Well Played, Quvenzhane Wallis
I want to hug her at all times.

Critics’ Choice Awards Well Played: Quvenzhané Wallis
Well, now that she’s been nominated for an Oscar, we need to prepare ourselves…
… for the ADORABLENESS that is ahead of us. I totally want to give this girl the biggest hug and then put on some 1D as the kids are calling it these days and dance around her bedroom and then paint our fingernails something glittery and talk about whether the guy who sits two desks over in Social Studies actually picks his nose or just wants her to stare at him. In short, I have never, ever wished to be nine again (except during Annie, obviously), until maybe right this second. If she became besties with Kiernan Shipka this season, my SQUEEEEEE Meter might actually blow up.

Oscars Cute Weekend: Quvenzhané Wallis
This must have been a weird couple of months for Quvenzhané Wallis. It’s hard to say how much a nine-year old absorbs from an experience like this, if only because when you’re little, sometimes things that are mind-boggling for an adult seem normal, because you don’t have as much life experience to compare with. Young Oscar winners, like Anna Paquin, have said that they didn’t even realize exactly what was going on at the time — and in Quvenzhané’s case, when it comes to certain aspects of being in the public eye, that’s probably for the best. (For example, I were her mother, I damn well wouldn’t want to have to explain the details of The Onion’s deeply misguided joke, and the press reaction to that, to her. Because you have got to be kidding me. VERY POORLY.)
However, it’s pretty easy to grasp that people think she looks cute. Because she did. Let’s all take a moment to reflect on the fact that she doing to star in the Annie remake, and that therefore it might be awesome.
