America Ferrera FaceTimed Her ‘Sisters’ After Her Barbie Oscar Nomination

As foretold by Blake Lively, America Ferrera has now become an official Oscar nominee. Ferrera secured a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her impactful portrayal of Gloria in the Barbie movie, a role that notably included a powerful feminist monologue, stirring tears and sparking discussions.

After the exciting announcement, Ferrera shared a joyous FaceTime call with some of her "sisters," AKA former co-stars Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, and, of course, Blake Lively from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Ferrera shared a post on Instagram where she included a reenactment of the moment she learned about her first Oscar nomination, a revelation that happened while her husband, Ryan Piers Williams (who also portrayed her husband in the Barbie movie), was busy taking their children to school.

It wasn't the first time that The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants crew has gathered to celebrate America Ferrera's remarkable roles. Back in December, Tamblyn, Bledel, and Lively adorned themselves in pink for a SAG-AFTRA screening of Barbie in New York City.

Blake Lively later took to Instagram to rave about Ferrera's performance, describing her as "the heart and soul" of the Barbie movie. Lively, who has known Ferrera for 20 years, acknowledged her friend's journey and praised her authenticity on and off the screen. Continuing her tribute, Lively expressed her anticipation for Ferrera to receive awards for her outstanding work. Fans are all eagerly anticipating a third installment of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, especially as we approach the 20th anniversary of the original film in 2025. It's been eight years since Ferrera mentioned in 2016 that the project was "definitely in the works," even though it hadn't received the official green light at that time.
