Oscar nominations: So overwhelmed react the stars
Some miss their own nomination, the others only get it through friends - but thankfully and overwhelmed are probably all the stars who are allowed to go for an Oscar this year. This is how the most famous actors, directors and filmmakers reacted to their great success.
Bradley Cooper is grateful
Bradley Cooper (44, "Hangover"), whose "A Star Is Born" was able to score seven nominations, said "E! Online": "Everyone who starred in this movie has gone completely naked. ] Now seeing how the people who saw the movie talk about what he did in them, something deep - that simple human thing that we need each other - and that the Academy recognized that, that's what makes me that grateful."
Rami Malek (37, "Mr. Robot"), starring in the Queen's movie "Bohemian Rhapsody", was thrilled with the five nominations for the film: "I enjoyed playing Freddie Mercury and I'm deeply humble and excited to honor him in this way. "
Also received five Oscar nominations "The Green Book" with Mahershala Ali (44, "Moonlight"). He also congratulated his colleagues and also thanked his film character, the pianist dr. Donald Shirley: "I am immensely grateful for the lessons I have learned through his struggles and achievements."
Lupita Nyong'o (35, "12 Years A Slave") posted a video on Twitter featuring the cast of "Black Panther" saying, "That was our reaction when we saw the first footage of the movie and that's how we feel again! Thanks Acadamy! " The superhero movie has received seven nominations, including Best Picture.
"The Favorite" enters the race with ten nominations
"The Favorite" counts with ten Oscar nominations to this year's favorites of the award. Emma Stone (30, "La La Land"), who is nominated as "Best Supporting Actress" with Rachel Weisz (48, "The Mummy"), thanks director Giorgos Lanthimos (45, "The Lobster"): "Giorgos has a palace I'll forever blame him and the entire team that brought this insane vision to life. "
Probably the most honest reaction was shown by Richard E. Grant (61, "Logan - The Wolverine"), who is the "Best Supporting Actor" for his role in "Can You Ever Forgive Me". He stands in a Twitter video in front of the dorm where he lived 36 years ago at the beginning of his career, crying out for happiness.
Lady Gaga overslept the nomination
Lady Gaga (32, "American Horror Story"), the best actress in the race for her role in "A Star Is Born", has overslept the announcement of the Oscar nominations at five in the morning. She woke up around 8:30 am, got the call from her manager - and burst into tears, as she told the New York Times.
In Germany too, the nomination for "Werk Ohne Autor" was delayed, as director Florian Henkel von Donnersmarck (45, "The Lives of Others") tells the Hollywood Reporter: "I got it via e-mail several exclamation marks from a friend he had written to me and Caleb (Deschanel). " And for Deschanel (74, "The Patriot"), who is nominated in the category "Best Camera", the surprise could not have been bigger: "I'm really speechless and I'm honored - I thought nobody saw the movie? "
