"Re-enactment for @ryanpierswiilliams of when I got the news that I'm Academy Award nominated!!!!!!" Ferrera wrote in the caption of the post. "He was taking the kids to school so I was at home alone but he insisted on a re-do 😂."
"I'm still processing," she added. "Needless to say -- wow! What a thing! Childhood dream realized. 😭🤯 Thank you @theacademy @barbiethemovie and the Queens Greta and Margot who we all know deserve everything for what they gifted the world! 💖"
