Golden Globe Nominees React! Who Said What?

Callie Thorne (Necessary Roughness) – Best Actress in a Drama

"It's a really big deal for little Callie Thorne. [Laughs] I spent the night at my mother's and was just dead asleep with my cell phone trilling with text messages and also trying to ring at the same time. … I was sleeping in the living room. I leaped out of the living room, and I jumped on my momma's bed. [Laughs] I scared her so badly. Basically, when she realized what was happening, we both started jumping on the bed."

Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) – Best Actress in a Comedy

"I am completely overwhelmed with happiness! This is a huge vote of confidence for nerdy girls everywhere! I am so lucky to have this amazing job, and to collaborate with this incredible cast, crew, team of writers and producers. I am so grateful to the HFPA for giving us all this honor and grateful to be nominated with such talented and amazing ladies who I respect so much."

Homeland executive producer Alex Gansa on the show's nomination for Best Drama Series

"It's just so nice to get recognized, and it's especially great because so many people worked so hard on this show. Believe me, you can be working just as hard on a show that isn't working, and this is so much better. I highly recommend it! One of the virtues of having had Showtime as our home was that they said, 'Take a deep breath, you're not on a broadcast network anymore,' and that was a tremendously liberating way to start this process."

Laura Dern (Enlightened) – Lead Actress in a Comedy

"I am so thrilled and grateful for the support for our show Enlightened by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. This has been such an incredible character to play, with an amazing cast, extraordinary writing, and of course only made possible by the team at our fearless, HBO home."

Kelsey Grammer (Boss) – Lead Actor in a Drama

"It is rewarding, not only to receive personal recognition from the HFPA, but to see that those who worked so hard and tirelessly to make Boss a reality were also recognized."

David Duchovny (Californication) – Best Actor in a Comedy

"The Hollywood Foreign Press has always been supportive. As always, I am grateful for the recognition, especially with so many fine actors in comedy all across television, and, most of all, happy for everyone on the show as we all share in this. And the HFPA throws by far the best party of the endless awards season."

Jeremy Irons (The Borgias) – Best Actor in a Drama

"I am delighted to be nominated for my work in Neil Jordan's The Borgias. In truth, I know it reflects the tireless efforts and exceptional talents of all those who bring this splendid series to the screen. Without the magnificent work in the costume and set design, script writing, lighting and camera work, and the constant care in the direction, production, and marketing, this series would not have grabbed its audience as it appears to have done. That I am surrounded by a talented and dedicated cast is self evident. But, of course, if you want to nominate anyone, and escape with your life, then you'd better first nominate the Pope."

Damian Lewis (Homeland) – Best Actor in a Drama

"I'm over the moon to be nominated for a Golden Globe. Thank you to the HFPA and thanks also to [executive producers] Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon for asking me to be part of such special project. I might even be in Season 2 now…"

New Girl creator Liz Meriwether on the show's nominations for Best Comedy and Best Actress (Zooey Deschanel)

"I have actually been up all night working on a New Girl script, so I didn't have to get woken up with the news! I wasn't expecting this at all. It came out of the blue and it feels so good — especially at 5:30 in the morning when you've been working all night. … I'm excited that Zooey was also nominated because I love her work on the show. I don't know exactly what we said to each other, but there was lots of screaming back and forth. I think I mumbled something about her really deserving it and then there was a lot of woo, woo, wooing. She's just over the moon. It really means a lot to us as a new show, and it's exciting to be in a category with those other shows."

Matt LeBlanc (Episodes) – Best Actor in a Comedy

"Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press. It's an honor and pleasure to be recognized by them, and for their support on this project that is so dear to me and fun to make."

Madeleine Stowe (Revenge) – Best Actress in a Drama

"The nomination has absolutely stunned me. I'm so grateful to the Hollywood Foreign Press for their recognition of Revenge so early on in the show's life, to Mike Kelley, our gifted creator, for conjuring up an animal like 'Victoria,' and to Phillip Noyce, the brazen and bold director who brought us so much guidance. Emily VanCamp is my partner in evil doing and I'm lucky to be onscreen with her and the rest of our gifted cast. This is a happy, if unexpected moment. I'll need a bourbon at wrap."
