Anna is up for an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actress category, but she was too antsy to even watch the nominations. She added, "I was too nervous to sit and watch the nominations, so I went for a run at five in the morning. I just waited for my roommate to text me. And then it was actually really nice because I was sort of alone in the dark. I kind of wanted to shout, but I didn't want to wake everyone up at 5:30 in the morning."

And for the biggest decision, the Oscars dress? Kendrick has her custom-made gown all figured out already, but she's mum on the topic. She said, "I'm not allowed to talk about what I wear, but I'm going to try it on in a few days and it's beautiful. I'm really excited about it. It's a designer that I've worn [before]."
