Some of our favorites? When young actors are recognized for their incredible performance in movies. Who can forget adorable little Abigail Breslin being nominated for "Little Miss Sunshine" in the same category as Jennifer Hudson? Or Quvenzhané Wallis flexing her muscles when her name was announced as a nominee for Best Actress in "Beasts of the Southern Wild?"

We're taking a look back at the youngest Oscar nominees in the history of the awards, focusing on the actors and actresses that received nominations before their 20th birthdays.
