Dreams do come true! And Selena Gomez has shared the proof. Only Murders in the Building producer-star Selena manifested her first-ever Golden Globe Award nomination for portraying true-crime podcaster, Arconia resident, and artist Mabel Mora. The songstress recently shared a clip from her interview with KTLA 5 Morning News in 2011 where entertainment anchor Sam Rubin asked her if she aspired to win a Grammy Award.
Selena said, “I think it would be an honour, of course. But I’m more of a Golden Globe or Oscar girl, so it would be nice!” Gomez captioned her throwback video, ‘Dreams do come true! Guys I’m nominated for a Golden Globe. [Be right back] gonna scream!’ The Rare Beauty founder did, in fact, earn her very first Grammy Award nomination for best Latin pop album for Revelación, but she lost the trophy to Alex Cuba’s Mendó during the April 3 ceremony.
Selena will compete for the best performance by an actress in a TV series (musical or comedy) trophy at the 80th Golden Globe Awards, which air on January 10 on NBC. Gomez faces heavy competition against Abbott Elementary’s Quinta Brunson, The Flight Attendant’s Kaley Cuoco, Wednesday’s Jenna Ortega, and Hacks’ Jean Smart.
The My Mind & Me star’s castmates Martin Short and Steve Martin will go head-to-head for the best performance by an actor in a TV series (musical or comedy), and OMITB is also up for best TV series (musical or comedy). Selena already won the People’s Choice Award for comedy TV star of the year in 2021 and 2022 for her role as Mabel, and she scored her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for executive producing OMITB earlier this year.
Gomez likely earns well over $600K/episode – the reported salary her two septuagenarian castmates got paid for season one – for her work on the most-watched comedy in Hulu history. Season three of Steve Martin and John Hoffman’s critically-acclaimed who-done-it centres on the murder of Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) as Mabel watches him in a Broadway play directed by Oliver Putnam (Short) and co-starring Charles-Haden Savage (Martin).
