This honor is shared with Eli Cohen‘s family, thank you for letting him bring the story to screen and to the HFPA.”

In the comments section, Courteney Cox wrote, “Yes Sacha!!!!” while Mindy Kaling joked, “Great now I’m turned on.” Chelsea Handler added, “It’s important for us all to realize that Sascha [sic] is indeed hot.”
