Gyllenhaal, 33, is up for outstanding performance by a male actor in a leading role for his turn as Louis Bloom in the upcoming Nightcrawler – and he thinks it’s an “honor.”

“Particularly this kind of nomination,” he adds, “from people who actually do what you do and know the odd, fascinating process of creating a character.”

The actor’s process for this particular role involved a drastic 30-lbs. weight loss.

However, he seemed just as thrilled by his sister’s nomination for outstanding performance by a female actor in a television movie or miniseries for The Honorable Woman, calling her performance “extraordinary.”
