Lily Gladstone, Christopher Nolan, Colman Domingo and many more react to their Oscar nominations

“It’s all so long overdue. It’s a real moment of restoration, placing indigenous talent in these roles, spotlighting their humanity, their their characters, just the way that all of the sisters exist on screen, I think is shattering a lot of stereotypes people have about Indigenous women." — Lily Gladstone, the first Native American nominated for best actress, for “Killers of the Flower Moon.” In an interview with The Associated Press from the Oklahoma Osage reservation where the events of the film took place.

“I grew up loving Hollywood movies and believing studio filmmaking can take on anything. Seeing audiences respond to that this summer was incredibly thrilling and getting this kind of recognition from the academy, I don’t know what to say, really. It certainly confirms our faith in what studio filmmaking can be.” — Christopher Nolan, nominated for best director, best picture and best adapted screenplay for “Oppenheimer,” in an AP interview.

“I think my dog got scared a little bit because I was screaming in the apartment.” — Sandra Hüller, nominated for best actress for “Anatomy of a Fall,” in an AP interview.

“The idea of getting this nomination is seismic, it’s truly seismic. It’s not only for me, it’s for Maya Rustin, it’s for people who look like me, being an openly gay man as well as being also part Afro-Latino. I’m representing so many groups and people that are just so happy for me that I exist in this space.” — Colman Domingo, nominated for best actor for “Rustin," in an AP interview.
