Actress Hong Chau has scored her first Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Alexander Payne's "Downsizing" and the movie's star, Matt Damon, says she's "amazing."
"That was the role that was the most kind of worrisome when you looked at the script, the whole thing really hinges on that character and that performance so that was the big, you know, I mean casting a movie is difficult but that was particularly - that was kind of the central challenge of casting I would say because she's just brilliant and perfect and kind of everything we could've - I remember Alexander (Payne) sent me the screen test - he sent me a link to the screen test and I remember looking and within like two lines I just like, I wanted to start crying," he said Monday (11 DEC. 2017) after the nominations were announced.
He also adds "She's just wonderful and she's gonna have this incredible career and I'm really happy for her. She also happens to be a great person."
"Downsizing" opens Dec. 22 in the United States and Spain. In the film, Damon plays an unhappy everyman who tries to solve his problems and help save the planet by undergoing an experimental procedure that shrinks him.
