To her, its a seismic event at the level of headlining the Newport Folk Festival.

Its beyond comprehension at this point in my career, Barbaro said shortly after becoming an official nominee.

Every moment of this film has been one more completely life-changing experience on top of the next.

Im so glad you were the oil that rose above the water for this nomination.

You were such a wonderful Joan.My mind is blown.

That means the world to me, seriously.

Tell me all about your day.

I was trying not to pay attention to what time the nominations were coming out.

I was like,I dont want to overthink this.There are so many incredible female performances this year.

I was going to be happy for everybody.

And when my phone started lighting up, I was on the floor.

How do I process this?

I have no idea.

I cant feel my toes.

Youre in such a fascinatingly diverse category.

I truly dont know how you’re able to narrow these kinds of things down to five people.

The leading actress category has also been supremely competitive.

This year is stacked with excellent female performances.

It gives me so much hope for women in film.

To have my name among the final five is something I cant even wrap my head around yet.

Are you hopeful this will spur your official first meeting with Joan?I hope so.

Physically, weve never been together.

We talked on the phone while I was in production, and weve been recently texting.

Were texting because Im trying to make it tothisbenefit concert shes having next month in San Francisco.

Its a retrospective on her amazing career.

Where are my Sky Miles?Shes so cool and grounded about all of this.

I think that would be my pinnacle, pie-in-the-sky moment to share with Joan.

What do we do for the rest of the day?

I dont know and I dont care.

If I could dance in a drum circle with Joan, Id die right there.

I have continued to force people to let me be barefoot in their homes in any situation.

Im a person who gets absolutely terrified and leans into challenges that are presented to me.

Thanks for that; I think that will haunt my dreams tonight.

That would be another absolutely life-changing idea.

Having that as a life moment, I had full-blown tears.

Im so lucky to have dabbled in the life of a musician, even just for a moment.

I respect performing musicians more than I ever have before, which was already a lot.

So I wont take that performance suggestion lightly.

I would be happy to know its happening if it did.

Do you have any theories as to what Timmywill performonSaturday Night Live?I have none!

Its not his first rodeo onSNL,but this is going to be a special one, for sure.
