Bradley, Felicity, and More Stars React to Their "Incredible" Oscar Nominations

"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*cking excited. Are you allowed to say f*ck when you're making a statement for the Oscars? I'm just really f*cking excited."

"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."

"What an exciting morning! I'm so honored and grateful for this nomination and to be in the company of such talented and inspiring actresses. Thank you to the Academy for this recognition and also for honoring so many of the film's storytellers. I would like to think the many recognitions the Academy has given our movie is a celebration of Alan Turing's legacy."

"I feel so grateful to the Academy for this gorgeous honor. It means so much to celebrate the life and the wisdom of Cheryl Strayed's amazing mother, Bobbi. Reese [Witherspoon], who worked so diligently to protect this story, and I share this with our amazing producers, as well as Jean-Marc Vallée and Nick Hornby, who gave their art to shape Wild."

"I've been asked to make a 'statement' even though I feel it does sound more like bragging. Nevertheless, my producers and I send our very deepest thanks to the Academy and its 8,000 members for a whole slew of Oscar nominations, especially for my long-time collaborators Robert Yeoman (our cinematographer who has worked with me on seven movies, if I count them right), Milena Canonero (our Italian costume designer), Alexandre Desplat (our French composer), Barney Pilling (our English editor), Frances Hannon and Mark Coulier (more English, hair/make-up), and Adam Stockhausen out of Wisconsin. Also, my friend Hugo Guinness (who co-wrote the movie with me) expresses his own gratitude. We feel very deeply honored and thrilled and, frankly, very, very pleased with ourselves all around."

"I had such an amazing journey with this film, and I am so happy to know that the Academy members watched it. I dreamt of taking Two Days, One Night to the Oscars and I am so happy that it is actually happening. I didn't expect it would happen this way. It makes me so happy. I am proud to represent Belgium; I am proud to represent my beloved country France. Thank you Academy, and thank you Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne for taking me to the Oscars!"

"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."

"Playing a challenging role like Joseph Palmer was a reward in itself, but getting recognition for the work from the Academy is a real honor. And we all know that we don't work alone — my performance is really just part of a very collaborative process, so I have to thank everyone I worked with on The Judge, especially David Dobkin and Robert Downey Jr., for giving me the chance, and the freedom, to bring the character to life."

"This is a tribute to Chris Kyle, his family, and all of the service men and women who sacrifice their lives for their countries and their families. It is a privilege and an honor to play Chris and I share this with Sienna [Miller], Clint [Eastwood], Jason Hall, the rest of SEAL team three, and everyone involved with the film."

"Mostly I’m just grateful. Grateful to Megan Ellison and everyone who trusted and gave themselves to this film. It's the film I wanted to make. I’m proud of it and everyone involved and I’m deeply grateful to be recognized by the Academy. "

"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."

“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.”
