Meet The Youngest Ever Best Actress Oscar Nominee :) by ijebabe: 8:35pm On Jan 11, 2013
In the film Beasts Of The Southern Wild, 9 year old Quvenzhané Wallis’s character Hushpuppy lives on a forgotten island without modern technology.

But it was a different story on Thursday night when the young actress accepted the Critics’ Choice Award for Best Young Actor/ Actress, and read her speech from her smartphone.

With a cute smile on her face, Quvenzhané (pronounced Kwe-ven-zhah-nay) charmed the audience at the Santa Monica event and the millions watching at home.

The nine-year old received her award from Superman star Henry Cavill and Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev, but unlike most winners at these type of events, kept her speech short and sweet.

‘First I would like to thank God for all my blessings,’Quvenzhané read from her smartphone. ‘I would also like to thank the film critic’s for this award.’

‘Thanks to Mr. Benh Zeitlin and the Court 13 family for thinking I could make a good Hushpuppy.

‘Lastly, to my family, friends and fans—good night!’, she finished to heartfelt applause.

I love her unique name. Hope she doesn't go the way of most Hollwood child stars. I think Anna Pacquin still holds the record for the younest winner.

Hmm, passed up on downloading the movie when I first saw it online late last year but seeing that Oscar nomination thread and this one last night, I immediately downloaded it. . .yet to watch it sha.

Checked IMDB and it has a rating of 7.5 but I still can't help feeling the movie is dry undecided Maybe it's cos of the dull movie jacket and the somewhat uninteresting synopsis

Well, IMDB ratings have misled me many times but I'll watch it and form my opinion of the movie and the girl's acting

Atleast her dressing looks decent unlike the bigger ones who wears long gowns that sweeps the floor and shows their boo.bs. Then take their children to Church every Sunday to teach them that people who show their bodies to public go to hell when they die.

And how exactly is THAT jacket dull? With the color riot wey dey there, wetin else you dey find?

Anyway, it's a known fact she won't win the oscar sha. That award is reserved Bradley Cooper's co-star in 'Silver Linings Playbook' - don't say I told you sha wink

By the way, I'm shocked to the marrows The Dark Knight Rises didn't recieve a SINGLE nomination! Not even for "Best Sound"! Choi!! shocked grin

Oh, and Leonardo DiCaprio was snubbed again!!! This time, for his role in Django.

Mehn, this whole thing sucks asss! sad
