Eddie Redmayne Oscar nomination came to be a bit of surprise and shock for the "Les Misérables" star. His recent movie project is "The Theory of Everything" where he took the role of Stephen Hawking.
For this role, he gained an Eddie Redmayne Oscar nomination. How did he learn about the nomination? "I'm currently staying in a hotel in Los Angeles and I was fast asleep. There was suddenly a rap on the door, I stumbled out of bed in my towel, and opened the door, and my manager was standing there brandishing a telephone, screaming down the phone. So I was hoping that was a good thing," shares Redmayne. Indeed, it was a good thing. This is the Brit's first Eddie Redmayne Oscar nomination.
The newly-wed actor shared this Eddie Redmayne Oscar nomination to his wife, but it turns out his wife knew it first before him. Redmayne's competition for the Best Actor category includes Bradley Cooper for "American Sniper," Michael Keaton for "Birdman," Steve Carell for "Foxcatcher," and "The Imitation Game's" Benedict Cumberbatch, who is considered by many as Redmayne's greatest rival for the award.
"The Theory of Everything" film received five Oscar nominations including Eddie Redmayne Oscar nomination and another in Best Actress category. Felicity Jones' portrayal of Jane Hawking is too commendable not to notice.
When Eddie Redmayne was asked to comment about the now famous "Sherlock" star, he said: "We haven't spoken, but we have texted. There was many an exclamation mark being used. We've come up together and Ben is a good friend, and such an amazing actor. Benedict is so extraordinary in Imitation Game. It is a genuine honor to be amongst that group of actors."
The Brit actor also joins the cast of the upcoming movie "Jupiter Ascending" as Balem Abrasax. As the movie's premiere draws nearer, he might still be rejoicing for this Eddie Redmayne Oscar nomination.
