It’s been a morning of stars and filmmakers phoning in their reactions to the Golden Globe nominations. A smattering of the more entertaining responses:
“I think in Australia, because I’ve been around for 48 years, people think of me as a piece of old comfortable furniture. And now suddenly foreigners like me.’ -- Jacki Weaver on her turn as the conniving Smurf Cody in ‘Animal Kingdom’
‘You don’t expect late in your career to actually meet somebody that you form a very strong friendship and bond with. Which certainly happened with me and Colin [Firth] and Tom [Hooper]. It’s a rather embarrassing triumvirate of man love.’ -- Geoffrey Rush on the, er, chemistry on the set of ‘The King’s Speech’
“A lot of tequila will run in our veins tonight.’ -- ‘Biutiful’ director Alejandro González Iñárritu on his post-nomination plans
‘I can remember when I found out that I had been nominated for ‘The Full Monty’ I was clearing cat sick off the floor. I really must get a more glamorous life one of these days.’ -- ‘127 Hours’ screenwriter Simon Beaufoy
‘I told [3-year-old-daughter] Nahla about [the nomination] and she said, ‘That’s great. Where are my eggs?’’ -- Halle Berry on priorities in the Berry household
‘The category is insane. It’s, like, what the hell is going on here?’-- Emma Stone on the nominees for best actress, comedy or musical, which range from her to Annette Bening to Angelina Jolie
‘There will be a lot of ballet jokes. Last night Letterman made fun of the film. I think he said, ‘If you don’t want to celebrate Christmas, you can go see two Jewish girls make out.’” -- Darren Aronofsky, on how he expects the ‘Black Swan’ ribbing to happen at the Globes and beyond
-- Steven Zeitchik, with additional reporting by Amy Kaufman, Rebecca Keegan, Chris Lee and Nicole Sperling
