Aubrey Plaza wants to know if the president of the United States has watched her 2022 movie, "Emily the Criminal."

In an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," Fallon told Plaza how "incredible" the feature film was and added that it's being nominated "everywhere," including Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations for Best Lead Performance and Best First Feature.

But, perhaps, the most notable award "Emily the Criminal" has thus far won is a spot on former President Barack Obama's list of favorite movies of 2022.

"In fact, look at this," Fallon said, pulling up a photo graphic of Obama's list with Plaza's film highlighted. "Barack Obama's favorite movies of 2022."

"I know!" Plaza, who produced and starred in "Emily the Criminal," responded excitedly. "We got Obama!"

"How great is this?" Fallon asked, to which Plaza responded, "I don't know."

Plaza really wanted to know, though, whether President Joe Biden had watched her film.

"I wonder if Joe Biden watched it," Plaza asked.

Fallon decided that "yes, he probably saw it, too," while he and Plaza cheered on Biden ("come on, Joe!") to watch the movie.

"Come on, dude," Fallon said playfully. "Just say you liked 'Emily the Criminal.'"
