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

America Ferrera’s Oscar Nomination

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.

A Pink-Clad Celebration

It wasn’t the first time that TheSisterhood 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.

While Ferrera and Ryan Gosling shared their disappointment over Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s snubs, Ferrera’s accomplishment is undoubtedly a reason for joy.

Anticipating the Third Installment

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.
