I just feel very lucky, very privileged, Fassbender says about the nomination.

Its been such a great year for cinema, even films that havent been nominated.

Asked if things felt different this time around, Fassbender said no.

I dont think it ever changes, he says.

The first time, again, I was very humbled by the consideration.

Its always very exciting.

… Well, not always, just the twice.

Its baffling, but thats why I was saying that I feel privileged.

you’re able to never take these things for granted, he says.

Im just baffled by that.

I really do think weve got something original and special for this genre.

Just in general, actually, its been an amazing journey, he says.

Weve got a really good shorthand, so I was very pleased when they came on board.

But theres no rest for Fassbender.

Then, its a long holiday that could last half of a year.

Hes been planning that for a while.

I was [hoping] to take a break, whenSteve Jobslanded on my lap, he says.

I just couldnt not do that.

It was such a rare opportunity, so it just sort of went that way.

But I feel good.

I feel like Ive got plenty of energy, but I will be enjoying that summer holiday.
