Is Abigail Breslin the youngest ever Oscar nominee?

Question

If not who is?

Answer 1

Abigail Breslin will turn 11 in April this year

Tatum O'Neil was ten when she won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar and the youngest ever nominee is Justin Henry, who was eight when he was nominated in a Best Supporting Actor role for Kramer vs Kramer.
Shirely Temple won an honourary Oscar at age 7.
So in answer to your question - no.

Answer 2

No. "When 8-year-old Justin Henry received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role in 1979's drama 'Kramer vs Kramer', he became the youngest ever Oscar nominee."

Answer 3

i have in user-friendly words considered 4 of the nominees: Lincoln, Django Unchained, The Avengers, and Prometheus. i did not like Lincoln, yet really loved Django Unchained. Out of 5 stars, I gave Lincoln 2 stars, Django Unchained 3.5 stars, The Avengers 3 stars, and Prometheus 2 stars. Prometheus is a sturdy contender for its type, seen effects. i imagine my tastes are thoroughly opposite of Hollywood. i become bored and dissatisfied with Lincoln, yet loved the cinematography, surprisingly close to the end at the same time as Lincoln is leaving the White abode to bypass to Ford Theatre. in the course of the statement of the nominees, I loved a number of the jokes Seth made, which includes this one, after he examine the nominees for most acceptable Director: "those are 5 those who're the very maximum acceptable at sitting in a chair observing different human beings make a movie."

Answer 5

Abigail Breslin = 10

According to Tatum O'Neal's yahoo actor page, she was 9 when she made "Paper Moon", for which she was not only nominated...but she won.

The other name that came to mind was...Anna Paquin who made "The Piano" in '93. I know she was nominated. But she was born in '82, so she was either 10 or 11.

Answer 6

Tatum O'Neal was 9 when she won an Oscar for Paper Moon in 1973.

Answer 7

No. She is the 3rd youngest. The youngest was the boy from Kramer vs. Kramer, Justin Henry. The youngest girl is Tatum O'Neil.

Answer 8

I don't know how old she is but Tatum O'Neal was pretty young.

Answer 9

yes
