\"But she's my grandma. She saves all of my magazine clippings and covers. She loved the film. I think she's seen it a few times,\" the actress said. \"I was a little concerned, but she went and saw it herself and then called me and said she loved it and I was like, 'Oh, thank god!'\"
Madison said she was having a \"very sweet and low key\" FaceTime with her family watching the Oscars nomination ceremony when she heard her name listed as a nominee alongside the likes of Cynthia Erivo for \"Wicked,\" Karla Sofía Gascón for \"Emilia Pérez,\" Demi Moore for \"The Substance\" and Fernanda Torres for \"I'm Still Here.\"

\"It's not a competition. We've all already won. I think it's just a celebration from here on out. It's a celebration of film,\" she said of the best actress race. \"I don't think there's such a thing as best performance, you know? That's hard for me to wrap my mind around. I think it's just, I don't know, recognizing something really special in everybody.\"
Madison said a highlight of her Oscars journey so far has been being able to connect with her fellow nominees.
\"That's really important to me, my relationships and friendships with other women,\" she said. \"That's been one of the best parts of all of this, is just being able to get to know everyone and witness their talent and kindness in person.\"
\"GMA\" previously caught up with Madison at the 2025 National Board of Review Gala last month, where she said her role in \"Anora\" changed her life \"in so many ways.\"

\"I think it really evolved the way that I work as an artist and how I want to approach future projects or characters in the future. I think I learned a lot about myself, personally, making this film,\" she said at the time. \"Also, I've gotten the opportunity to have this amazing adventure that has come with the release of the film. I'm very grateful for all of it.\"
The 2025 Oscars will take place Sunday, March 2, at 7 p.m. ET and will air live on ABC and streaming live on Hulu.
