In an interview with the American Portal “Us Weekly” he said that he had initially called his colleague, Melissa McCarthy, and they had together cried: “I’m just very emotional.”
He learned of the nomination, as he had been with his daughter at lunch, in London, reported to Grant: “you had to run a Live-Stream on your iPhone. She had on a headphone plug, I the other.” The Swaziland-born and raised actor is nominated as “Best supporting actor”.
