“Fargo” star Allison Tolman may have been surprised to hear her name called out on Golden Globe morning, though she really shouldn’t have been given the strong critical reaction to the FX series.
“I feel so good. I may be even more thrilled about this than the Emmys because I’m excited that my castmates and the show will be up there as well. It makes it even better,” Tolman told TheWrap, which recognized the brilliance of her performance before “Fargo” made its official debut.
While “Fargo” depicts a very specific slice of Americana, the show’s themes are fairly universal, which may be why the international press that comprises the HFPA responded with such enthusiasm, showering the cast with four acting nominations between Tolman and co-stars Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman and Colin Hanks.
