Michael Fassbender and the lads from 12 Years a Slave who we were lucky enough to catch up with ahead of the movie's release have all been nominated for a BAFTA and here's what they had to say on this morning's news.
"I'm so thrilled and honoured to be nominated. I am very proud to be a part of this film and want to thank BAFTA for all the support they have shown us"
Michael Fassbender - Nominated for Best Supporting Actor
‘I continue to be immensely proud of the recognition this film is getting around the world. There is, of course, something particularly special about receiving a BAFTA nomination from home.’
Chiwetel Ejiofor - Nominated for Best Leading Actor
"I was so excited to wake up in New York to news of ten BAFTA nominations for 12 Years A Slave. It's such an incredible honour to receive this recognition, especially from my peers back home."
Steve McQueen - Best Director
G'WAN the lads! Of course we are somwehat biased given that we've claimed Fassbender as our own.
