Richard E. Grant's star
When nominated for an Academy Award, some actors accept the nomination quietly in an attempt to convey a certain level of coolness.
Richard E. Grant is not one of these actors. The 61-year-old is not even going to pretend that he's not totally over-the-moon excited about his first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Can You Ever Forgive Me?

On Twitter, Grant posted a series of very blurry selfies with the other nominees.

Living the dream, indeed.
