- Thought the nominations were going to be announced on Friday so she was very confused when her publicist and everyone else she knows was trying to call her at 5:45am. "I thought there had been some catastrophic event in the world.” She mentioned her Thursday was already mapped out to be a very ordinary day: "I'm having a pancake breakfast with my brother-in-law and then I’m going to get my roots done. I hadn’t really blocked the day out. I have 200 pages of a book to read for my book club.”

all these canadians be snatching my scalp lately. what a lovely bunch.

I'm glad she was nominated, I really liked her performance in Spotlight. I wish Keaton had been nominated for supporting actor over Ruffalo, though. I thought he gave a better performance, and that Mark was really one note, even though I loved the movie.

schrieber was the best imo

I love her and I want her to choose good roles.

Not really. BSA is pretty much anyone's guess currently. There hasn't really been a frontrunner since KStew won most of the critics' lists.

I don't believe her but she sounds just like us TBH, I want to drink a beer with her

i believe her since she clarifies that she just got the day wrong...not that she simply forgot it all together.

She's so cute

feels like she didn't campaign much either, good for her.

Her nomination was a surprise, so I don't doubt it.

I wonder if her book club is a celeb one or not lol

like i said before she didn't do shit in spotlight but i like her so much i am happy she was nominated

I adore her. She's really talented, has a great personality, and is so so beautiful to boot. Isn't she the one who one of her coworkers invited to hang out with them after work and she was like no thanks, I've got plans, and then they went to a bar and saw her drinking and chilling out by herself lol.

Yep! If I recall correctly, that instance happened while she was filming "Mean Girls". Can't really blame her for not wanting to hang out with Lohan and Co, tbh.

How is her nomination such a surprise when she was featured on the predicted list of nominees posted right here on ONTD the day before the Oscars nominees were announced?

Like it's right here, you don't even need any inside info to expect her nomination?

I love her, I'm really happy for her nom, but it was no surprise.

spotlight lost the the hype quickly and she was only nominated for 2 of being ones so her chances werent that big

Everyone thought Helen was going to get her spot, plus Scott's predictions aren't always super accurate.

Who are everyone? Like I haven't seen anything, but 3-4 critics I follow, who make predictions all had her on their lists, and a couple of my friends who make predictions for years and are usually very accurate also had her on their list.
So for me she was a lock. And clearly they were correct since here she is an Oscar nominee as predicted.

lol mte, she got a sag nomination so it's not like her nom came out of nowhere....

The only one that can use this excuse and I'm inclined to believe

LOL this girl takes the TTC I believe her plus my friend was classmates with her at York and always said she was low key and no-bullshit

omg why would you take the TTC voluntarily.

Congrats to her. Kinda OT but I couldn't watch the GG last week until Denzel's award but did people bring up that both her and Ryan were in the same room? I just realized when coming in this post that they were both there.

Ya I was totally aware of them both being there and was wondering if there'd be any mention of it. I'm not sure how often they've crossed paths or how amicable they are? Ughhh they're both so pretty that I'm still having the hardest time letting go at all.
