This morning in Los Angeles saw the announcement of the nominations for the 2013 Oscars and one of the nominees was 9 year old Quvenzhane Wallis. In doing so she made Oscar history as she is the youngest person ever to be nominated for Best Actress. Yes, Best Actress, you go girl!!!
This little girl from Lousiana was just 5 years old when she auditioned for the lead role in the heart-rending drama, 'Beasts Of The Southern Wild', which also received writing and directing Oscar nominations for Benh Zeitin. Incredible as it sounds, this was her very first film. The film makers were obviously impressed as she beat out 4,000 other little girls to nab the pivotal part.
On viewing the film last summer I was stunned and moved by her performance which required her to dig down deep to find emotions that quite a few well known actresses would find beyond their own talent. So it was no surprise to me when I heard all those months ago Quvenzhane Wallis's performance may find her in everybody's sights come Oscar time. A major talent has arrived......
