My Take
What grips me about Quvenzhané Wallis is the sheer audacity of her arrival: a nine-year-old from Houma, Louisiana, becoming the youngest Best Actress nominee in Oscar history and the first born this century. Beasts of the Southern Wild wasn't a cute child performance, it was a force of nature. What I respect most is what came after, or rather what didn't: she resisted the burnout treadmill that swallows so many prodigies, branching into writing and choosing her steps carefully. I'm genuinely curious to watch her grow into adult roles. That early ferocity, matured, could be remarkable.
