The 'Boyhood' star and her boyfriend Eric White were at a restaurant when the full realisation of her nomination hit her and Arquette asked someone to Google it, reported People.
"It was so surreal... I really felt like I was in a weird dream. I don't know how I'm going to feel (at the Oscars). I hope I don't faint!
"My boyfriend went to the bathroom and I seem to have woken up while he left. I grabbed this kid next to me and was like, 'I got nominated! For an Academy Award!' He looked at me and was like, 'No, you didn't?' And I was like 'I know! Can you believe it? Google it, let's check it.' "
Arquette, 46, has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role of a single mother trying to raise two kids in Richard Linklater's coming-of-age drama 'Boyhood' that took 12-years to complete.
