“I am so honored and so excited to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award,” enthused Dolly Parton. “I am thankful for all of my fans and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and am pleased that the song ‘Girl In The Movies’ is being recognized. Linda Perry and I loved writing it together.  We are so happy that everyone has accepted our song so well.”
 
Remarked Linda Perry, “At 6:20 a.m. a friend sent me a tweet saying congratulations on the nomination. Honestly, I was like ‘nomination?’ I immediately started searching the storage in my memory, then another congrats came in saying for Golden Globe nom. Then I was like ‘Yay Dolly!’” Perry continued, “I love her so much, and of course I’m happy for myself, but I am SO HAPPY for Dolly. She walked into my life and turned the lights on, and I have not been able to shut them off since. So proud and honored to be part of each other’s journey."
