Amandla Stenberg is pretty “nervous” ahead of presenting the award for Best Picture at the Oscars.
The actress is the youngest person in Academy history to present the honor, and while on the red carpet Sunday she dished about being invited to the event and being given the opportunity to present.

“It makes me feel very honored,” she told Entertainment Tonight, “very, very honored and like I’m being welcomed into a community of people I really respect. That is a huge honor to even be able to be in this space at this point in my life.”
Stenberg, who was accompanied by her mom, also said she was “nervous” ahead of presenting.
This year’s nominees for Best Picture include Black Panther, BlacKkKlansman, The Favourite, Bohemian Rhapsody, Roma, A Star Is Born, Green Book, and Vice.
