Felicity Jones has recalled the moment she found out she had been nominated for an Oscar for her role in The Theory of Everything, saying there was "lots of hyperventilating".
The star, who is nominated for Best Actress, told The Jonathan Ross Show: "You are told you'll get a phone call at 5.30am. I just thought, 'I'll sleep through it' - I wasn't really expecting a nomination..."
She continued: "I thought, 'It's fine, I'll wake up at 10am and it'll all have happened and I'll probably be commiserating... So I can just spend the day in bed'. But then I woke up at about 4am, just sprung up... So I just nervously waited. Then I got a phone call saying I'd been nominated."
She added: "There were no words. There was just lots of hyperventilating and exclamations and screaming and jumping around in my pyjamas!"
Also nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role are: Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Reese Witherspoon (Wild), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night).
The 87th Annual Academy Awards take place in Beverly Hills on February 22.
