CNN —While there has been some head-scratching about some overlooked contenders who weren’t nominated for Oscars for the “Barbie” movie on Tuesday morning, America Ferrera’s wonderfully unexpected best supporting actress nod is certainly one to celebrate. “I’m stunned and so moved to be nominated among the brilliant artists who have done beautiful and important work this year,” Ferrera said in a statement sent to CNN later on Tuesday. Her statement continued, “I’m so proud to get to bring Latiné representation to this years Academy Awards, along with my fellow Latiné nominees. Courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures“Oppenheimer’s” Emily Blunt and Jodie Foster in “Nyad” round out the category nominees. But, to the chagrin of many, they did not earn nominations in the best director and lead actress categories, respectively.
