golden Globe nomination:
Our fans in the Philippines are among the most loyal and devoted — a big shout out to everyone in Manila, especially all the Lopezes over there! We are so happy Frozen has been so warmly embraced in Asia — it’s largely because of this that Frozen 2 exists. Mabuhay!
Robert, 44, is the youngest of only 12 people to win all four major annual American entertainment awards or EGOT (the Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony). He is also the only person to do so twice. Bobby is known for doing such famous musicals as “The Book of Mormon”, “Avenue Q” and “Frozen.”

Just woke up to this exciting news and am incredibly honored. I am beyond grateful to the HFPA, and to be grouped with such insanely talented actresses. I grew up watching the Golden Globes every year, cheering for my favorite films and actors...it is surreal that I now get to go! Wait, I do get to go right?
Lulu Wang, Director of “The Farewell,” Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language:
It’s wonderful to have this incredibly personal film recognized by the HFPA. This is a film that doesn’t easily fit into a box and I love that we can be part of a bigger conversation about what it means to be American when you’re between two worlds.
Celine Sciamma, Director of “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language:
Thank you to the HFPA for nominating PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE. This film was a true collaboration and I proudly share this honor with the entire crew and my cast, particularly Noémie Merlant and Adele Haenel.
Cynthia Erivo, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, for “Harriet”:
Bringing Harriet Tubman to life for the first time on the big screen has meant the world to me, and to do so with an incredibly talented and diverse group of filmmakers has been an absolute honor. To be nominated for both my performance and the song I had the privilege to co-write for the film is a testament to Harriet's enduring legacy and a celebration of her incredible story, which is long overdue. I am grateful to the HFPA for this recognition and feel truly blessed and humbled to be included on a list of such incredible artists. To say that this is overwhelming and a dream come true is putting it lightly. I'm excited to attend my first Golden Globe awards, and to share the night with friends and people I love is icing on the cake. This is beyond my wildest dreams.”
Scarlett Johansson, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, for “Marriage Story”:
Making 'Marriage Story' with Noah Baumbach and our incredible cast was one of the highlights of my career. This morning's nomination by the HFPA is a beautiful way to celebrate the work we did together.
Ana de Armas, Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, for “Knives Out”:

I am very grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for their support and appreciation of ‘Knives Out.’ Congratulations to Daniel & Rian and the entire cast and crew on the nomination. This role was an absolute dream for me and to be a part of such an enormously talented ensemble is a chance of a lifetime. I will treasure this moment.
Mimi Leder, Director and Executive Producer of “The Morning Show,” Best Television Series – Drama:
What a beautiful morning for ‘The Morning Show’! Feeling grateful to be able to bring this story to light alongside a most brilliant group of artists – our cast and crew who worked passionately from their hearts and souls to continue the conversation of power, greed, and toxicity in the workplace. It is an important time, and a privilege, to be able to tell stories and create art that reflects the times we are living in. Thank you HFPA for this incredible honor and for also recognizing Jennifer and Reese. Working with them is a dream come true. Kerry, Michael and I are blown away!
Taylor Swift, Co-Composer of “Beautiful Ghosts” for “Cats,” Best Original Song – Motion Picture:
I woke up today to the news that Beautiful Ghosts is nominated for a Golden Globe – it’s so cool that one of the most fun, fulfilling creative experiences I’ve ever had is being honored in this way by the HFPA.
Charlize Theron, Actress and Producer of “Bombshell,” Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama:
As a producer on Bombshell, I feel extra grateful about my nomination today and also the one for Margot Robbie. We fought to get this movie made because we thought now more than ever this was an important story to tell. Nominations and awards are so exciting, but the most important thing about them is they help get audiences to see the movies. Thank you so much to the Hollywood Foreign Press for paving the way for more people - women and men - to have another reason why they should go see this film. I share this excitement with my incredible producing partners, our director Jay Roach, our screenwriter Charles Randolph and the entire cast and crew on this film.
Jennifer Lopez, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture, for “Hustlers”:
I could not be more proud to be recognized by the HFPA! Ramona was a complicated character and it was an honor and challenge to bring her to life. Hustlers was a labor of love, sweat and perseverance that was written, directed, produced, edited and starred a group of badass women. I am proud and honored to represent them and this film.
Susannah Grant, Co-Creator of “Unbelievable,” Best Television Limited Series:
This is thrilling, especially given ‘Unbelievable’s’ challenging subject matter. To see all the hard work of our whole team honored by the HFPA in this way is really exciting. It’s equally thrilling to see Toni, Merritt and Kaitlyn to all be individually recognized for their remarkable performances. They’re a dream team of actors who each brought so much to ‘Unbelievable,’ and are all fully deserving of this great honor.
Beanie Feldstein, Actress of “Booksmart,” Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy:
What a ridiculously surreal, special morning. Thank you to the HFPA for this beautiful nomination amongst the most extraordinary women. And to get to be there with my partner on this journey – Kaitlyn Dever, my life partner – Ben Platt, and my Lady Bird – Saoirse Ronan, is too much for my heart.
Helena Bonham Carter, Actress of “The Crown,” Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Limited Series or Motion Picture Made for Television:

Bong Joon-ho, Director and Writer of “Parasite,” Best Director – Motion Picture, Best Screenplay – Motion Picture, and Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language:
My WhatsApp is very busy today with the news about Parasite! I am so honored by the three nominations and thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for recognizing our film. This couldn't be possible without the excellent work by and wonderful collaboration with my actors, department heads and crew.
Billy Porter, Actor of “Pose,” Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Drama:
Everybody has a story. Stories create empathy. Empathy creates a pathway to the respect of our collective humanity. Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press Association for seeing POSE and helping to illuminate and share our stories with the world. The Category is...LOVE!
