Julia Roberts speaks about her Golden Globe nomination

Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts says her nomination for a Golden Globe award was a 'thrilling' moment in her normally blissful life.

Speaking to Matt Lauer on the Today show - in an interview scheduled to air on Friday, Roberts, 40, quipped: "Usually the triumph of my day is everybody making it to the potty. "So yes, I think it's thrilling."

When the 'Pretty Woman' star was asked if she feels "ho-hum" about yet another award nomination to add to her collection, she says, "I didn't realize I had done that much. That's great. No, it's exciting."

Julia also praised  her Charlie Wilson's War costars, Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman. "Both of them are great. Philip is – he just kind of blows my mind a little bit. …Tom is probably the most honest person on screen and off screen that I've ever spent time with acting wise, he's just amazing."

As for her family life, she says her 3-year-old twins  are "just starting to figure out Christmas and the specific holiday."
