Emily Blunt Was Picking Up Dog Poop When She Found Out About Her Oppenheimer Oscar Nomination
Emily Blunt earned her first Academy Award nomination for her role in the blockbuster Oppenheimer, and now we’ve learned precisely what she was doing when she found out. Blunt said on 92NY this week that she was out picking up her dog’s droppings when she got the call.
“I did have a brief cry in the middle of Brooklyn, brief weep directly after picking up my dog’s poop,” she said (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Many believed Blunt would be nominated, but the actress said she tried to not listen to the buzz because oftentimes it doesn’t amount to much. But she was nominated, and she said it was “magical” to be recognized.
