But when THR asked her about the nomination, she slipped in a little secret. She explained that there is a special nominees dinner by the Academy Awards, which she has refused to attend. Why? It “starts at 7:30, and I have declined,” revealed the actress. She acknowledged how it may seem confusing, but “Mommy goes to bed early,” she explained in her own hilarious way. The actress calculated how the event’s dinner will not actually start till 9 pm, which will be way past her scheduled time.
