Florence received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Amy March in Little Women.

If you haven't been keeping up with Florence Pugh on social media, honey, where have you been!? The Little Women actress' posts are iconic and if you need any proof, just check out her video performing surgery on a cactus named Barry.

She's not just great at social media, though, Florence is killing the acting game right now. The rising star has delivered some exceptional performances in recent months and, unsurprisingly, she's collecting award nominations left, right and centre.

On Monday (13 Jan), the Oscar nominations were announced and Florence was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her portrayal of Amy March in Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women. Florence is up against the likes of Laura Dern (Marriage Story), Scarlett Johansson (Jojo Rabbit), Margot Robbie (Bombshell) and Kathy Bates (Richard Jewell).

Naturally, Florence headed over to Instagram to share her reaction to the moment.

In one image, Florence is on the phone wrapped in a bedsheet. The next shows her screaming at her phone with excitement after hearing the news. The excitement meant that she dropped the bedsheet though, leaving her topless. However, that's nothing some strategically placed avocado emoji's can't fix, right?

"Before the moment…the exact moment," she captioned the photos, alongside the hashtags "nominated" and "for a fucking Oscar!!!!!".

In an interview with Extra, Florence expressed her feelings following her Oscar nomination. She also revealed that she was in bed (without her pyjamas on – she's not a big fan) at 5:30am when her agent rang and broke the news. "I was on the phone and then I turned it round to speaker because I wanted to just take it all in and obviously I was literally in bed," she said. "There you go, I just woke up."

The interviewer then commented on her choice of using avocados to censor her chest, and Florence replied: "Yep, keeping it real."
