Keira Knightley: "Going From Just A Pretty Face To Nominated For An Oscar Was Hilarious."

Keira Knightley and Atonement costar James McAvoy have not only generated buzz over their indulgent sex scene, but also Oscar talk over their performances. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Keira revealed what it's like going through the Oscar nomination process:

"For me it was the first time that anyone said that I could remotely act. So going from just a pretty face who's sh** to somebody being nominated for an Oscar was hilarious. And also I know that I hadn't got a f***ing hope in hell of actually winning it, so it took the pressure off. But, I never read a script and go, 'Ooh that could be an Oscar.'"
