“I was like half asleep getting my hair and makeup done to go to something when I heard about the nomination. It was a very pleasant surprise. I had totally forgotten that was even happening, because Ive been traveling for three days. I was really excited.” (Larry Busacca / Getty Images)
“I was very happy; it’s awesome. After never getting nominated for anything, it’s much nicer to get nominated for stuff. And honestly, I think it will help more people be aware of the movie, which to me is one of the most important things. I think that Will [Reiser] did a pretty amazing thing by even writing this movie, so it’s really nice that people seem to like it. I was very pleased with and proud of the movie before this happened, but it’s obviously really nice when anyone recognizes what you’ve done. Believe me, I’ve done stuff that people hate, so whenever that doesnt happen, I’m psyched.” (Frederick M. Brown / Getty Images)
“I am grateful that the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. is honoring our film. This was a true collaboration, and I am forever indebted to our cast and crew, who experienced their own personal tragedies in the Bosnian war and gave me an authentic perspective into the conflict. This nomination is a tribute to the collective talent and passion of this extraordinary cast.” (Danny Moloshok / Associated Press)

Oh, my gosh -- Im so excited and grateful and in that quasi-sleep mode. I dont think a lot of filmmakers pay attention to whether or not you come from TV, she said. I wasnt like, Oh, this is my first film, Ive only done TV before, so I better change something. It was a seamless process. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
“I’m thrilled not only for myself and the entire ‘Downton Abbey’ cast, but also for my two husbands -- Hugh Bonneville, my TV husband, and Simon Curtis, my real-life husband, who directed ‘My Week With Marilyn.’ We all look forward to putting on our glad rags for the awards.” (Kirk McKoy / Los Angeles Times)
