The nominations for the 97th Academy Awards were announced Thursday by Bowen Yang and Rachel Sennott, who brought their own brand of humor to the live presentation. Rachel even managed to work in a Charli XCX shoutout.
As fans know, Sennott, known for her work in The Idol, Bottoms, Saturday Night and Bodies Bodies Bodies, was one of the stars of Charli’s video for “360,” along with other it girls and influencers like Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, Emma Chamberlain and more.
Sennott read off the nominees for best animated short film, and the last nominee on the list was a French film called Yuck! She announced it as, “Yuck! by Charli XCX.” It’s not clear if those in the audience got the joke.
So far, Charli hasn’t responded to Rachel’s joke.
