TheQuench: Quvenzhane Wallis - Youngest Oscar Nominee in History [Video]

I love this girl!

 Not only is she a talented Thespian, but this little firecracker is a super mature and focused little 9 year old. Her role as Hushpuppy, in the moving 2012 Critic's Choice independent film, The Beasts of the Southern Wild, took audiences everywhere by storm! Consequently, Miss Wallis has made history as the youngest person EVER to be nominated for an Academy Award.  

What an accomplishment! 

Watch below!

Soledad O'Brien sits down with the poised young actress to chat about her nomination, future works, and what she wants to be when she grows up.

Watch Quvenzhane at the 85th Annual Academy Awards (Oscars) on February 24th.
