The nominations for the 2013 Academy Awards were revealed this morning.
While there weren’t too many surprises, the one shocker is the Best Actress nomination for the 8-year-old actress Quvenzhané Wallis, who made waves in the critically-acclaimed indie film “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” Wallis becomes the youngest person ever to be nominated in a major category.
Naturally, Denzel Washington received a nod in the Best Actor slot for his riveting role in “Flight.” In addition, Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” received a Best Picture nomination alongside “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” “Argo,” and “Lincoln.”
We can’t wait to see if Denzel Washington, Quvenzhané Wallis, and “Beasts of the Southern Wild” director Benh Zeitlin will walk away with trophies!
