“I brought my owngolden globes, just in case,” Nash joked of her cleavage, which she famously highlights in her red carpet dressing.
About the nomination itself, Nash took a more serious tone.
“Let me tell you something, it is so affirming because people tell me I can only do one thing and comedy was my lane,” she said. “So to be acknowledged in this way … not only that, a win would be the first time a black woman has won this category. So, you know, that would be amazing.”
