00:00Is this just old hat for you at this point? Another Oscars?
00:02No, it's never old hat. It's always new hat. I love it.
00:06I'm honestly grateful just to be a part of it.
00:09It's the 15th time and it could be my first time.
00:12I mean, I stay up all night waiting for the nominations.
00:15I just am hearing my song, the name of my song. I already won.
00:20When you learned that this song from Flamin' Hot was nominated,
00:23your 15th nomination, what was your reaction?
00:25Just jump up and down, screaming. Yeah.
00:30Now, what can we expect from the performance on Sunday?
00:33I was at the rehearsal today. It's going to be amazing. It's going to be amazing.
00:36Are you going to be on stage at all?
00:37No, not this. I was last year with Sophia Carson.
00:41And that was, I was so nervous. She wasn't nervous last year.
00:45We're standing there about to go on. I go, are you nervous?
00:46She goes, no. I go, well, I'm nervous enough for the two of us
00:49and everybody else here that's nervous.
00:53So Becky's going to kill it.
00:56I was going to ask, which do you like better, being a part of the performance
00:58or getting to sit in the audience and watch someone perform this creation of yours?
01:02I think I'd rather be in the audience. It's less nerve-wracking.
01:05You know, it's like, if I'm watching it, I'm not going, oh my God, what if I mess up the chord?
01:09You know, what if I fuck it all up?
01:12You know, we're not live on anywhere, right?
01:14You know, which is easy for me to fuck things up.
01:16I'm not a great musician.
01:19I always love your fashion. Do you know what you're wearing on Sunday?
01:22Do you have it picked out?
01:23This, um, um, someone made me a suit and I got, I have to, I don't know his name,
01:28but that day I will know his name so I can let people know.
01:31It's the first time I've ever had someone make me an outfit for the Oscars.
01:35That feels like good luck, good mojo.
01:38It could be. It's going to be, well, I'm going to look, the suit's going to look good.
01:42It's really cool. It's very, um, it's very on brand for this.
01:47Let's put it that way.
01:48I love that. We can't wait to see it.
01:49Of course, there were so many amazing movies this year.
01:52When it comes to Best Picture on Sunday, who are you rooting for?
01:55I don't want to say because I know different people that made different movies.
01:59So if I say, I had my favorites.
02:02I guess the question is then, what's one film you saw this year that you especially love?
02:06It doesn't have to be your favorite.
02:08I love Flamin' Hot. I did.
02:11And I wish, honestly, you know what, I wish it was in theaters.
02:14It was in theaters long enough to be eligible, but that's a theater movie.
02:17Because, you know, especially the Latin audience doesn't have a lot of, you know,
02:21of great movies, and you would have cheered in the theaters.
02:24You know, it's always best to, you know, see it in a theater, not in your house.
02:29I mean, some movies are made better for that,
02:31but one of the ones that you could just, it's a communal experience.
02:35Thanks.
