From 'Mean Girls' to 'Mank,' Amanda Seyfried has definitely earned her place on Hollywood's A-list. Now she's getting recognized by the best in the business, finally walking the red carpet as an Academy Award nominee.
It's a huge deal! So what do the days leading up to Amanda's big moment look like? How is she preparing for her time on the most prestigious stage of all? As it turns out, she's been laid back at home, showing fans a series of meaningful objects on IG. Here's what they are:
A Picture of Marion Davies
Those who watched 'Mank' will understand this one. Marion Davies is the character Amanda plays, a real life woman who worked in Hollywood in the 1930s. The film features her experience as an actress interacting with her boss, screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz (played by Gary Oldman), as he rushes to complete the now iconic movie 'Citizen Kane.'
Catch the trailer for 'Mank' right here:
Amanda has been open about her love of Marion Davies as a legend of 'golden age' Hollywood.
"She’s effortless," Amanda told reporters at Den Of Geek. "She is immensely watchable, really funny, and clearly for me, [a] really talented comedian. She’s got the timing all right. She’s like Goldie Hawn. She’s fantastic, and I don’t think she got the respect that she deserved."
Here's hoping that Amanda's own portrayal of the actress gets Marion some overdue credit in her own right. An Oscar nod would help!
A Fake Oscar Trophy
This one's a bit harder to figure out. Amanda shared it less than 24 hours before the Oscars were set to begin, along with the caption "Everybody wins!"
Maybe it's keeping her humble? It features a bronzed dude sitting on a toilet with a cracked prize in one hand and his head in the other, while a small, typo-filled plaque reads "Best Supporting Actress, Amanda Seefreed, 'Mink.'"
She tagged her actor husband (Thomas Sadoski) in the photo, but it's unclear whether he made the trophy, bought the trophy from some other artist, or just happens to look like the trophy in Amanda's eyes. We hope it's not the last one. Dude is very cute!
A Custom Cookie
The last post in Amanda's lead up to The Oscars is this sweet shot of her showing off one of the cool 'Mank'-themed treats currently being sold by her friend Emily Yetter at Lil Em's Cookies. Seems like a pretty good way to celebrate what Emily calls "a gem of a human"!
Emily's own socials are full of posts to hype up her Oscar-nominated friend, like these ones shared to her IG Stories:
With all this love on her side, we bet the night has some great things in store for Amanda. Get it, girl!
