The excitement of being a first-time Golden Globe nominee is a moment of pride, and for this actress, the recognition is especially meaningful. “First-time Golden Globe nominee has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?” she shared with a smile, pausing for a moment to reflect on the journey.
As one of three sisters, supporting and cheering for women has always been a core part of her life. “Cheering for women has always been a birthright, an obligation, a duty, and an honor,” she said. Empowering the women around her is a responsibility she holds dear, a sentiment that has shaped her approach both personally and professionally. “I’ve always worked hard to support the women around me, and to make sure that we all rise together.”
The actress was also thrilled to share that her team had won the ASRA Awards, which had been a tie—an exciting accomplishment in itself. “We won, we tied! That was pretty amazing. I wanted to know where Ariana Grande and Zoe Saldana were, as it was such amazing company,” she laughed, clearly grateful for the recognition and the camaraderie in the industry.
But it was the Golden Globe nomination that truly moved her. “I was very emotional. I still am. It feels like a dream come true. My inner child is really happy and grateful,” she said. Reflecting on the hard work and dedication it took to get to this point, she continued, “We work so hard for these moments of acknowledgment, and it repurposes us to keep our heads up and keep grinding. We will continue to make art, no matter what.”
Despite the whirlwind of the season, she remains grounded by her family. “At the end of every day, no matter how exciting it gets, I’m still going to take my kids to school,” she said, adding that this keeps her focused on what truly matters.
Switching gears, the actress also expressed her joy for her Amelia PS co-star, Selena Gomez, who recently got engaged. “Let love rule! Long live love at all times,” she said with genuine excitement. “My husband and I are always rooting for people who understand the true meaning and hard work of love. Selena and her fiancé really do, and I’m just so happy for them. Congratulations to them both.”
Her words reflect the deep gratitude she feels for both her own journey and the successes of those around her. “It’s all about love, support, and staying true to what’s important,” she concluded, smiling broadly as she embraced the moment.
