“On behalf of our entire production, we are honored that the Academy has recognized our film,” Spielberg and Macosko Krieger said in a statement.

“Filmmaking is, by nature, a collaborative experience and we learned first-hand that musicals require a special kind of team effort.  We share today’s excitement with the families and estates of ‘West Side Story’s creators; our fellow nominees; our incredible screenwriter Tony Kushner; our much-missed friend and cheerleader, Stephen Sondheim; and fans all over the world who celebrate West Side Story’s singular music and timeless story of intolerance, love and, ultimately, hope,” they added.

“We want to thank the Academy for this tremendous recognition of so many artists’ hard work,” del Toro, Dale and Cooper said, “To see ‘Nightmare Alley’ nominated for Best Picture alongside so many terrific, artistic, unforgettable films is a testament to the entire cast and crew on the production. It took nearly four years to bring this project together, and to see the commitment, creativity and determination of the artisans come to life with nominations for Tamara and Shane for their immersive and inventive production design; Luis for his spectacular and sumptuous costume design; and Dan for his incomparable cinematography is truly gratifying. We thank Searchlight for never giving up on this film and want to express our appreciation to the wonderful cast for making Nightmare a dream come true.”
