Crews 
After receiving two nominations for the recent 75th Annual Golden Globe Awards, and earning her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week, Mary J. Blige just snagged two nominations for the 90th Annual Academy Awards.
The Queen of Hip Hop Soul earned nods for Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Song for her work in the Netflix film, ‘Mudbound,’ making her the first person nominated for acting and writing an original song in the same year. The song under nomination is for the single “Mighty River,” with Raphael Saadiq and Taura Stinson.
MJB is going up against Octavia Spencer (The Shape of Water), Allison Janney (I, Tonya), Leslie Manville (Phantom Thread), and Laurie Metcalf (Lady Bird) in the Best Supporting Actress category.
