However, Gadd had the opportunity to thank fans of the show when he and the Baby Reindeer cast and crew accepted the award for Best Limited Series Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television.
“The way you guys have embraced this show means the absolute world to me. To us,” he said in his acceptance speech. “Right now, when the world is in the state that it is in and people are really struggling, we need stories that speak to the complicated and difficult nature of our times. Any story, when done right, is universal, and all the weird, idiosyncratic struggles we go through on a daily basis are just as worthy of being committed to screen as any.”
Before any awards were handed out on Sunday, January 5, at The Beverly Hilton, both Gadd and Gunning expressed gratitude for being recognized by the Hollywood Foreign Press.
“I am beyond thrilled that Baby Reindeer has been nominated for three Golden Globes,” Gadd said in a statement in December 2024 when nominations were first announced. “Almost every year, I have watched the event hoping that one day I might be there in the audience, sitting among the industry’s finest, getting roasted on an international scale. So it is a dream come true.”

Gadd found himself up against several Hollywood legends including Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Kevin Kline (Disclaimer), Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Ewan McGregor, (A Gentleman in Moscow) and Andrew Scott (Ripley).
Gunning was just as thrilled to be in the same category as Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Dakota Fanning (Ripley), Allison Janney (The Diplomat) and Kali Reis (True Detective: Night Country).
“Words can’t really do justice to how thrilled I am to be nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress — alongside some of my idols as well, no less!” she said in December 2024. “I think I might need someone to pinch me to check I’m not dreaming.”
Baby Reindeer, which first premiered in April 2024, follows a comedian named Donny (Gadd) as he deals with a female stalker named Martha (Gunning).
Donny’s tense situation takes a toll on his relationships with friends and family and forces him to face past traumas.

The show’s success caught many by surprise including Gadd, who also serves as the creator.
“I remember thinking, ‘Maybe someone might watch it [over] the weekend. Maybe I’ll get a few texts.’ But literally the second it went out, my phone was exploding,” Gadd said in a June 2024 appearance on Today With Hoda & Jenna. “It felt like it was overnight, that everyone was talking about us suddenly — talking about us, talking about the show. And then, it just started becoming No. 1 in all these countries around the globe. It’s just been crazy.”
