After being nominated for Best Limited Series Anthology Series or a Motion Picture Made for Television, Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series or Motion Picture Made for Television and Best Female Supporting Actor — Television, Richard Gadd, Jessica Gunning and the Netflix grew discovered they had won two Golden Globes.
“I cannot believe any of this is happening to me,” Gunning, 38, said upon accepting her award for Best Female Supporting Actor — Television. “Baby Reindeer has changed my life in ways that I can’t even explain.”

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.”
