Straight from Fox Searchlight, the reactions from Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, T Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham to their Oscar nominations today:

Jeff Bridges, Best Performance by an Actor in a Lead Role: “I’m so grateful to have the honor of a fifth Oscar nomination, but to share this with my Crazy Heart colleagues T Bone and Ryan and my amazing co-star Maggie is truly special — this film is near and dear to my heart and theirs. I want to thank the Academy for being so kind to me for the past 40 years. And I want to thank my director Scott Cooper for helping bring Bad Blake to life, and to my wonderful wife Sue for being there for me the past 33 years. Today is filled with blessings.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role: “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!”

T Bone Burnett, Music/Original Song — “The Weary Kind (Theme from Crazy Heart)”: “All of us who worked on Crazy Heart are so proud of this film, and are incredibly thankful that audiences are embracing it, and that reaction from critics and the film industry has been so overwhelmingly positive. To receive an Academy Award nomination, along with Ryan Bingham, Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal, is a great honor and further validates our belief in this film. I am personally very grateful to the Academy for this recognition of our work.”

Ryan Bingham, 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.”
