I had been told by so many people that I was going to be nominated, that I should be nominated, that there wasn't any question about my being nominated. I don't think it was a surprise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't get upset because I wasn't nominated, but I was a little surprised.
Well, no, I didn't because I didn't even know the nominations were coming out. I gotta say, it wasn't even on my radar. I hadn't... I hadn't even thought about it.
Everyone says, 'It's just an honor to be nominated,' but that's so not true. You want to win.
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
I am always a little surprised when anyone sees anything I make, so being nominated for the Oscar is beyond amazing - what a tremendous honor.
Being nominated is the win. For me, being nominated is winning. It's just unbelievable.
You want to win. Everyone says, 'It's just an honor to be nominated,' but that's so not true. You want to win.
It hasn't been hard getting nominated, but winning it is another thing. The competition is tough.
I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that's, of course, wonderful. I'm really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.
I got nominated for a Tony, which was a complete surprise. It was an experience that I will always cherish.
