The nominations for the 2013 Acaemy Awards were revealed only moments ago. 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 “Beasts of the Southern Wild.” Not yet 10 years old, Wallis becomes the youngest person ever to be nominated in a major category.
