They've all received the biggest honor in the biz! We can't imagine any of these people can feel sad today!

Some of the actors, directors and producers that were nominated for Oscars this morning are sharing their reactions and thanks with the world for their honor. Here are just a few of happy reactions:

Natalie Portman, Best Actress, Black Swan:

"I am so honored and grateful to the Academy for this recognition. It is a wonderful culmination of the 10-year journey with Darren to make this film. Making 'Black Swan' is already the most meaningful experience of my career, and the passion shown for the film has completed the process of communication between artists and audience. I am so thankful for the support we have received and I share this honor with the entire cast and crew of the film, especially Darren Aronofsky."

Nicole Kidman, Best Actress, Rabbit Hole

"What an extraordinary journey this film has taken me on! ‘Rabbit Hole’ has been a labor of love and I'm so thankful to John Cameron Mitchell, David Lindsay-Abaire and the brilliant cast. This nomination reflects all of the heart and soul that these people have put into it and I can't thank them enough."

Jeremy Renner, Best Supporting actor, The Town

"I was so fearful of doing the accent and then (director) Ben (Affleck) said 'No dialogue coach,' but once I began into the role it kind of came naturally," Renner said. The Boston setting "helped as well because Charlestown (neighborhood) is so much a character in the movie itself and thematically it shows we are products of our environment. My nomination is a victory for all us in a way."

Mark Wahlberg, Best Picture, The Fighter

"It has been such an incredible journey with The Fighter and one that I am grateful to share with David O. Russell, Christian, Melissa, Amy, my fellow producers and the Ward and Eklund families, who are the heart and soul of the film. Thank you to the Academy for this tremendous honor."

Amy Adams, Best Supporting Actress, The Fighter

"The funny thing is some of the producers from 'The Fighter' are producing [The Muppet Movie] too, so it will be a fun atmosphere with me and them and Miss Piggy and Kermit."

Ha! Fingers crossed for you Amy!

Congrats again to all the amazing talents that were nominated! Well deserved all around!

Ignorance. Don't you just love loathe it?

The topic of this morning's Rush Limbaugh Show was Nicole Kidman's baby. Remember how she opted to have a surrogate? Wouldn't you know it, Rush has an opinion on that.

Take a listen (above)…try not to slam your head against the keyboard.

When Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were deciding how they wanted to add to their family tree, they ended up agreeing upon a surrogate to carry their child. Then, it became a question of whether to hire one from Nicole's home of Australia or the good ole U.S. of A. As we know now, the couple decided on a woman from Nashville, TN, but only because they aren't as well known here as they are down under.

We're told that while Keith and Nicole are high in the celeb ranks here in America, they are the top of the heap in Australia. Because they are kept under a more watchful eye in Australia, it would have been a lot easier for the press to learn what they were up.

It most certainly worked! We were all in the dark about the whole thing! We hear even her reps didn't know what was up!

Pretty sneaky, Nicky!

Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban were displaying some serious PDA last night at the Golden Globes.

Maybe the newest addition to their family played a part in their blissful happiness!

The couple revealed today that they are the proud parents of a baby girl who was born via a surrogate!

Faith Margaret Kidman Urban arrived Dec. 28 at Nashville's Centennial Women's Hospital.

She was born through a gestational carrier and is the biological daughter of Kidman and Urban.

The family said in a statement:

"Our family is truly blessed, and just so thankful, to have been given the gift of baby Faith Margaret. No words can adequately convey the incredible gratitude that we feel for everyone who was so supportive throughout this process, in particular our gestational carrier."

Congratulations! We're so happy for you!

Isn't she adorbs?!

Despite delays after a long flight from Australia, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and Sunday Rose were all in good spirits as they arrived in El Lay on Friday.

Looks like they're ready to start celebrating!

If Nicole Kidman, finds Aaron Eckhart a wifey, we're thinking he'll call it a draw!

While shooting Rabbit Hole together, Eckhart has admitted that it got pretty tense between himself and co-star Kidman, but he's made it clear that it's nothing out of the norm.

Here's what he had to say about it:

"She was irritated with me and I was irritated with her but that's the way movie-making is. For one day, are we not allowed? For half a day even?…It's so surprising to me when people are surprised that movie making is sometimes tense and uncomfortable because inherently it's going to be.

You're around tens of people or hundreds of people working on things that are imaginary and that come from the soul. You could be dealing with subject matter like prostitution, death, drugs, blah, blah, blah. How could you expect that not to be uncomfortable?"

Clearly, he's not TOO uncomfortable with Kidman. Here's what he had to say about reports that she's trying to play matchmaker for the actor:

"The proof's in the pudding. Let's see her put her money where her mouth is. I haven't seen it yet."

Sounds like things should be fine between these two, and we're glad to hear it!

Now get going and find Aaron Eckhart a bride-to-be, Nicole! LOLs.

He's having a busy week!!

Earlier this week, it was announced that James Franco will be co-hosting the Oscars and now the actor may have a new gig!

He's in talks to star Sweet Bird of Youth on Broadway next fall with Nicole Kidman.

The last time the Tennessee Williams play was on Broadway was in 1975, starring Christopher Walken.

This will certainly be a hot ticket and will hopefully bring some life into Broadway, which has prematurely closed several shows recently.

Would U want to see James Franco on stage??

Nicole Kidman and hubby Keith Urban stepped out in Nashville, Tennessee to do some early Christmas shopping with Keith's parents Bob and Marienne on Nov. 30th.

As he walks next to his father, we definitely see where Keith got his signature, laid back style!
