"Clearly, we made it to win a Golden Globe, so it's all worked out perfectly." _ Director Todd Phillips on "The Hangover" being nominated for best picture, comedy or musical.

"The character in this film is a bipolar person, so finally I realized that _ and it took awhile _ that if he's bipolar it means the way he sees the world and the way he projects himself to the world are two very different things. And so I decided that the music would be the character in him that is really the part that people don't see but it's the part that he's thinking. ... It's almost a bipolar score if you know what I'm saying. And that's what I was trying to achieve." _ Marvin Hamlisch, nominated for best original film score for "The Informant!"
___
"I'm watching it with my roommates, with my manager and all these people, and we're watching at the same time, and we all jumped. Well, I jumped, certainly, because Justin Timberlake said my name. It's not just that I'm excited because he said my name, but I love that he said my name in the context of me possibly winning an award for this movie." _ Gabourey Sidibe, nominated for dramatic actress for her role in "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire."
