Cristin Milioti is feeling honored after earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role as mob heiress Sofia Falcone in HBO’s The Penguin.

Reacting to the nod, Milioti, on Monday, December 9, shared with The Hollywood Reporter that she received the news when she was getting ready to take her dog for a walk. “It was very exciting, very exciting,” she told the outlet. “And just very, very joyful.”

Of her fellow Best Performance contenders, the actress added, “My god, the women in my category. I don’t have words to describe how surreal it is and how overwhelmed I am being nominated alongside them. They’re all so brilliant.”
