It’s not every day that you get nominated for an Academy Award! See how this year’s nominees reacted to learning they’re up for one of Hollywood’s most prestigious awards: »This nomination is for every single one of us who brought our hearts to this film. I am here because of the greatness of others. I stand on the shoulders of giants. Guillermo handed me a gift with this role, this film. I am so delighted for us all. To be honoured by the acknowledgment of my colleagues of fellow actors, filmmakers, writers, crew members is truly humbling. It is a privilege to tell such stories and to be able to make films that show there is a life beyond the life that people know – one that is not always seen. To be considered in this category along side these exceptional women is a real honour and gift in itself. Thank you with eternal gratitude dear Academy! » »I’m thrilled that our film has received seven nominations from the Academy, and that the beautiful work of our editor Jon Gregory, our composer Carter Burwell, my gentle brothers-in-arms Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, and our fearless leader Frances McDormand, have all been recognised so wonderfully. I can’t wait to celebrate with them all come March 4th. »(Best Visual Effect, « Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 ») »I am honored beyond measure by this nomination for a film I love, a film that stands in defense of press freedom, and inclusion of women’s voices in the movement of history- Proud of the film, and all her filmmakers. Thank you from a full heart. »(Best Actor in a Supporting Role, « The Shape of Water ») »I’m so excited and thrilled by the nomination and for « The Shape of Water » team lead by Guillermo the Great. It is rare and humbling to be part of something so special. »(Best Actor in a Supporting Role, « The Florida Project ») »I’m very happy to be recognized by the Academy for my role in Sean Baker’s « The Florida Project. » I am very proud of this movie that authentically expresses the human spirit’s natural impulse to extend itself to others even in difficult circumstances. »and don’t miss the Oscars on ABC on March 4.
