Eva Longoria congratulated Dianne Warren and Becky G on Tuesday after their song “The Fire Inside” was nominated for an Oscar.
The 48-year-old actress took to her Instagram Stories to toast the “great” musicians with a glass of tequila.
“The Fire Inside” was written by Dianne, 67, and sung by Becky, 26, for Eva's feature film debut Flamin' Hot.
The biographical comedy-drama tells the inspiring story of a janitor who revolutionized the food industry by using his Mexican-American heritage to transform Flamin' Hot Cheetos from a snack into an iconic global pop culture phenomenon.
Eva proudly filmed herself in her modern kitchen, pouring herself a glass of her own tequila, Casa Del Sol, and holding it out to Dianne and Becky.

Captioning the snaps, she wrote: “Guys!! “The Fire Inside” is officially nominated for Best Original Song at this year’s Oscars.
“What an honor it was to have the genius @dianewarren write such a powerful song that sums up our film so perfectly!” And thank you @iambeckyg for adding fire to this song❤️'
