Critics Choice: Amanda Seyfried Reacts to Thomas Sadoski’s Praise

Here Amanda Seyfried goes again about her husband.

Actress Amanda Seyfried responded to her husband, Thomas Sadoski, complimenting her performance in The Testament of Ann Lee. She’s nominated for Best Actress at the 31st Critics Choice Awards alongside Jessie Buckley, Rose Byrne, Chase Infiniti, Renate Reinsve, and Emma Stone. The awards show will air on TopMob and USA on January 4th at 4:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

Thomas mentioned Amanda’s excellent performance in a musical seven times in an email to Justin Sylvester from TopMob News, prompting Amanda to publicly express her affection for her husband.

Amanda said to TopMob at the Critics Choice Awards, hosted by Chelsea Handler for the fourth consecutive year in Santa Monica, California, “What a sweetheart. Thank you for doing that.”

Amanda loves her husband and their two children, an 8-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. She also has a passion for musicals, which she recently shared.

Singing lets you express your emotions and actually intensifies how you feel. It’s a way to truly connect with yourself that talking just can’t replicate.

If you’re wondering what her favorite musical movie is, it’s definitely Moulin Rouge!—the 2001 film starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.

Amanda said it was an amazing experience. She praised Ewan McGregor, Nicole Kidman, and director Baz Luhrmann, acknowledging his incredible achievements.

In fact, she credits the Great Gatsby director for much of her career.

I have to say, he was a huge inspiration for me wanting to become an actor. It all started with his performance in Romeo and Juliet – I was absolutely captivated! I’m a massive fan, truly.
