She told she wasn't going to wake up early to see if she was nominated or not.
She said: "Call me when it's over!"
"I think these things are just a big thrill ride, you know? I don't know what it is about them. Any way you go."
Other nominees include Brad Pitt for Best Supporting Actor in Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood, Leonardo DiCaprio for Best Actor in the same film, and Joaquin Phoenix for Best Actor in the Joker.
For Best Picture, only nine films were nominated this year, including fan-favorites Little Women, Joker and Marriage Story.
