Florence Pugh received her first ever Oscar nomination for her critically acclaimed performance as Amy March in the Greta Gerwig-directed Little Women and the 24-year-old actress reacted to the news in the most hilarious way.

They're not all bad, promise!
The 2020 Academy Award nominations are out today, and amongst all the movie news was one surprising snub in the music categories. Beyoncé was nowhere to be found on the list with her fan-favorite track, “Spirit,” from The Lion King.
So many women were snubbed by the Academy when the were announced on Monday morning, you could slot their names into a parody of Mambo No. 5 and still have room to cast several reboots of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.Seriously, this year's nominations take to a whole new level.
Joker led the nominations for the 92nd annual Academy Awards with a total 11 nods.
