New media darling Quvenzhané Wallis is on the cover of Entertainment Weekly‘s special “Oscar” issue.
The Beasts of the Southern Wild’s breakout star who is nominated for The Academy’s “Best Actress” award at the tender age of nine — which makes her the youngest ever
to receive such an honor — enjoys engaging folks who want to feel some
of the positive, youthful energy apparent in her toothy smile and
radiant glow.
Here is what Black Celebrity Kids had to say about young Quvenzhané’s honors:
Her
performance has left viewers from the Cannes to the Sundance Film
Festivals in love with her portrayal of the lead role Hushpuppy, so much
so that she has since won awards such as breakthrough performance from
the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala to winning Best Young
Actor/Actress at the Critic’s Choice Movie Awards. Now the young actress
has made Academy Award history as the youngest person ever to be
nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Quvenzhane is not ready to
rest on her current success, having already landed her next role in the
upcoming film, Twelve Years A Slave.”
Can’t help but enjoy her accession …
