Stars from the big and small screen were buzzing Thursday morning after hearing their names called during the 2015 Golden Globe Awards nominations.

Emma Stone, who's nominated for her role in "Birdman" said, according to E! News, "I have no words. I am so incredibly honored and grateful for this and feel insanely lucky to have had the chance to work with Alejandro, Michael, Edward, and the whole cast and crew of the beautiful madness that is 'Birdman.' Now can someone please explain who this 'Meryl Streep' woman is?!"
Reese Witherspoon is up for best performance by an actress in a motion picture -- drama for "Wild": "I'm extremely thankful that the film is being recognized in this way.
