First-time nominee Richard Gadd told VF he has been overwhelmed by the continued positive reactions to Baby Reindeer, which he created, wrote, and stars in. The limited series is up for three Globes Sunday night.
“I’m very grateful for the way the show’s been received. It’s been a crazy rollercoaster, but it’s the stuff dreams are made of,” he said. “So I’m really just very grateful and happy to be here.”
The Scottish actor claimed that he’s not recognized very much at the moment, because “I’ve grown a beard now and I’ve put on a bit of weight”—and those who do approach him do not know his name. “People usually come up to me and say, ‘Are you Baby Reindeer?’ They never call me Donny Dunn or Richard Gadd. It’s always ‘Baby Reindeer,’” he said with a laugh. “But they usually just say nice things about the show.”

Another first-timer Cristin Milioti—nominated for her acclaimed villainous performance in The Penguin—said she is looking forward to reuniting with her cast at the show and having the opportunity to celebrate one another.
“It’s so fun to put on a dress and sit with my cast and our showrunner to celebrate, because this is, in a way, how we’re toasting what we made. You don’t always get to do that,” she said. Even so, Milioti is still adjusting to getting actual awards attention for her work. “People’s responses have meant a lot. It’s very overwhelming in the best way, but it’s nice when you make something that you love and it’s received with love.”
