Brie Larson

BEST ACTRESS Oscar nominees Brie Larson andJennifer Lawrence had very different reactions to the happy news that they would go head to head at this year's Academy Awards - and, for once, it wasn't Lawrence using expletives.

"I am beyond grateful and humbled by this nomination," Oscar winner Lawrence, who received her fourth nomination yesterday, said. "I feel incredibly honoured to be recognised among the other amazing women in this category. Joy is an incredibly inspiring story about an ordinary woman who does extraordinary things. For me, working with David O Russell has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I share this nomination with him as well as our incredible supporting cast. I could not be more proud to be a part of this film."

Nominated for a fifth Oscar - which critics feel he is almost certain to win -Leonardo DiCaprio was equally keen to emphasise the importance of acknowledging the whole team behind The Revenant, which received 12 nominations in total.

"We were all very pleasantly surprised when we got the news with the number of nominations we had," he told Deadline on route to last night's London premiere. "It's pretty amazing for the type of film of that it is. It's the kind that studios don't really usually take on. We've been doing publicity trying to push the movie along through Europe. When you do this kind of work on the film, you want people to see it."

"We just flew in from England and landed about 3:30 in the morning and I couldn't go to sleep. I was just knocked out of my chair," Best Supporting Actor nominee Stallone told Deadline. "It's so gratifying that I got to share this with my daughters, Sophia, Sistine and Scarlett. The first time I was very green, very naive, and didn't realise how special it was to be recognised by your peers. I was 29 years old and now at 69 years old, this is a modern miracle."
