Singer-actor Justin Timberlake is "really humbled" by his very first Oscar nomination, for the upcoming 89th Academy Awards. The 35-year-old is nominated in the Best Song category for his track Can't Stop the Feeling, which was featured in the animated comedy Trolls.
"I'm really humbled by the whole thing. I think most of all, I was excited the whole year that people responded to the song," Timberlake told deadline.com.

"Now, more than ever, we need something that puts a kick in someone's step and unites us through a good feeling. I think that is what I was always most happy about... that the song gives people a good feeling. For the Academy to recognise this song? Wow. Yeah, I'm pinching myself," he added.
The Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday, while the actual ceremony will take place in Los Angeles on February 26.
