With the announcement of the Golden Globe nominations today, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has added to her collection of nods with one for her role as vice president in the critically acclaimed HBO show Veep and one for her performance in the romantic comedy Enough Said.

Louis-Dreyfus, 52, took some time with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss how she feels about getting this recognition at this point in her career. "It's nice to be this age and have this happen because I know so well that it might have been otherwise, it could be otherwise, it may be otherwise a year from now -- who the hell knows? But it's really nice to enjoy this moment."

The gracious actress deserves credit for her role in Enough Said. Despite the fact that she has spent more time on television, just this year surpassing Lucille Ball with the most Emmy Nominations (14) for a role in a comedy, her role in the film shows a different side of the actress.

New York Times' critic A.O. Scott described the film as "a small miracle of a movie" and "one of the best-written American film comedies in recent memory," and said Louis-Dreyfus had created a character "like no other movie character I have ever seen."

Her contribution to the big screen left THR asking why she doesn't work on more films:

"Well, first of all, I've been getting work in television and I'm a working mother. So, doing these series that I've been doing, when I have my hiatus, as it's called, which always would fall during the summer, I didn't want to leave home to do a movie, much to my agent's chagrin."

She added: "Now my life is sort of opening up a little bit more. And Enough Said was shot in Los Angeles, where I live, so it was a manageable thing for me to do. And it's not like there are gobs and gobs and gobs of roles for women over the age of 35 in film, so this was an incredible opportunity."

Louis-Dreyfus said she believes there will be more films in her future.
