Playing EXCLUSIVE: "This Is Us" Star Milo Ventimiglia on Golden Globe Snub: "I Like the Idea of Not Being Nominated"
It was a bittersweet day for This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia, who celebrated the shows three Golden Globe nominations on Monday but wasnt nominated for playing the Pearson patriarch, Jack.
Ventimiglia put a positive spin onthe Golden Globe snub, however, viewing it as a challenge to better his own work as an actor.
I like the idea of not being nominated, the 39-year-old actor told ETs Carly Steel on the set of This Is Us on Monday following the nomination announcement. It keeps me hungry.
EXCLUSIVE: "Mandy Moore Learned About Her "This Is Us" Golden Globe Nom From TV Husband Milo Ventimiglia
I feel like sometimes when people aren"t getting the nominations there"s this weird perception that somehow it diminishes the work that they do. But I don"t think it does, Ventimiglia added. I see a lot of actors and actresses that aren"t getting recognized on a particular awards circuit. Their work is beautiful and phenomenal and it takes a lot for an artist to stand up in front of a camera and in front of a crew and open your rib cage and just pour your heart out.
Though Ventimiglia wont be up for an individual Globe come January (theres always next time!), hes already thinking about what h**l be wearing to the big night.
Somebody suggested a Hawaiian shirt for me and dad vibe, but I dont know that Im going to do that, he quipped. Ill wear something nice and presentable, comb my hair, clip my beard-mustache and show up.
