“I am beyond grateful and
humbled by this nomination. I feel incredibly honored to be recognized among
the other amazing women in this category. ‘Joy’ is an incredibly inspiring story
about an ordinary woman who does extraordinary things.  For me, working
with David O. Russell has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I share this
nomination with him as well as our incredible supporting cast. I could not be more
proud to be a part of this film and thankful to the producers and Fox for their
unyielding support.” – Jennifer Lawrence, Best Actress nominee for ‘Joy’

“I am incredibly humbled by this honor.  I was not expecting it . . . especially at this time in my life.  I am certainly grateful to the artists and collaborators who helped make it possible.” – Sylvester Stallone, Best Actor in a Supporting Role nominee for ‘Creed’

 “I
am so grateful to the Academy for their recognition of this film. Making ‘The
Revenant’ was one of the most rewarding and collaborative experiences of my
life. None of this would have been possible without Alejandro’s talent, vision
and determination. Our dedicated crew also deserves to share in this moment.
Together, they have created a truly unique cinematic experience.
Congratulations to all of my fellow nominees this season.  Thank you to
the Academy.’ – Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Actor nominee for ‘The
Revenant

joy,” – Jennifer Jason Leigh, Best Actress in a Supporting Role nominee

“I am in London and just heard the good news! We gave it our all on this film and this appreciation from the Academy means a lot to me and my colleagues who made it possible. Champagne and Mezcal will run tonight!” – Alejandro González Iñárritu, Best Director nominee for ‘The Revenant’, which is also up for Best Picture

“It is a delight to be celebrated as a supporting actor in Steven’s beautiful film, ‘Bridge of Spies.’ I cannot separate my work in the film from the work of my friend Tom Hanks. Every thought, every look, every expression you are celebrating in my portrayal of Rudolph Abel, I found them all in the thoughtful generous presence of Tom Hanks beside me, or behind the camera, yet still with me 100%, every take, every moment. Of course you would witness none of it without Steven, nor are any of the choices of what you witness mine. The performance belongs equally to him and all his wonderful crew, who I am proud to call friends, as I admire them enormously. May I say, I am particularly proud to be nominated as a supporting actor, as I find the level of supporting acting in films these days utterly convincing and very often extremely moving, even the smallest parts.” – Mark Ryalnce, Best Actor in a Supporting Role nominee for ‘Bridge of Spies’

“I am deeply grateful to The Academy for this honour. To be recognized alongside these actresses and their inspiring performances is humbling. To be a part of bringing The Danish Girl to life was such a gift and to receive this nomination is a thrill.” – Alicia Vikander, Best Actress in a Supporting Role nominee for ‘The Danish Girl’
