'Honor of a lifetime': Michelle Williams reveals what 5th Oscar nomination means to her after ‘The Fabelmans’ nod
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Michelle Williams spoke about her most recent nomination at the Oscars and her earliest impressions of the prestigious film award show in history. As movie buffs from all around the world await the grand celebration of cinema from around the globe, here’s what the ‘Blue Valentine’ star said, "My first memory of the Oscars is, and I don't know what year it was so I don't know if I saw it in person or I saw a clip, but I remember that Marlon Brando had Sacheen Littlefeather accept his award. I thought, 'Wow, this is a place that can be political. It seems very glamorous but it also seems like a place that can have a purpose."
The five-time Oscar-nominated actress is yet again nominated for the Best Actress in Spielberg’s 'The Fabelmans' last month and tells what was her first reaction. "I was at home. It was a school morning so I was getting the kids ready to go and then got the news and took a little break lying down on the floor," the mother of three remembers. "And then I got back up, and got everybody out."

'My gosh, it means so much to me'
The 42-year-old continued, "My gosh, it means so much to me. It means so much to me to have been asked to make this movie with Steven Spielberg, and to play his mother, who he loved very, very much. It's beyond a dream come true. It's really like the honor of a lifetime. So to take this movie here, and to take this character here, this woman, this real woman, who he loved so much that he wanted to make a movie about her so that she could live forever, to take her on this journey here is really meaningful," as per People.
