Stars React To The 2015 Oscar Nominations

The 2015 Academy Award nominations were announced early this morning, and the reactions from the stars are already pouring in. Even host Neil Patrick Harris got in on the nomination reaction frenzy, losing a bet about a very obscure category to his daughter. Here's how celebrities expressed their excitement.  Benedict Cumberbatch on his Best Actor nomination for The Imitation Game:
"I am knocked for six by this. So excited and honoured to receive this recognition. It’s wonderful to be included by the Academy in this exceptional year of performances. To ring my parents who are both actors and tell them that their only son has been nominated for an Oscar is one of the proudest moments of my life." Emma Stone on her Best Supporting Actress nomination for Birdman:
"Well this is surreal. I am completely knocked out. Thank you to the Academy for this incredible honor. I am very proud and lucky to be part of Birdman and I can’t believe it came to this. I am so fucking excited. Are you allowed to say 'fuck' when making a statement for the Oscars? I’m just really fucking excited." Julianne Moore on her Best Actress nomination for Still Alice:
