Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Heartfelt Tribute to Monica Barbaro After Oscar Nomination!

by

2025’s Oscar nominations have been announced, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Movies like “Emilia Pérez,” “Wicked,” and “The Brutalist” are leading the pack. But let me highlight a special mention – for the music biopic “A Complete Unknown,” Monica Barbaro has earned her first Oscar nomination, portraying singer Joan Baez! I couldn’t be prouder, and neither could my fellow “FUBAR” co-star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who took to social media to celebrate this incredible milestone in her career.

The Oscar-nominated film A Complete Unknown sure has a lot of iconic real-life characters that helped shape Bob Dylan’s career like Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash and more. But we can’t forget Joan Baez’s importance in the folk singer’s life collaborating as artists and lovers. Played by Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro, her performance blew The Academy away, giving the talented actress her first Oscar nomination! Arnold Schwarzenegger made sure to send his TV daughter his congratulations with a sweet tribute on his Instagram Stories below:

As a movie enthusiast, I’m overflowing with heartwarming emotions reading Arnold Schwarzenegger’s message. It’s heartening to learn that he had faith Monica Barbaro would soon be nominated for an Oscar. The father-daughter chemistry they exhibit in Netflix’s TV series FUBAR mirrors their genuine real-life bond. Seeing the Unreal actress, with tears of joy in her eyes and her head cradled in surprise at the Oscar nomination news, fills me with immense happiness for her success.

It’s not hard to picture how thrilling the news must have been for Monica Barbaro, given her performance was overlooked at the Golden Globes. Luckily, award seasons provide a platform for numerous ceremonies to acknowledge talent as it arises, and with shows like the SAG Awards and the Oscars, they couldn’t help but take notice.

Under your Netflix subscription, you can watch Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro portray a tense father-daughter pair in the series titled “FUBAR“. In this show, they are both oblivious to the fact that they work for the CIA, which forces them to team up on dangerous missions. As they grapple with the reality that they don’t truly know each other, they also strive to mend their relationship. Their on-screen partnership as secret agents is both thrilling and badass, but what makes it even more captivating is the delightful blend of comedic exchanges and emotional moments that make their interactions stand out.

It’s great news that the duo’s strong chemistry will surface once more, as the action-comedy series on Netflix is back for Season 2. After Arnold Schwarzenegger shared an amusing Instagram video following the renewal announcement, showcasing behind-the-scenes fun from the FUBAR set. Thus, it’s not surprising that he’s eager to reconnect with his Netflix TV co-stars again.

As a movie critic, I must say it was heartwarming to see Arnold Schwarzenegger express his conviction that Monica Barbaro’s Oscar nomination was well-deserved. It’s evident that the Terminator actor has recognized the raw, untamed talent she exhibits in portraying powerful women who excel under immense pressure – whether it be piloting a plane or operating covertly as a CIA agent. Don’t miss Barbaro’s Oscar-nominated performance in “A Complete Unknown” at your local cinema now. And keep an eye on your streaming schedule for the release of “FUBAR” Season 2.
