Quvenzhane Wallis the 9-year-old Oscar-nominated actress from the film Beasts of a Southern Wild this morning, 10th january 2012 Quvenzhane made history for being the youngest actress nominated for an Oscar! By the way, her name is pronounced, (Kwa Ven Zha Nay!).
Her Interview:
Thanks to GlobalGrind.com, read her story below.
Despite her unusual name, she's a normal little girl who hates her brothers, "but I love them too."
Quvenzhane has big dreams, so big that she plans on directing a movie called Fat Kids Don't Get Gifts On Christmas before she turns 12. No word on what the flick would be about yet, but judging by the title alone, we'll be lining up to see that one when it comes out!
Nazy is also a foodie. While filming the movie Beasts in Louisiana, she found a new favorite food: "The crawfish. The crawfish was the most tastiest thing I ever ate."
For this 9-year-old actress, the best part of filming was when the seafood came. Whenever it was time to chomp on crabs or any other seafood, she perked up!
The filmmakers wanted to make sure the young actress vibed with her onscreen father, but she tells the story of how she "fired numerous candidates to play Wink," but the one who won the role of her father won over Quvenzhane with a bag full of sweets. Figures, since the actor Dwight Henry owns a bakery from a place across the street where they filmed!
Quvenzhane has a bunch of favorite places in her hometown of Houma, Louisiana - just like any regular kid, she loves Chuck E. Cheese and the skating ring.
And one of Nazy's friends even knew she would make it to the Oscars.
After being nominated for an Oscar, Quvenzhane won't be so normal anymore. She's extraordinary.
