According to The New York Times, The Daniels watched the nominations with Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan on a video call, continuously celebrating as the film earned the most nominations of the year.
“It was so loud, we could barely hear what anyone was saying,” Quan told the outlet. “I was jumping up and down, screaming at the top of my voice, exactly the same way that I did when I got the phone call from my agent that the Daniels wanted me to play Waymond…It’s so surreal. I am ecstatic.”
Both Yeoh and Quan recently won awards in their respective categories at the Golden Globes earlier this year. Who are you rooting for at the Oscars this year? Tell us in the comments!
