The stars are reacting to this morning's exciting Golden Globe nominations. Here are reactions from nominees for Wild, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) which leads the film nominations overall, and reactions on some of the Canuck contenders. Emma Stone easily wins the prize for best reaction of the morning, saying, 'Now can someone please explain who this 'Meryl Streep' woman is?!' (Don't you love her?) Meryl Streep, I forgot to add, earns her 28th Golden Globe nomination for Into the Woods, so it's nice that she's finally breaking through the crowd and gaining some recognition! Lol, just think Emma: if you win, you can pull a Jennifer Lawrence and quote The First Wives Club at the party!

The nominees react:

Reese Witherspoon, Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for Wild:


"I'm extremely thankful that the film is being recognized in this way. WILD is truly my baby and was a labor of love from the beginning. Cheryl Strayed was so brave in putting her life's journey into words and it makes me happy that this type of recognition will hopefully drive more people to experience it on film‎." ‎ - Reese Witherspoon

Emma Stone, Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)


"I have no words. I am so incredibly honored and grateful for this and feel insanely lucky to have had the chance to work with Alejandro, Michael, Edward, and the whole cast and crew of the beautiful madness that is Birdman. Now can someone please explain who this 'Meryl Streep' woman is?!
 -->Lol, Emma Stone, I love you. (My bold.)

 Michael Keaton, Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)


"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."

Antonio Sanchez (Composer), Best Original Score – Motion Picture for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)


"I'm really honored to be Golden Globe nominated. I'm thankful to Alejandro Gonzales Iñarritu for the opportunity to work on this masterful film, and everyone that was involved in the process of helping it come to fruition. Being a jazz musician in our modern culture involves being cloaked in relative darkness when it comes to popular media attention, so I really hope this nomination helps propel our music and industry to a higher plane."


 Jim Skotchdopole and John Lesher (Producers), Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)



“We are thrilled that the HFPA have fallen in love with Birdman. We hope this recognition on a passion project can be an inspiration for filmmakers around the world. Congratulations to all the nominees.”
