Hugh Laurie

In an interview to Melanie McFarland, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Hugh was quoted as saying he was astonished and completely shocked when he first learned he'd been nominated for a Golden Globe award. He said his first thought was he needed to call his wife, Jo. He then realized he was speaking to his wife on the phone - she'd called him at 6 o'clock in the morning to give him the news. He then commented jokingly about her being 'connected.'
