Actors on thriving and surviving in the Hollywood awards season

The Hollywood awards season kicks into full gear this weekend with Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony, and actors are pondering how to enjoy the onslaught of attention and survive the ups and downs.Britain’s Carey Mulligan, a two-time Oscar nominee who is vying this year for a Best Actress Golden Globe for her role in “Maestro,” cuts to the chase: “Oh, just enjoy it and have fun and don’t take it too seriously.”Mulligan said she is delighted by what she calls “a lovely sisterhood” of actresses nominated this year, including Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Lily Gladstone and Greta Lee.Oscar-winning Stone, nominated for a Best Actress Golden Globe for “Poor Things,” acknowledged that the awards season is both “very nerve-wracking and very exciting.”On the arrivals line at the Palm Springs Film Festival this week, Golden Globe nominees shared their mix of elation, disorientation, and the need to take care of one’s mind, body, and spirit. The season runs through the Oscars on March 10 and includes several awards show stops and countless interviews.“It is a lot of attention on the project, that’s good, but at the same time I can understand how someone can get a little sideways with this runaway circus,” said Jeffrey Wright, nominated for best actor for “American Fiction,” adding, “I want our film to be seen.”Colman Domingo, vying for his first Golden Globe for best actor in “Rustin,” said the advice he gets from actors who have been through the awards season is to focus on self-care.“So don’t think about who is winning, don’t think about those things,” Domingo said.

Sterling K. Brown Doesn’t Do Repeat Characters: ‘When They Think They’ve Got It Locked Down, I Like to Mess With That’

Stuart Miller Hollywood being what it is, “This Is Us” star Sterling K. Brown has spent years deflecting roles to yet again play “a Black guy in a white family who’s finding his way in.” Brown said no because he’s adamant about not getting pigeonholed, as he demonstrated this year by shifting to “Biosphere,” a post-apocalyptic two-hander with Mark Duplass, and then “American Fiction,” which is simultaneously a family drama, a meta-literary satire and a commentary on race in America today. “I wouldn’t want to do three movies in a row with the same kind of role,” he says.
