“I was like half asleep getting my hair and makeup done to go to something when I heard about the nomination. It was a very pleasant surprise. I had totally forgotten that was even happening, because Ive been traveling for three days. I was really excited.” (Larry Busacca / Getty Images)
“I was very happy; it’s awesome. After never getting nominated for anything, it’s much nicer to get nominated for stuff. And honestly, I think it will help more people be aware of the movie, which to me is one of the most important things. I think that Will [Reiser] did a pretty amazing thing by even writing this movie, so it’s really nice that people seem to like it. I was very pleased with and proud of the movie before this happened, but it’s obviously really nice when anyone recognizes what you’ve done. Believe me, I’ve done stuff that people hate, so whenever that doesnt happen, I’m psyched.” (Frederick M. Brown / Getty Images)
“I am grateful that the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. is honoring our film.

I wasnt like, Oh, this is my first film, Ive only done TV before, so I better change something. It was a seamless process. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
