Actors Morris Chestnut and Mindy Kaling announced the nominations at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the awards show will air live on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 8 p.m.
Shortly after the nominations ended, Gomez posted a video on her Instagram Stories showing her reaction. When Chestnut called her name in the motion picture category, she gasped and buried her face in her hands.
“I don’t even know what to write. I’m so proud of @zoesaldana and I am so grateful and honored @goldenglobes,” Gomez captioned the video, shouting out her costar and fellow nominee Zoe Saldaña.”
In the ambitious musical drama “Emilia Pérez”, former Disney star Gomez plays Jessi, the devoted wife of Mexican drug lord Juan “Manitas” Del Monte (Karla Sofía Gascón), who has privately identified as female.
Shrewd attorney Rita (Saldaña) helps Manitas fake their own death and undergo gender-affirming surgery, transforming into Emilia Pérez. Years later, Pérez seeks Rita’s help once again to reunite with Jessi and their kids.
In the motion picture category, Gomez and Saldaña join Ariana Grande (“Wicked”), Felicity Jones (“The Brutalist”), Margaret Qualley (“The Substance”), and Isabella Rosselini (“Conclave”) as nominees.
The Golden Globe Foundation also recognized Gomez's work in the Hulu comedy “Only Murders in the Building”, the acclaimed series costarring Steve Martin and Martin Short. Gomez received a nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series — Musical or Comedy at the past two awards ceremonies as well.
In another post on her Instagram Stories, Gomez shared a picture from the set and expressed that she was “so proud” of her TV “family.”
Kristen Bell (“Nobody Wants This”), Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Kathryn Hahn (“Agatha All Along”), and Jean Smart (“Hacks”) also received nominations for the award this year.
Speaking with news at the premiere of “Emilia Pérez” at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Gomez expressed that she felt “overwhelmed” by all the amazing things happening in her career, adding, “It’s such a wonderful gift.”
