Roberts Awakes To Oscar Nomination The Associated Press The phone call woke her from a sound sleep. But Julia Roberts was ``quite happy'' to hear the news from boyfriend Benjamin Bratt that she'd been nominated for a best-actress Oscar for ``Erin Brockovich.'' ``It's a nice call to get when you're sound asleep,'' Roberts said. ``I had only just gone to sleep, just gotten quite asleep when the phone rang. Benjamin won the `fast finger dial' on that one and got to tell me the good news.'' The other best-actress nominees are Joan Allen, ``The Contender''; Juliette Binoche, ``Chocolat''; Ellen Burstyn, ``Requiem for a Dream''; and Laura Linney, ``You Can Count on Me.'' ``This is just my happy time,'' Roberts said. ``I got nominated for an Oscar! That's thrilling! I couldn't be happier.'' In the March 9 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Roberts said what she loves is that she ``will forever be on that list with those gals. 'Til the end of time. I. Will. Always. Be. On. That. List.''
