Selena Gomez has entered the Oscars chat, y’all! The buzz around her new movie Emilia Pérez is louder than the popcorn machine at a sold-out matinee, and Selena is already feeling the heat—literally.
Here’s the tea: The Hollywood Reporter is out here manifesting Oscar noms like it’s their side hustle. They’re betting big on Emilia Pérez snagging nominations for Best Picture, Best Director (shoutout to Jacques!), Best Actress (for Karla Sofía Gascón), Best Supporting Actress (hey Zoe Saldana, we see you!), and yep—possibly Selena herself! Not to mention nods for Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature. Basically, this movie is collecting categories like Pokémon cards.
When asked about all this Oscar buzz, Selena gave the most relatable reaction: “I have hives.” (Awards season stress hits different.) But being the queen she is, she quickly followed that up with, “It’s a compliment…” Because who doesn’t love a little emotional whiplash between a skin rash and a glowing review?
Selena continued, “We’re just so thrilled that people are receiving it with an open heart and open mind.” She added, “Hopefully, it will leave an imprint.” (Preferably not in the shape of those hives, though.)
If you’re dying to see what all the fuss is about, mark your calendars: November 1 is the theatrical release, and November 13 is when it lands on Netflix. So you can either go fancy at the theater or watch it in your pajamas—either way, Oscars night might just be a Gomez Glow-Up!
Will Selena snag an Oscar? Or will the real award be finding a lotion that cures stress-induced hives? Only time will tell.
