9-Year-Old Is Youngest Best Actress Nominee Ever Quvenzhané Wallis just made history. With the announcement of the nominees for the 85th annual Academy Awards this morning, (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/08/oscars-nominations-2013_n_2435207.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment) the Louisiana-born Wallis, just 9 years old, is now the youngest ever nominee for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Wallis, who was just 5 when she auditioned for the role in "Beasts of the Southern Wild," (http://www.deadline.com/2012/11/oscars-interview-quvenzhane-wallis/) has received major recognition and critical acclaim for her portrayal of the character Hushpuppy. She beat out former record-holder Keisha Castle-Hughes, who was nominated in the Best Actress category for "Whale Rider" at age 13. (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/records-3000/youngest-oscar-nominee-for-best-actress/) Wallis is up against Jessica Chastain for "Zero Dark Thirty," Jennifer Lawrence for "Siver Linings Playbook," Naomi Watts for "The Impossible" and Emmanuelle Riva for "Amour." In an interesting twist, Riva, at age 85, is now the oldest nominee for Best Actress in a Leading Role. (Riva will turn 86 on Feb. 24, which is Oscar night.) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/10/quvenzhane-wallis-oscars-best-actress_n_2446855.html?utm_hp_ref=entertainment

Good for her. Haven't seen any of the nominees in their movies to say who I'd vote for.



(BTW, it's great you're helping us out by counting, but could you also add a date, like "T3 for 2/13/2013"? :-) )
