Some reactions from some 2010 Oscar nominees!

As you may know by now, the nominations fot the 82nd Annual Academy Awards are out, and as usual, some of the nominees were asked how they felt about being nominated in different categories. Here's what some of the stars and filmmakers had to say this year:

Vera Farmiga: “I am deeply honored and humbled by this recognition and truly grateful to the Academy for their support of 'Up In The Air.'  I feel my nomination is due, in large part, to the phenomenal work of George, Anna and Jason on this film and it is especially moving to receive my first nomination in their company.”

Anna Kendrick: “I am thrilled beyond words to be nominated with these talented and inspiring women. Being involved in a film as special as 'Up in the Air' was a dream come true. I am overwhelmed and honored by this nomination and am so grateful to be able to share this experience with George, Vera and Jason.”

Joel & Ethan Coen: "We are very happy to have received these nominations and would like to thank the Academy and everyone that made this film possible – a special thanks to Focus Features and Working Title Films.  Thank you very much."

Henry Selick ("Coraline"): "I feel very lucky and very grateful that Coraline is nominated. There were more excellent animated features released in 2009 than in any year before, so being included makes all of us from LAIKA and Focus Features very proud."

Quentin Tarantino: "Wow! This honor gives me such tremendous satisfaction. And I'd like to congratulate all the other nominees in the directing and writing categories. I'm proud to be in their company."

Colin Firth: "I thought I was managing my expectations, but on hearing the news I discovered new and unfamiliar vocal tones. Perhaps I should do another musical."

Penelope Cruz: "I am completely surprised and elated. Rob Marshall is not only a genius but an absolute joy to work with. I woke up every morning excited to collaborate with this amazingly talented group of actors. Filming this movie was such a special experience and to be nominated for this role makes me so happy."

Gabourey Sidibe: "I am so excited and honored to be recognized by the Academy and included in such a remarkable group of actors. I'm very proud of my film, my cast and extremely grateful to Mr. Daniels for the incredible opportunity to play Precious."

Mo’Nique: “What an honor to be nominated for this prestigious award. God bless us."

Pete Docter ("Up"): "We are humbled and grateful to the Academy. Being nominated among these remarkable animated films is such an amazing privilege. On top of that, to be honored as one of the best pictures of the year is just mind-blowing. It’s truly been a long, wonderful ride getting here, and with all sincerity it really does feel like we’re floating on air."

Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Princess and the Frog"): "This rare honor is a thrill, not only for us, but for the 400 or more artists who gave so much of their talents in bringing classical hand-drawn Disney animation in (The Princess and the Frog) back to the big screen."
