Richard Gadd of 'Baby Reindeer' fame joins the E! red carpet

Richard Gadd, who wrote and starred in the viral miniseries "Baby Reindeer," said he can't believe he's at the Golden Globes. The nine months since the show came out, he added, have been crazy.

Gadd said he's already working on his next project, a new BBC/HBO show. He revealed only scant details: It's about "dysfunctional men and how they move through life."

When asked who he would love to work with, Gadd shocked listeners with his answer: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He said he has been a wrestling fan his whole life. One day, he added, he'd also love to write and direct a film.

Holding space for ‘Wicked’ at the Golden Globes

Sophia PargasSophia Pargas is a news associate for NBC News.

Broadway lovers are represented in a big way at this year’s Globes, with four nominations for the immensely “Popular” adaptation of “Wicked” — including best motion picture and the cinematic and box office achievement award. Starring duo Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are also nominated for best lead and supporting actress, respectively.

Though the movie adaptation faced much pressure to live up to the original 2003 Broadway musical, it has been met with praise from both loyal theater fans and “Wicked” newbies. The movie is credited with bringing film, music and theater fanatics together at the box office and beyond.

“Wicked” has now surpassed “Mamma Mia” as the highest-grossing Broadway musical adaptation, with over $634 million in ticket sales. Fans continue to attend showings clad in their best pink and green, sing along at special showings and anticipate the release of “Wicked: For Good” in November.

The musical would be the 11th Broadway-to-film adaptation to take home a Golden Globe — joining most recently a best motion picture win for “Les Misérables” in 2013.

“These moments are a reminder to me of what an incredible privilege it has been to talk to some of the world’s greatest artists about their work, navigating the pressures of success, etc.,” Cox wrote in her social media post. “I’m so excited to keep growing, evolving and exploring great opportunities as an actress, artist, host and speaker. I hope you’ll all continue to go with me on my evolving journey.”
