Jackie about his and Amelia's reaction to his oscar nomination: "Needless to say, I did a little toss-ing and turning last night. My wife, Amelia, got up early and I was pretending to sleep. She came into the bed-room screaming and crying and abso-lutely beside herself yelling, 'You got it, you got it!' I was totally overwhelmed with emotion. We just held each other and cried and shared the experience. With everything I've been through and experienced, for the Academy to vote and include me, it's a wonderful, validating feeling."
