Little Known Facts about the Oscar Nominees

A lot of big names are nominated this year. Huge names are nominated that are veterans along with some "new meat." I picked six of the Best Actor and Actresses nominees and dug up some fun facts about them. Check them out below.

Jennifer Lawrence
Her new nickname in the entertainment world is JLaw but her nickname as a child was Nitro. She was called that because she was always so hyper. She was nominated for her first Oscar at the age of 20 for Winter's Bone and she is now 20.

Jessica Chastain
She herself is a vegan and her mom is a vegan chef. That beautiful red is her natural hair color. The brilliant Heen Mirren is a little bit obsessed with her. She once said that she sees a lot of herself in Jessica and she is a huge supporter. 

Naomi Watts
I think we are all up to speed on the fact that Naomi and Nicole Kidman are besties. What I didn't know is that the two of them have been inseparable since they meet as teenagers at a casting call. Naomi has said that her three favorite actresses are Meryl Streep (I obviously approve), Jodie Foster (not so much) and Julianne Moore (are you kidding me, I hate Sweaty!) 

Bradley Cooper
BCoop was once married to actress Jennifer Esposito. A unique fact about him is that he does not drink. He stopped years ago because he wanted to live longer. He also used to chew tobacco but now is often found with a toothpick in his mouth. 

Hugh Jackman 
His favorite drink is a gin and tonic (I definitely approve). Jackman's first job was as an overnight gas station attendant. 

Denzel Washington 
As a child Denzel was not allowed to go to the movies because his faster was very conservative. He has written a book called A Hand to Guide Me. It's all about those who have shaped his life and inspired him.
