Awkwafina was basking in the glow of her first ever Golden Globe award nomination at the "Jumanji: The Next Level" world premiere Monday.
The actress, real name Nora Lum, has been deluged with praise— along with the oddest kudos text she has received since the Monday morning announcement.
"The most unusual congratulations was my aunt texting me, telling me I should eat less grains. I really like ancient grains and she had read an article about grains," said Awkwafina from the red carpet. "And on the back of that (information), she gave me, 'Oh yeah, congratulations!' "

The comedian/actress admitted it's all been like a "surreal" dream since she found about the best actress in a comedy nomination news for her poignant role in Lulu Wang’s "The Farewell" (also nominated for best foreign film).
Awkwafina insists she had slept through the early morning announcements and only found out from the calls afterwards.
"I really didn't know (the nominations) were this morning," she said. "And I ate Korean barbecue last night. A lot of Korean barbecue."
She recovered enough to send out a statement Monday saying she was "beyond grateful."
"I grew up watching the Golden Globes every year, cheering for my favorite films and actors. It is surreal that I now get to go!" she wrote. "Wait, I do get to go right?"
By Monday evening she was a little more mentally recovered, walking the red carpet for the "Jumanji" sequel in which she plays a thief video game character.
"I'm going for the ride," she said of the awards run. "It's just a lot of fun."
