\n\tOn Wednesday morning, Marty Supreme<\/a>\u2018s Odessa A\u2019zion awoke to the news she had received an Actors Award nomination<\/a> \u2014 a turn of events that seemed to actually shock her.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhat the hell?\u201d she told Deadline shortly after the announcement. \u201cMy brain is still loading because I just woke up.\u201d She also said that her Marty co-star Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet<\/a> had already called to congratulate her. \u201cI just talked to Timoth\u00e9e for a second and it\u2019s crazy. I don\u2019t even know what to say or think,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was just like, \u2018Congratulations. We did it.\u2019 Just a bunch of nice things, and it\u2019s so exciting to be nominated together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn Josh Safdie<\/a>\u2018s film Marty Supreme, A\u2019zion plays Rachel Mizler, on-off lover of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s ping-pong champion character Marty Mauser.<\/p>\n

\n\tA\u2019zion, who also recently appeared in Season 1 of Rachel Sennott\u2019s TV comedy I Love LA<\/a>, has become something of a phenomenon already. So much so, that there is much online chatter about her hair. In an interview she gave to Deadline on the Critics Choice red carpet this past Sunday she addressed the chatter about whether or not her hair was a wig. \u201cThere\u2019s a whole debate, \u2018Is it a wig? Is it not?\u2019 I guess we\u2019ll never know. No\u2026I\u2019m kidding,\u201d she\u2019d said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat interview went viral. At the time of writing, it had reached 10.8M views on Deadline\u2019s X account and 5.5M on Deadline\u2019s TikTok.<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Wednesday, in response to that viral craziness, A\u2019zion said, \u201cI didn\u2019t know that there was such a stigma behind wigs in particular.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the original interview, she had said that as an up-and-coming actor who just started landing significant roles, she was trying to save her money and could not afford to buy her own high-end wig. Online commenters lambasted her about this claim. But on Wednesday A\u2019zion stood by what she said: \u201cI talked about money, but then I don\u2019t think that people realize that for a large majority of your career, you\u2019re not making a lot of money. It\u2019s not going too crazy, but knock on wood, there will be some changes. But that\u2019s just what I meant when I said I\u2019m trying to save my funds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe also reiterated that her hair at the Marty premiere in LA was a wig, and that for the New York premiere it was natural. \u201cThe New York [premiere] was my hair that I took literally five hours to do,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone thought it was a wig. And I\u2019m like, \u2018Guys, can I get a little credit here?\u2019 I didn\u2019t just put this on. This took me a hot minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked whether she\u2019s been inundated with offers for great roles in the wake of this new success, A\u2019zion said, \u201cYou know what? I have not been getting a ton of offers. I think a big part of it too is honestly, there\u2019s not a whole lot of leading or supporting juicy roles for women still \u2014 to be real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHer dream would be to continue working on roles like her Marty Supreme character. \u201cI really, really like playing roles like Rachel. She was such a dream role. I just thought she was so smart and calculated, and then she got to erupt\u2026 I like screaming, I like crying, I like going through real f\u2013ked up shit. That\u2019s what\u2019s fun to me. I don\u2019t like playing characters that are just the one who steers the story and is kind of the straight man of it. It\u2019s just a little boring to me. I would rather play a b-line character that\u2019s barely in the movie, that has a f\u2013king awesome plotline and is doing crazy s\u2013t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSpeaking of high-drama characters, A\u2019zion says she also loves playing her \u201ccrazy girl\u201d character of Talluluah in I Love LA. As for when Season 2 will begin shooting, she says, \u201cI think late summer is what I\u2019ve been told.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Wednesday morning, Marty Supreme\u2018s Odessa A\u2019zion awoke to the news she had received an Actors Award nomination…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[49,48,75,60400,43423,43424,142779,44487],"class_list":["post-395949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-i-love-la","tag-josh-safdie","tag-marty-supreme","tag-odessa-au2019zion","tag-timothu00e9e-chalamet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
