Buckle up, Brie Larson—you're headed for one crazy fun-filled and very busy award season.

Her latest nomination? She picked up a Golden Globe nom this morning for her work in the indie drama Room.

"I feel like I'm a kid getting a ticket into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory," Larson tells me.

She won't be taking any vacations for awhile. Even so, she said, "I'm just focused on the holidays right now. I'm really excited to go home and celebrate the holidays. I'm super into jigsaw puzzles right not. I find them very relaxing."

Really?

"I'm doing one now of Disney princesses," Larson said. "They help me stay relaxed."

This won't be Larson's first time at the Globes. A couple of years ago she went as a neighbor's plus-one. "She's like 80-something. She wanted to get there early to get a good parking space," Larson remembered. "We got there so early they weren't really set up yet."

The 2016 Golden Globes will be a lot different.

Larson laughed, "I don't have to worry about a parking space this time."
