As a cinephile with decades of film-watching under my belt and a particular knack for spotting talent, I must say that Cristin Milioti‘s nomination for a Golden Globe is nothing short of overdue recognition. Her performance as Sofia Falcone in The Penguin is the kind that leaves you breathless, her portrayal of a complex and layered character being both captivating and chilling.
In an unexpected turn of events, I found myself on the receiving end of a Golden Globe nomination for my role as Sofia Falcone in the critically acclaimed HBO series. The moment came as I was about to embark on a leisurely walk with my beloved pooch, making the news all the more thrilling! With three nods in total for our show, it’s safe to say that we’ve left quite an impression on the film community.
Milioti has been included among an impressive group of female actors vying for Best Performance in a Limited Series or TV Movie, which includes Cate Blanchett, Jodie Foster, Sofía Vergara, Naomi Watts, and Kate Winslet. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Milioti expressed her delight at being nominated and admiration for her fellow nominees, saying “It was incredibly thrilling, incredibly thrilling, and incredibly joyful. Oh my goodness, the women in my category.
It’s hard for me to find the right words, but let me try. Being nominated alongside such outstanding individuals leaves me speechless and overawed. Each of them is truly remarkable.
In addition to being nominated for Best Limited Series, The Penguin show itself, is also recognized. Its lead actor, Colin Farrell, was personally acknowledged with a nomination for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series. These achievements were warmly appreciated by Cristin Milioti, who expressed her excitement for the showrunner Lauren LeFranc and Colin, calling them both geniuses. She also looks forward to celebrating this collective success made by the team of The Penguin during the upcoming awards season.
What These Nominations Could Mean for ‘The Penguin’ Season 2
Despite originally being planned as a limited series, talks about a possible second season of the hit crime drama “The Penguin” are already underway. This news doesn’t surprise fans of the show, considering its impressive viewership and critical acclaim following only eight episodes. With nearly two million viewers for a single episode, perfect ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, and three Golden Globe nominations, “The Penguin” has proven itself to be one of the most successful shows of the year. Milioti’s emotionally nuanced portrayal of a ruthless mob heiress has received near-universal praise, further increasing the likelihood that “The Penguin” will secure another season.
Milioti openly expresses her strong hope for The Penguin to make a comeback, stating, ‘It’s my deepest wish, and I couldn’t be any more straightforward about expressing my desire.’ Yet, she has no definite news on the matter so far. However, Milioti’s career outlook remains optimistic. With her Golden Globe nomination, her voice acting role in the 2025 animated film ‘In Your Dreams’, and an upcoming appearance on ‘Black Mirror’, she also hopes to secure a part in Matt Reeves’ ‘The Batman: Part II’, scheduled for release in 2026 theaters.
