Oscar Nominations Reactions
Carey Mulligan
"It's so rare to find a female character that has some kind of journey and changes as a result. So many times, they're just accessory roles, the girlfriend or someone who performs some kind of plot function. A female character that had that much going on was rare."
-- Best actress, "An Education"
Also...
For her part, Mulligan registered her nomination Tuesday with unmitigated shock -- as well as some awe at being classed with Streep and Mirren. "It feels like there should be separate categories for those people and they should get a double Oscar or something," Mulligan gushed. "It's so mad, because they're light-years away -- honestly, they're people I've looked up to forever and ever, true idols of mine. I go bright red in the face and mumble every time I see them."

Nick Hornby
"I was at home. I think one knows how the winds are blowing. I thought we had a chance, but I was actually too tense to watch it on TV. I let my wife ['An Education' co-producer Amanda Posey] watch. She texted me from her office."
-- Best adapted screenplay, "An Education"
Also...
Nick Hornby, writer, "An Education" (via statement):
"I am thrilled and proud to be an Oscar nominee. It’s wonderful that a film of this size can attract the attention of the Academy and I hope it gives encouragement to independent filmmakers everywhere."
Penelope Cruz, supporting actress, "Nine" (via statement):

Filming this movie was such a special experience and to be nominated for this role makes me so happy."
