2013 Oscar Nominee reactions

Michael Haneke, "Amour" writer and director (Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film)

“I am very happy and gratified by the Oscar nominations that 'Amour' has received today, and that the voting members of the Academy have taken the film so strongly to their hearts. It is fulfilling to discover that a film has found the audience and critical acclaim that 'Amour' has garnered.  I have been very fortunate on both those fronts, but it is especially rewarding to discover that a film has found favor among one’s industry peers who know, in particular, the effort that goes into getting a film – any film – made.  I am also especially happy for all the people who made 'Amour' with me.  It is a joyous occasion for us all.  Many thanks.”
