Before They Were Stars
The 2012 Oscar Nominees Before They Were Stars!
This year's Oscars seem to be all about The Artist. It feels like it has already won, even though the nominations were just announced. The film picked up 10 nominations, just one shy of Hugo. But let’s take a look back at some of the other nominations for the top movies and performances of 2011. By Tom Hardej

Viola Davis is a rock star these days. She gave two Oscar-worthy performances this year in The Help and in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, but it’s for the former that she’s nominated. She almost won a few years ago for her role in Doubt, but it’s a safe bet that Viola will beat out Meryl Streep (in The Iron Lady) this year to become only the second African American to win Best Actress.
