Asa feels the nomination helps validate and solidify her career. "It's such a blessing and I'm so humbled," she shares. "People saw me last week and my mom was like 'What the hell is this, Persian pop priestess. Go get a PhD.' I've been working really hard for years at doing what I do and it's incredible that some things are coming to fruition. Whether we get nominated or not, this is incredible to me."

As for what she'll do with an Oscar if she wins, it will be prominently featured in her studio. "My Oscar is going to go directly in my art studio. And you know it's gold, and you know my thing with gold. I might try to make a necklace out of it for a while."
