DiCaprio, Duchovny react to Globe noms

I was just having coffee and reading when I saw my phone lit up, and that my publicist was trying to get in touch with me. I put it together: ‘Oh, great, I must have gotten a Golden Globe nomination!” said David Duchovny

Leonardo DiCaprioNominated for best dramatic actor for  “Revolutionary Road”“I knew if (Kate Winslet and I) were to come together again and do another movie, it had to be something really unique and different, not whatsoever treading over any kind of similar territory. This film, although it’s about a couple, it’s very much about two people and the disintegration of a relationship rather than forging love against all odds.”

Terrence HowardOn Heath Ledger’s supporting-actor nomination for “Dark Knight”“Heath was a friend of mine. He gave his all in that film. I think he will win in that category. He’ll also get an Oscar.”

David DuchovnyNominated for best actor in a TV series, comedy or musical for “Californication”“While I knew the announcement was this week, I’d forgotten it was today. But since I’m on the East Coast right now I wasn’t awakened by a scary four-in-the-morning phone call. I was just having coffee and reading when I saw my phone lit up, and that my publicist was trying to get in touch with me. I put it together: ‘Oh, great, I must have gotten a Golden Globe nomination!”

Danny BoyleNominated for best director for “Slumdog Millionaire”“I’m very pleased. You know public displays in Britain are reserved, but inside you’re dancing. It’s not just being in London and getting that kind of news, but the movie was filmed in Mumbai, in India. I got loads of texts from them (the actors), from Mumbai.”

Dustin Hoffman
Nominated for best actor, comedy or musical, for “Last Chance Harvey”“It is so exciting to be nominated, but working with Emma (Thompson) was reward enough. Don’t get me wrong, I still want to win!”

Sally HawkinsNominated for best actress in a musical or comedy film for “Happy-Go-Lucky.”“This doesn’t feel that real to me right now, and I doubt it will, ever. I can’t quite sum it up in words. I know that’s a bit annoying for various journalists. ... It’s the best Christmas present a girl could have.”

Colin Farrell

Nominted for best actor in a musical or comedy for “In Bruges”“It had been brought to my attention by people that it was a possibility, a darkhorse possibility, for getting some recognition, but I really, really didn’t expect it. It had been released in the early part of the year, it didn’t do huge money, it wasn’t seen by that many people. But it’s a testament to (director Martin McDonough’s) writing in his film debut that it obviously struck a chord with them.”

Rebecca HallNominated for best actress in a musical or comedy for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”“It’s good material. You can’t complain. (Woody Allen) writes stories about people and emotions, and that’s something actors love, and he lets actors run with it. You can really create people and own them and go in all sorts of crazy directions.”

Emma ThompsonNominated for best actress, comedy or musical, for “Last Chance Harvey”“Dustin (Hoffman) and I had the best time making this film. It seems insane to get an award nomination on top of that, but I’m thrilled.”

Shirley MacLaineNominated for best actress in a miniseries or television movie for “Coco Chanel”“I am really thrilled! I guess I should dress up more. Maybe Chanel could do a couture line for seniors?”

Blair UnderwoodNominated for best supporting actor nominee in a series, miniseries or television movie for “In Treatment.”“I tell you, the real beauty is just to be able to work, creatively and in this economy.”
