The stars of \"The Theory of Everything,\" Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, were both equally over the moon about their nominations too.

\"I cannot tell you how surreal this is. I’ve literally gone from an incredibly deep sleep to a 100 mile an hour insane euphoria in about three seconds – so I have no idea what planet I’m on,\" Redmayne told \"Good Morning America.\" \"I wasn’t watching like everyone else I’m in Los Angeles and I was asleep and there’s suddenly this wrap on the door and I was in pitch black and I stumble towards the door and it was my manager Jason who was staying at the same hotel with this wonderful group of people who were all on the phone who I’ve been working with for years and there was just this eclectic company of screaming going on on the phone.\"

Jones, meanwhile, said that she was celebrating with her mother.

\"We’ve been screaming together. And my brother so it’s just so, I can’t quite believe it’s happened. It’s something you never quite expect,\" she gushed. \"It’s been one of those films that we just have had cared so so deeply about. So it’s just unbelievable. And it’s so great that the film has been nominated. And Eddie and Antoine. So it’s just yeah it’s fantastic, fantastic news.\"

The small, yet acclaimed \"Whiplash\" earned five nominations, to which the film's star Miles Teller couldn't contain his excitement.

\"5 Oscar nominations for Whiplash?!! Booya!\" he tweeted this morning, also giving a shotuout to his co-star J.K. Simmons, who also earned a nod. \"Yaaaa!!! Go Whiplash!! JK Simmons for the win!\"

5 Oscar nominations for Whiplash?!! Booya!

Hans Zimmer was nominated for Best Original Score for \"Interstellar\" and he said, \"Without a shadow of doubt, the score for INTERSTELLAR was Chris and I at our most collaborative. Even in this modern world of texting and emailing, sometimes all you need is a simple, type-written letter from your director to spark what undoubtedly became one of the most personal scores I've ever written.\"

Other nominees this morning included Meryl Streep for her work in “Into the Woods,” along with Patricia Arquette and Emma Stone in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Stone’s “Birdman” had a huge morning, earning nine nominations, including Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor for Edward Norton and Best Movie. “The Grand Budapest Hotel” also tied for the lead in nominations with nine.
