Five head strung actress who all play different roles that have certainly made an impact in the cinema world. Each come from diverse backgrounds and some from rather extensive acting background. This year, the Oscars see some very interesting Best Actress nominations and the race to the trophy is going to be tough. So while we sit and wait to see which of these five women will take home the golden man, here's a little background you might find interesting on each of the nominees. Jessica Chastain Some of Jessica's earlier work include TV shows ER and Veronica Mars. When she ventured to the big screen, she took on several stand out roles in movies such as The Help, Lawless, and Zero Dark Thirty which she is nominated for. Jessica, who graduated from the Julliard School in New York, made her feature film debut in 2008 in the independent film Jolene, a movie about an orphan who spends 10 years traveling cross-country experiencing life, love and heartbreak. Not only is she a talented actress, Time magazine featured her in the list of the 100 Most Influential People In The World. This actress is a huge animal lover and a vegan. She is an avid PETA supporter and was recognized by the organization in 2012 as "PETA's 2012 Sexiest Vegetarian." She is also experienced in the self-defense technique of Krav Maga, after taking it up for her role in the movie The Debt. Naomi Watts Naomi is no stranger to the big screen. She began her acting career when she was 23 years old in the teen romance, Flirting (1991). She gained critical acclaim for her work in David Lynch's 2001 psychological thriller Mulholland Drive where she played two characters Betty Elms and Diane Selwyn who ventured beyond dreams and reality throughout the movie. Naomi certainly has an impressive resume with a previous Oscar nomination for the 2004 crime thriller, 21 Grams. This year, she's nominated for her role in The Impossible in which she starred alongside Ewan McGregor. Jennifer Lawrence This Kentucky-born lass began her career as a teenager appearing in TV shows like Monk. She has also shared the big screen with Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron in the critically acclaimed film The Burning Plain in 2008. Lawrence made waves in Hollywood with her portrayal as the daughter of a troubled mother in 2010's Winter's Bone, which garnered her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Most recently, Jennifer starred in the box-office hit, The Hunger Game. Jennifer, nominated for her role as Tiffany in the Oscar-nominated movie Silver Linings Playbook, is currently working on the sequel to The Hunger Games, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Emmanuelle Riva In Amour, French actress Emmanuelle Riva plays a woman who is loved and cared for by her partner after she suffers a stroke. The Oscar nomination this year makes her the oldest actress to be nominated in this category. She turns 86 on Oscar week. Emmanuelle first made her debut in the 1959 Alain Resnais French/Japanese romantic movie, Hiroshima, Mon Amour. In the '70s and '80s she worked mostly on stage. Emmanuelle's role in Amour is said to be her greatest achievement in the film industry. But the humble actress is still surprised at the accolades she's been receiving. "I feel like i'm in a sort of a fairy tale," she tells USA Today. "I didn't expect such success. I'm just living my life by the moment." Quvenzhané Wallis Nine-year-old Quvenzhane is the Academy's youngest Oscar nominee. In fact, the young actress had no idea who Oscar was until very recently. Quvenzhane is nominated for her portayal of Hushpuppy, the main character in Beast Of The Southern Wild. In fact, Hollywood might not have gotten to know this youngster from Louisiana had she not lied about her age when auditioning for her role. The producers and director was looking for a six-year-old to play the title character, so Quvenchane lied about her age. But her acting chops beat out the other 4,000 contenders. |
