“Thank you Golden Globes for recognizing me. I’m so happy to be here with these great nominees,” said Sanada, who won an Emmy last fall for this same role.
“Thank you FX, Disney and all the cast members and crew of Shogun for sharing this amazing journey. I’d love to say thank you for everyone who has been in my life. All of you have brought me here. And I’d like to say to the young actors and creators in the world: Please be yourself. Believe in yourself and never give up. Good luck.”
Other nominees with B.C. connections didn’t fare as well as Shōgun.
With the Golden Globes out of the way, the next big award season announcement is for the Academy Awards nominations on Jan. 17. That is the same day that The Last Showgirl hits Canadian theatres.
The buzz in Hollywood is that Anderson has a good shot at being one of the Best Actress nominees when the Oscar nods are announced.
The duo cracked wise about how they have won several non-existent Canadian acting awards.
“It’s stuff you guys haven’t heard of, but actually, Catherine won not one, but two Golden Antlers for her work as Mama Morissette in the Alanis Morissette Story,” said Rogen, as O’Hara countered, “What about you and your brave Golden Antler win for your turn as young Ryan Gosling, in the Ryan Gosling unauthorized biopic?”
Some of the work they pretended to have done in Canada wasn’t always PG.
“You see, in Canada, we don’t have America’s puritanical roots. So pornographic films are as lauded as much as non-pornographic films,” Rogen joked.
