Lady Gaga, Timothée Chalamet, And More Stars React To Their Golden Globe Nominations

'WOW!'

Just like the end of Thanksgiving makes it feel like Christmas season has arrived, the Golden Globes nominees announcement makes it feel like we've finally made it to awards season. With reactions ranging from Elsie Fisher's stunned "WHAT," to Troye Sivan's incomprehensible "KHKGJTJFJGKGMHMHMGMHMG," all the way to Timothée Chalamet's sweet "rush of gratitude and excitement," it's the most collectively joyous moment of the season.

So let's celebrate the exciting window of time long before any unspoken acceptance speeches are crunched down among the lint and rogue mints that reside in the depths of jacket pockets and purses; when it truly is an honor just to be nominated. Here's how the biggest stars reacted to Thursday's (December 6) early morning surprise.

But it’s great to know we’re not the only ones who are proud of it and we’re just so grateful that people continue to love the show as much as we do. The real win was to be able to play a role like this with creators and writers and directors that I admire so greatly and with this cast, I mean, come on! All of this stuff is just icing on the cake and it’s nice to be invited back to the party. It sounds so cliché but it’s so true, I’ve already won.”
