00:00The Oscar nominations are out and congratulations are in order for several of our favorite stars.
00:10Jordan Peele's Get Out is up for Best Picture and starred Daniel Kaluuya for Best Actor.
00:16Denzel Washington may nab his third Oscar for his role in Roman J. Israel Esquire and
00:21Octavia Spencer is also up for her role in The Shape of Water.
00:25But the biggest shout out has to go to the ladies of Mudbound.
00:29Director Dee Rees is up for Best Adapted Screenplay, and our girl Mary J. Blige just scored
00:34not one, but two nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song.
00:40Mary spoke with the New York Times earlier this year about how playing the character of
00:44Florence was different.
00:46Every other movie I've been in, I've seen myself.
00:49Rock of Ages, I see Mary J. Blige.
00:51Prison Song, I see Mary J. Blige.
00:53But I didn't see myself in Mudbound, which was creepy.
00:57I was like, who is that?
00:58Yeah, so mission accomplished.
01:00All right, Mary.
01:01We see you, boo.
