However, she cant help but wish the film had more nominations than just her own.
On Tuesday morning, the nominations announcement came for Brooks and Brooks alone.
And here we are, however many years later, and Im the lone wolf here.

Im very humbled by it all.
Brooks said that Sofia had taught her to keep fighting, because this industry is so challenging to navigate.
I wasnt born into this thing.
I didnt have all of these mentors when I was first coming in to teach me the ropes.
And so there are moments that you really want to give up and quit.
The shoot experience has been really lovely she added, despite intense daily stunt training.
And having Coolidge around also helps.
She just seems like the coolest lady.
And the moments Ive just had recently with Jack Black too.
I just feel like the luckiest girl to learn from them.
Ive been watching their careers and stealing moments of watching how they make jokes and land things.
So its really cool to now get to be on the ground working with them.
Thats what I get to shine a light on.
This latest nomination has made Brooks an EGOT nominee.
Brooks also said she is awaiting further news of Season 2 of HBO Max seriesThe Peacemaker.
I think we should start this year, but Im not quite sure, she said.
I mean, I only follow what James Gunn writes on Twitter.
So it looks like were in a good place.
