Actress-singer Selena Gomez, who has bagged the best supporting actress Golden Globe nomination, is embracing the moment.
She has also spoken up on the issue of the feeling of loneliness and getting isolated in Hollywood, reports 'People' magazine.
Talking about her Golden Globes nomination, she told 'People', "I'm overwhelmed, very, very honored and grateful. I can't wait to see what happens".
Nominated in the same category as actress-singer Ariana Grande, 31, the actresses sat next to each other at the luncheon, held in Los Angeles at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
As reported by 'People', the two awards season favorites separately rose to fame as child stars on television, Gomez on Disney Channel's 'Wizards of Waverly Place' and Grande on Nickelodeon's 'Victorious'.
In her keynote speech, Selena emphasized how she found community in more recent years.
"I know firsthand how isolating this industry will feel at times, but moments like this and rooms like this, and talking to all these amazing women just reminds me that I'm not alone, and we aren't alone," she said, gesturing to her table where Grande sat along with stars including Amy Adams, Pamela Anderson, Awkwafina, Gal Gadot, Rita Wilson, Mila Kunis and Olivia Wilde.
She further elaborated on the red carpet that she remains positive at times of negative talk by being on the bright side.
"It's humor for me," she told 'People'. "I know people say it's a defense mechanism, however, I think it's a great distraction from all of the noise sometimes. And just to have a laugh with your friends or do something that can bring you a little bit of light".
For others feeling lonely in Hollywood, Selena is ready to offer a helping hand.
To all those young women out there, I just want to tell you that you're being heard and you're seen and your perspective really matters a lot. And if ever at any event you are left lonely, I'm most probably on my phone, playing some sort of strange game. Just come up and say something, and I am here to chat", she beamed during the stage appearance.
That makes a ripple effect far out of our lives when we share and we stand up together. That's the very reason why events like these [are] important: as a celebration of what our collective achievements are, it is also a reminder about the work that is ahead of us", she continued.
