Selena Gomez has been in the spotlight recently, not just for her incredible role in Only Murders in the Building, but also for the sweet gesture she received from her costars Steve Martin and Martin Short after her Emmy nomination.
Selena Gomez’s Emmy Nomination: A Sweet Celebration
Big News for Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez has been nominated for Outstanding Actress in a Comedy Series at this year’s Emmys for her role in Only Murders in the Building. This nomination is a significant achievement, celebrating her exceptional performance on the hit show.
Heartwarming Gesture
Despite the geographical distance between them—Gomez is in Los Angeles, while Martin Short is travelling the world and Steve Martin is based in New York—the two legends didn’t miss the chance to celebrate Gomez’s nomination. Gomez revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that she received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her costars.
“I received flowers from [Martin Short and Steve Martin],” Gomez shared. “I’m in L.A., Marty’s always all over the world, and Steve is in New York. So, obviously, we can’t be together, but we’ll celebrate when we get back together again.”
Gomez’s Reaction to the Nomination
Feeling Honour
Gomez described the nomination as “crazy” and expressed her gratitude. “I was just honoured to be on such a show that was recognised. I feel so lucky, because there are so many great shows, and to even be considered, to have an opportunity like this, is such an honour.”
Winning in Spirit
She also noted, “In my mind, I feel like I already won.” This positive attitude reflects Gomez’s humility and excitement, highlighting her dedication to her craft.
Reflections on Her Birthday and Costars
Birthday Reflections
Just ahead of her 32nd birthday on July 22, Gomez shared a touching photo on Instagram with Martin and Short. In her caption, she reflected on her gratitude for the people around her. “Upon reflection, I realise with my birthday coming up, 32, I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift.”
Gomez added, “That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet 🤓.”
Warm Words from Martin and Short
In an interview with PEOPLE in April, Martin and Short praised Gomez’s talent and professionalism. Short described her as “so lovely as a human, she’s so remarkable as a talent,” and noted how their friendship with her deepens.
Professionalism Acknowledged
Martin and Short, who have been friends for over 40 years, were impressed with Gomez’s work ethic. Martin noted, “We didn’t really know Selena, we didn’t know what we’re getting into. I knew she has a fabulous personality, she’s very smart. But she is never late.”
Short agreed, emphasising, “And that’s a very big deal when you’re making a movie, if people are standing around like, ‘Where is so-and-so?’ She is on the mark… We all march down the steps together. It’s fabulous. But it gives you an insight into her own personality and professionalism.”
Looking Ahead
Emmy Celebration Plans
While Gomez, Martin, and Short may not be able to celebrate the Emmy nomination together in person just yet, their deep bond and mutual respect will undoubtedly make for a joyous reunion.
Continued Success
As the Emmy Awards approach, fans and colleagues alike are excited to see what’s next for Gomez. Her nomination and the support from her costars highlight a significant milestone in her career.
