• “I am so glad you love Violet so much … These nominations keep her from kicking the bucket.” – Maggie Smith, nominated for her role as the sharp-tongued Dowager Countess on Downton Abbey
• “Sometimes acting is like inviting a new lodger in and she was definitely the most fun to have around. I miss her. And the diamonds.” – Helena Bonham Carter, nominated for her role as Elizabeth Taylor in Burton and Taylor
• “This is an embarrassment of riches, and boy, am I happy to be embarrassed.” – Julia Louis-Dreyfus, nominated for the third consecutive year for Veep
• “I got the news while in Alabama visiting family … Between the nomination and all the fried food, I’m in heaven!” – Tony Hale, nominated for Veep
• “I am absolutely thrilled to have been nominated again. I am on set today filming series 5 so, Lady Mary has a big grin on her face for a change!” – Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey)
• “So happy with these nominations. This breaks my ‘I can’t believe what happened to Brazil funk.’ ” – Billy Crystal, nominated for outstanding variety special for Billy Crystal: 700 Sundays
• “I was just struck with an extreme sense of gratitude. I loved this play for so long. I read it for the first time when I was 14. It changed my life.

That’s why I wanted to be a part of the film.” – Matt Bomer, nominated for his turn in The Normal Heart
