The Bulgarian actress Maria Bakalova has found a place among the nominations for this year's Golden Globe Awards which were announced earlier today. The 24-year-old actress was nominated in the category for a leading female role in a comedy or musical for her role in Borat Subsequent Movie, thus becoming the first-ever Bulgarian nominee for the prestigious award.

Maria Bakalova, who was born in Bulgaria's Burgas, graduated from the National Academy for Theatre and Film Art in Sofia in 2019 in the class of Prof. Ivan Dobchev. For her participation in the Borat movie, she was selected in an audition among 600 candidates.

Bakalova has been nominated alongside Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit), Anya Taylor-Joy (Emma), Kate Hudson (Music) and Rosamund Pike (I Care a Lot).
