The actress is nominated for her work in film and television, receiving nods for her performances in "Emilia Pérez" and "Only Murders in the Building."

Selena Gomez couldn’t contain her excitement after finding out that she’d just been nominated for not one but two Golden Globes for her work in film and television early on Monday. 

The actress posted a video of the emotional moment she learned that she’d been nominated for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture category for her role in the crime musical Emilia Pérez on her Instagram Story on Monday. In the clip, Gomez is seen relaxing on her couch as her name is announced before covering her face with her hands. 

“Oh my God!” She shouts, before hearing Ariana Grande’s name called in the category for her performance in Wicked and adding, “Oh my God, Ari! I can’t believe [it]!”
