"Inside Llewyn Davis" star Oscar Isaac told NBC's Today: "I'm still just kind of taking it in," he told them. "It's completely surreal. ... Getting cast as a lead in a Coen brothers movie I had won already, so the fact that it continues with getting acknowledged by the Hollywood Foreign Press is just insane, man."

12 Years a Slave star Lupita Nyong'o told NBC's Today: "It was like a rollercoaster going down," she said. "I'm still shaking from hearing my name in that context."

12 Years a Slave star Chiwetel Ejiofor told NBC's Today: "It's absolutely, absolutely thrilling. "Everything about ("12 Years") right from the moment that I opened the script and started reading about Solomon Northrup ... it's just been a really amazing journey," added Ejiofor. "So this is just fantastic. It's the most surreal."
