To my fellow nominees, whoever they are - I'm not that familiar with their work - I just want to say, there's always next year - except, you know, for Ray Romano .

Having that amount of nominations makes me a little nervous, because you feel that the bar is really high, the expectations are really high, but it also feels great.

There are always at least five good films at the end of the year to get nominated, but generally speaking nowadays, it's more of the independent films that are recognized.

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 know a lot of procedurals have huge viewership, yet they're never nominated for awards.

The main reason we've been the party out of power so long is we haven't had a good nominating process.

Any nominations a movie gets helps to raise the level of curiosity in the public, so in that sense awards and nominations are important.
