Los Angeles:
Actress and singer Selena Gomez revealed that she only found out she had been nominated for an Emmy when a friend sent her a message, as no one else had told her until then.
Gomez told the US TV show Extra: “I actually just got a text from one of my friends saying congratulations and I replied and said, ‘Why?’ And then she laughed at me, and then for an hour I didn’t really understand, and then my team called me. So I just heard from them and I was really, really excited.”
The singer began her career as a child actress when she starred in The Wizard of Waverly Place and then built a successful career in music, but made her big return to acting with the mystery comedy series, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
She said: “I got flowers from (Martin and Steve). I’m in LA, Marty’s all over the world, and Steve’s in New York. So obviously we can’t be together, but we’ll celebrate when we get back together. But it’s been crazy.”
Gomez was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Only Murders in the Building alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short. Regardless of whether she wins the award or not, she already feels like a winner.
She said: “I was honored to be on such a recognized show. 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 honor. In my mind, I feel like I’ve already won.”
