Rose Byrne has finally been nominated for her first ever Oscar, a huge moment in her career.
The 46-year-old Australian actress earned a spot in the Best Actress category for her charming role in If I had legs, I’d kick you.
This performance came after her recent Golden Globes win, which made it even more special for her.
Byrne admitted she was completely shocked when she learned of her Oscar nod.
“I can’t believe it. I feel like I snuck into the back of the bus,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.
The actress added that it felt overwhelming but amazing to be part of the history and ceremony of the Academy Awards.
As a little girl in Sydney, she used to watch the star-studded event and dreamed of a moment like this all her life.
The platonic star also shared a sweet update on her family, which included her bearded dragon husband Bobby Cannavale and their children at the Globes.
“He is doing well! The children are very happy,” she said.
However, Rose faced stiff competition this year, including Jessie Buckley, Kate Hudson, Renate Reinsve and Emma Stone.
At the same time, movies like Sinner made history with record nominations, while some favorites like Ariana Grande were surprisingly left out.
The 98th Academy Awards, for the uninitiated, will take place at the Dolby Theater on March 15.
