Lil Rel Howery appeared on Vulture's Into It podcast Thursday, where he played a game of "Into It/Not Into It"
"Somebody else should have got bumped," Howery said of the nominees for Best Actress in a Leading Role. "I'm not going to say anything," Howery said when asked who should have gotten bumped, "but it's a movie nominated as a Razzie. That doesn't make sense to me."
Later, Howery and host Sam Sanders got specific and named de Armas. "It's just... and that's somebody I did film with," Howery said. "I did Deep Water with her, with Ben Affleck. Amazing. I'm just talking about the Academy. What are y'all doing? Come on, fam. For real?"
“Blonde” is nominated for multiple Razzies (eight nominations, including for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screen Couple, and Worst Screenplay) and landed a Best Actress Oscar nod.
