Just as Brie Larson was coming down from the high of her best actress win at the Golden Globes [1] on Sunday, the Room star heard the exciting news on Thursday morning that she'd been nominated for an Oscar for best actress [2]. Brie, whose emotional role as a mom raising her son while being held captive by her abusive kidnapper has earned her nonstop buzz [3] since the film's premiere, called in to the Today show [4] shortly after the nominees were announced to relay her excitement. "I am feeling incredible . . . I can't even believe it," she said. "I am just sitting here in complete and utter shock over all of this. I feel like I'm in a very bizarre Alice in Wonderland dream right now."
She also added that the nomination itself is "so cool," saying, "I feel like I get to join this cool club of people that I love." The actress is currently in Australia shooting Kong: Skull Island, so regardless of whether she wins or loses at the Oscars, the world will be seeing plenty more of her.
