And more reactions from some big names on this Oscar Nomination Day:

Will Smith regarding his nomination for Best Actor in The Pursuit of Happyness:

Congratulations to all the nominees. It is a great honor to be considered among this calibre of performers. No competition, all celebration. Let the parties begin.

Guillermo del Toro on the 6 nominations received by Pan’s Labyrinth:

This is an unimaginable experience for me. I am both humbled and honored that Pan’s Labyrinth is receiving so much recognition from so many fields. To receive 6 nominations for a film that is a true labor of love exceeds any expectation I could have ever had in my overweight life. It is specially beautiful to share this moment with my dear friends Alfonso Cuaron and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. This is an unprecedented representation of Spanish language filmmakers and actors. To have my film included among this list of remarkable nominees is a true honor that I will never forget.
