FROM VERA FARMIGA, Academy Award nominee for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:

“I am deeply honored and humbled by this recognition and truly grateful to the Academy for their support of Up In The Air. I feel my nomination is due, in large part, to the phenomenal work of George, Anna and Jason on this film and it is especially moving to receive my first nomination in their company.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal, CRAZY HEART
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

“I am thrilled…beyond thrilled. I was completely surprised, overwhelmed and overjoyed this morning when I heard about the nomination. I am so proud of this movie. Working with Jeff was amazing. He opened me up and pushed me so far. I’d love to keep making movies with him over and over again. Scott Cooper wrote such a beautiful script and was so full of love and strength as a director. I am honored and overjoyed!”

FROM ANNA KENDRICK, Academy Award nominee for BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS:

“I am thrilled beyond words to be nominated with these talented and inspiring women. Being involved in a film as special as Up in the Air was A dream come true. I am overwhelmed and honored by this nomination and am so grateful to be able to share this experience with George, Vera and Jason.”

Ryan Bingham, CRAZY HEART
MUSIC, ORIGINAL SONG – “The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)”

“Being a part of CRAZY HEART has been the experience of a lifetime, and I never could have imagined when I first started writing ‘The Weary Kind” that it would have led to such an honor from the Academy. I couldn’t have asked to work with a more amazing and talented group of people on my first film. I feel both privileged and excited to share this Oscar nomination today along with T Bone Burnett, Jeff Bridges, and Maggie Gyllenhaal.”
