This week the Golden Globe nominees were announced with Anderson picking up a nomination for her portrayal of the former British Prime Minister in the Netflix series. The award winners will be announced on Feb. 28 at a ceremony in California.

"I’m quite teary. It was a long journey. I put my heart and my soul into the role, so it feels very moving to have been recognized and to have been recognized alongside so many wonderful actresses," Anderson said, according to Variety.

This latest film project will follow the story of a young Jewish girl hidden by a family in Nazi-occupied France, with the Hollywood actress playing a character called Vivienne.

The rest of the cast and crew has yet to be confirmed for the project, other than the director, who has also been involved in projects such as "Quantum of Solace", "Finding Neverland", and "World War Z."
