00:00 Is this just old hat for you at this point? Another Oscars?
00:02 No, it's never old hat. It's always new hat. I love it.
00:06 I'm honestly grateful just to be a part of it.
00:09 It's the 15th time and it could be my first time.
00:12 I mean, I stay up all night waiting for the nominations. I just am
00:16 hearing my song, the name of my song. I already won.
00:19 When you learned that this song from Flamin' Hot was nominated,
00:23 your 15th nomination, what was your reaction?
00:26 Jump up and down, screaming. Yeah.
00:30 What can we expect from the performance on Sunday?
00:33 I was at the rehearsal today. It's going to be amazing. It's going to be amazing.
00:36 Are you going to be on stage at all? No, not this.
00:38 I was last year with Sophia Carson and that was, that was, I was so nervous.
00:43 She wasn't nervous last year. We're standing about to go on.
00:46 I go, are you nervous? She goes, no. I go, well, I'm nervous enough for the two of us
00:49 and everybody else here that's nervous, you know.
00:53 So Becky's going to kill it.
00:55 I was going to ask, which do you like better, being a part of the performance
00:58 or getting to sit in the audience and watch someone perform this creation of yours?
01:02 I think I'd rather be in the audience. It's less nerve wracking.
01:05 You know, it's like I'm watching and I'm not going, oh my God,
01:08 what if I mess up the chord? You know, what if I fuck it all up?
01:12 You know, we're not live on anywhere, right?
01:14 You know, which is easy for me to fuck things up.
01:16 I'm not a great musician.
01:19 I always love your fashion. Do you know what you're wearing on Sunday?
01:22 Do you have it picked out?
01:23 This, someone made me a suit and I got, I have to, I don't know his name,
01:28 but that day I will know his name so I can let people know.
01:31 It's the first time I've ever had someone make me an outfit for the Oscars.
01:35 That feels like good luck, good mojo.
01:38 It could be. It's going to be, I'm going to look, the suit's going to look good.
01:42 It's really cool. It's very, it's very on brand for this.
01:47 Let's put it that way.
01:48 I love that. We can't wait to see it.
01:49 Of course, there were so many amazing movies this year.
01:52 When it comes to Best Picture on Sunday, who are you rooting for?
01:56 I don't want to say because I know different people that made different movies.
01:59 So if I say, I had my favorites.
02:02 I guess the question is then, what's one film you saw this year that you especially loved?
02:06 Doesn't have to be your favorite.
02:08 I love Flamin' Hot. I did.
02:11 And I wish, honestly, you know what? I wish it was in theaters.
02:14 It was in theaters long enough to be eligible, but that's a theater movie because,
02:18 you know, especially the Latin audience doesn't have a lot of, you know, great movies.
02:22 And you would have cheered in the theaters.
02:24 You know, it's always best to, you know, see it in a theater, not in your house.
02:29 I mean, some movies are made better for that,
02:31 but one of the ones that you could just, it's a communal experience.
