On Thursday morning, Hollywood's best and brightest were forced to wake up early and find out whether they had been nominated for Oscars. Here's what they had to say about the whole thing:
Felicity Jones, nominated for Best Actress ("The Theory of Everything"):
“I’m overwhelmed at this incredible news. This is a huge, huge honor. My deepest gratitude to the members of the Academy. I’ll look forward to celebrating this with everyone involved in 'The Theory of Everything.' Thank you so much.”
Reese Witherspoon, nominated for Best Actress ("Wild"):
Eddie Redmayne, nominated for Best Actor ("Theory of Everything"):
“I’m so incredibly honored to be recognized by the Academy, and even more thrilled to share this honor with the entire family of filmmakers, cast, and crew of 'The Theory of Everything.' This role was a once in a lifetime experience. Congratulations to my fellow nominees, thank you to the Academy, and thank you most of all to Stephen and Jane Hawking.”
Julianne Moore, nominated for Best Actress ("Still Alice"):
Michael Keaton, nominated for Best Actor "Birdman"):
“Humbled, thankful and more than anything, grateful. So, so happy that Alejandro and the cast and crew are getting recognized. I am proud to be a part of such a bold, gutsy and daring experiment that is Birdman. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to try as best I can and see if I can wipe this smile off my face. Wish me luck.” Michael Keaton
Emma Stone, nominated for Best Supporting Actress ("Birdman"):
"Well, this is surreal. I am completely knocked out. Thank you to the Academy for this incredible honor. I am very proud and lucky to be a part of Birdman and can't believe it came to this. I am so f--king excited. Are you allowed to say f--k when you're making a statement for the Oscars? I'm just really f--king excited."
Mark Ruffalo, nominated for Best Supporting Actor ("Foxcatcher"):
Alejandro González Iñárritu, nominated for Best Director ("Birdman"):
"I am very happy for the whole 'Birdman' flock because it took a lot of courage to make this film out of conventions. These nominations reflect the recognition of our colleagues as well as the members of the Academy. I am proud, thankful and humbled."
Morten Tyldum, nominated for Best Director ("The Imitation Game"):
“I’m honored and thrilled beyond my wildest dreams to be recognized today alongside four other filmmakers who I respect immeasurably. Being a part of 'The Imitation Game' and paying homage to the exquisite genius, Alan Turing, has been quite simply the experience of a lifetime. My immense gratitude goes to the Academy and my congratulations to the rest of the team on this film, who to me is second to none.”
Common, nominated for Best Original Song, ("Glory," from "Selma"):
Don Hall, nominated for Best Animated Picture ("Big Hero Six"):
"As kids growing up in Canada and Iowa, Chris and I both dreamt of becoming Disney animators. Never could we have imagined that, one day, we would get to make a film like 'Big Hero 6,' and that one day, the film and all of the talented artists who made it would be recognized by the Academy. Roy, Chris and I are deeply honored by the nomination and thank everyone at Disney Animation who made this possible.”
Producers Helen Estabrook, Jason Blum and David Lancaster, nominated for Best Picture ("Whiplash"):
“Almost exactly a year ago, we were off to Sundance wondering if people would ever see 'Whiplash.' Today is truly beyond our wildest dreams. As Fletcher would say, holy #@^!#@*$!!!”
Roger Deakins, nominated for Best Cinematography ("Unbroken"):
"It's a great honor and I'm glad to be representing 'Unbroken,' but in the end I’m just happy to be given the opportunity to work on the films that I do and to work with such inspiring directors like Angie. Making this film was a great joy with an enormously talented group of people."
Emmanuel Lubezki, nominated for Best Cinematography ("Birdman"):
"I am so honored to be nominated especially amongst all these great cinematographers. I am extremely happy for Birdman which in a way was an experiment that thankfully turned out well. It’s so exciting to be recognized by our peers. I am especially lucky and grateful to work with Alejandro. We are up here in Canada shooting where it is very cold and all these nominations are warming us up!"
Graham Moore, nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay ("The Imitation Game"):
“I am so proud of our whole Imitation Game family this morning. To receive a response like this from the Academy is the most thrilling professional honor of my life, and getting to be involved in telling Alan Turing's story on screen has been the most fulfilling personal honor imaginable. This was Alan's life; I'm so proud to have gotten to help make a film about it.”
Orlando von Einsiedel, Best Documentary Feature ("Virunga"):
"I couldn’t be prouder to share this incredible honor with my fellow members of 'Team Virunga.' I’m especially excited about what this means for Virunga National Park and the courageous rangers who risk their lives each and every day to defend one of the most beautiful places on Earth for all of us. I hope this nomination brings more awareness to their work protecting the home of the world's last remaining mountain gorillas. Thank you to the Academy and congratulations to all of our fellow nominees and all the amazing films this year."
Aneta Kopacz, nominated for Best Documentary Short ("Joanna"):
"The film was created, traveled around the world, and, hopefully, became truly significant to a lot of viewers. Today it has reached the heights, indeed. I would like to thank all the wonderful people that I was fortunate to work with. My special thanks go out to Joanna and her family, who decided to share a part of their life with me. This is a success for all of us."
Torill Kove, nominated for Best Animated Short Film ("Me & My Moulton):
“This is really wonderful news! One of the many great things about an Oscar nomination is that I will get some chances to express my gratitude publicly to all my colleagues and collaborators. They are all amazing people and I can’t wait to rave about them."
Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi, nominated for Best Animated Short Film ("The Dam Keeper"):
"On behalf of the crew of 'The Dam Keeper,' thank you to the Academy! Making 'The Dam Keeper' has already been such a rewarding experience. Being nominated is beyond our wildest filmmaking dreams. We are humbled to be in the company of such great films and thankful to be able to share our love for filmmaking with our follow nominees and this amazing community of filmmakers."
