"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" is the kind of unhinged former beau you hope sticks around.

Turns out we're not the only ones who think so. The CW, the show's home network, just gave the green light for a full season of episodes , and Rachel Bloom's funny, frenetic performance as Rebecca Bunch earned her a Golden Globe nod for Best Actress in a Television Series - Comedy. The show's ratings make its long-term future uncertain, but if Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores were the metric for renewal, this one would be a sure bet.

When The Huffington Post caught up with Bloom after the Golden Globes nominations announcement, the star who first garnered attention with viral videos (her illicit ode to a sci-fi legend stands out) was commemorating the event in a pretty relatable way. "So far, I celebrated with a shower ... I was waiting for the nominations and have been kind of non-stop talking to reporters and doing press ever since." Even if attention gets in the way of her hygiene schedule, she's grateful for it. "It's a crazy, wonderful time. Probably one of the best mornings, if not the best morning, of my life."

"I called my co-creator Aline [Brosh McKenna], thinking I was going to wake her up with the news," said Bloom, after receiving the nomination. "She'd been watching the broadcast, too. We were both saying we were gonna play it cool, but we were like 'I didn't play it cool, did you?' 'I didn't either!'"
