Golden Globes 2025: Full list of nominations"Before I even worked with Sir Ridley Scott, I was a fan of his movies and his talent. But then he invited me into his tent (most recently into his Colosseum of GLADIATOR II) and the entire experience has been stunning," Washington said in a statement. "The sheer size of this particular production and the incredible cast of actors and crew he assembled, not to mention what he literally built of ancient Rome, humbles me – it humbled me every day on set. And giving me Macrinus – to embody, to enjoy, to create – what an incredible honor this is, and has been."

"While on the surface 1960s Greenwich Village would look to have little in common with Arrakis, it was the open mindedness and groundbreaking culture of the 1960s in America that has ultimately given birth to these projects some 60 years later. THANK YOU."

Congratulations and love to all!"
The producers of "A Complete Unknown" said in a statement they are "beyond grateful" for the film's nominations.
"Bob Dylan's enduring legacy, which has been a profound inspiration to so many around the globe for over half a century, fueled all of the artists who came together to tell this story," they said.
