“Joel and Ethan [Coen] have completely changed my life. There’s a reason why [this] happens to so many actors who are involved in their movies because they create a stage for people to do their absolute best work. Not only the actors themselves, but everyone involved.”
Greta Gerwig
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for Frances Ha
“I’m so surprised and excited and honored… I found out from a phone call, I was asleep. I didn’t know that the nominations were announced today! I had read that you get a phone call really early in the morning and my phone rang and I thought I was in trouble so I ignored it and then got really anxious that I was in trouble. Then I looked at my phone and saw all these nominations — not nominations! Text messages, I only got one nomination! And that’s how I found out. I’m verklempt, is that a word? Yes, I’m verklempt. It was totally a surprise, I feel like a cliché. I seem like I am acting too surprised!”
