But one thing she didnt get that many believe she deserved was an Oscar nomination.
But the buzz wasnt enough to land Haddish among those nominated at the Golden Globes or Oscars.
That support meant the world to me, she tells EW.
Michele K. Short/Universal
I really, really appreciate it.
It validated all the hard work Ive been doing over all these years.
That said, she has much bigger priorities than some gold statue.
But at the end of the day, Im not that concerned about awards like that, she continued.
Im not really into that, Im more into the job.
Whats the next job?
If the award comes with a check, then I want that award.
But if it doesnt come with a check, then Im not that interested.
Id much rather join NASCAR and get a trophy and a check.
But I really do appreciate it.
I have been constantly bothering the studios about that, she shares.
Every time I see one of the executives, I say, When are we doingGirls Trip 2?
Hows it going to work out?
Here, I have a few ideas.
Im like writing it myself.
Im so ready forGirls Trip 2to happen.
And so is Jada and Queen Latifah and Regina, we all talk about it.
We talk to each other at least once or twice a month, like What do you think?
What about this idea?
Last year, Haddish also found success in the literary world with herNew York TimesbestsellerThe Last Black Unicorn.
The memoirs title stemmed from a slightly different and meaner nickname originally given to Haddish in elementary school.
At first, it used to really hurt my feelings.
And then, I had to stop and think, Yeah, I like unicorns.
I embraced it, so I always just thought of myself as a unicorn.
Im the black unicorn, the last black unicorn.
Im magical, Im powerful, Im strong.
I was constantly positive talking myself to be better.
Im sorry for cussing, but that is so funny to me.
These bullies sometimes are setting you up for success, you just dont realize it in the moment.
