“I'm extremely happy to have been nominated. And very fortunate, the British actress said in a statement released after hearing the good news.
Playing Hanna Schmitz will always remain one of the biggest challenges I've ever been blessed with.
I'm genuinely thrilled not just for myself but for the wonderful Stephen Daldry and David Hare, she says, referring to The Reader's director and screenwriter, both of whom were nominated in their respective categories.
These nominations are a testament to their unwavering commitment to this film. And I'm also very happy for all the people in Germany whose hard work on The Reader has been rewarded by these nominations.
