Rhea Seehorn Expresses Gratitude to Vince Gilligan for Her First Golden Globe Win for ‘Pluribus’
Rhea Seehorn expressed her shock as she accepted her first Golden Globe on Sunday night.
The actress won the award for Best Female Actor in a Drama Series for her role in Vince Gilligan’s Pluribus. Surprised by the announcement made by presenters Dakota Fanning and Queen Latifah, Seehorn humorously remarked, “I think my stomach is still over there” while gesturing at her table.
In her acceptance speech, Seehorn acknowledged her fellow nominees—Bella Ramsey, Britt Lower, Helen Mirren, Kathy Bates, and Keri Russell—saying, “I’m astonished by all your performances. I appreciate being listed with you, and, actually, to all of the women in this room. I’ve been to a lot of these parties that get pretty scary for someone like me sometimes, and the women in this room have been incredible in the last couple of weeks. Thank you for that.”
This award marks Seehorn’s second significant win, following her recent Critics Choice Award for the same role. Although this is her first Golden Globe nomination, she has previously been nominated for both the Critics’ Choice and the Emmys.
Seehorn previously starred in Gilligan’s acclaimed AMC series Better Call Saul, which, despite its critical recognition, was notable for not winning any of the 54 Emmy Awards it was nominated for during its six-season run.
During her acceptance speech, Seehorn graciously thanked Gilligan “for writing me the role of a lifetime.” She added, “And even more than that, thank you for having believed in me. That is beyond. You make me want to be better every day. I really appreciate it,” closing her speech with the heartfelt remark, “I’m still so grateful that I get to do this for a living, and this is incredible icing on that cake.”
Pluribus was also nominated for Best Drama Series but ultimately lost to The Pitt. Gilligan’s latest series broke records for the largest global launch of a drama series on Apple TV, surpassing Severance Season 2. The series, acquired by Apple TV in 2022 with a two-season order, reflects a growing interest in genre-bending narratives.
