But I am going to Critics’ Choice Awards and will be great to see everyone from the film there tonight. Truly, this is shocking."
Bruce Dern, best actor nominee for "Nebraska": "I crawled out of bed because I saw it was 5:44 [a.m]...My best friend and business partner were with me. I'm absolutely thrilled, and most thrilled at our six nominations. That's pretty God damned good. Laura [Dern] was the first one to call me, which is very appropriate."
Meryl Streep, best actress nominee for "August: Osage County": "I am so happy for our film that Julia and I have been nominated. We are both so proud of August: Osage County.
