'Tis the season for the SAGs! Nominations for the 2015 Screen Actors Guild Awards were revealed early Wednesday, Dec. 10, honoring TV and movie stars including Jennifer Aniston (for Cake), Keira Knightley (for The Imitation Game), and Michael Keaton (for Birdman). Not a bad way to start the day!
Below, see how Hollywood's best and brightest reacted to the news of their nominations.
Jennifer Aniston: "This is the best 6:00 a.m. wake-up call ever. Words can't describe how blessed I feel to be recognized like this by my peers for this film. What an enormous feeling of joy and gratitude."
Keira Knightley: "Thank you so much to the Screen Actors Guild. It's such an honor to be nominated by your peers and in the company of this group of talented women. I'm thrilled to celebrate this morning with Benedict [Cumberbatch] and the cast."
Michael Keaton: "As an actor being nominated by actors for playing an actor, I am truly, truly grateful for this honor. An ensemble like this hardly ever comes around, and all of us made this very unique film work — lead by our maestro, director Alejandro Inarritu."
Jake Gyllenhaal: "There are so many incredible performances by actors this year so to be included amongst them is pretty damn thrilling. More than anything though is the acknowledgement from other actors – who understand the odd, fascinating and ultimately magical job that creating a character can be – that moves me. I am even more happy for my sister who I think is extraordinary in the honorable woman and it would seem that SAG thinks so too. My sister's a badass."
Ethan Hawke: "I've been acting for 30 years now. So the SAG nomination is genuinely meaningful to me. Particularly this year, with the loss of Phil and Robin, our acting community is more important to me than ever."
Matt McGorry wrote on Facebook, "Congrats to my #oitnb family on the Comedy Ensemble #sagawards nomination! (There are so many of us, we live in a shoe)," sharing a photo of all of the Orange Is the New Black actors nominated.
