Heretic’s Hugh Grant nominated for Best Actor at Golden Globes 2024
Hugh Grant was nominated at Golden Globes 2024 for Best Actor in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy for his starring performance in Heretic, and he posted his gratitude on X (formerly Twitter).
"Massive thanks to the Golden Globes for so warmly welcoming a blatant gate crasher. Also to Scott Beck and Bryan Woods for spotting my need to kill, and to A24 for sponsoring it." Grant wrote.
Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (who wrote A Quiet Place and directed last year's 65), Heretic stars Grant as Mr. Reed, a man who is visited by two Mormon missionaries played by Chloe East and Sophie Thatcher. Although he seems nice and genial at first, he eventually reveals himself to be a sadistic atheist willing to go to great lengths to convince the women that God isn't real.
Heretic marks Grant's seventh nomination at the Golden Globes. He won his first for 1994's Four Weddings and a Funeral, and he was most recently nominated for a lead role in the 2020 HBO series The Undoing.
Heretic is now playing in cinemas.
