The Oscar buzz is in the air and while it's never a surprise when the Clooneys and Streeps of the world step up to accept their golden statues, we are sometimes blown away by those lesser-known, unexpected shining stars.
Think of Marissa Tomei in 1992 or Anna Paquin in 1993, both awarded best supporting actresses, stealing the coveted title from such huge household names as Vanessa Redgrave and Holly Hunter respectively. Let's not forget Sandra Bullock's surprising win in 2010 for her role in "The Blindside" - while we all love and adore "America's Sweetheart," she was best known for her romantic comedy roles, and so her Oscar-worthiness was questioned by many in Hollywood
In fact, we anxiously await the Academy Awards each year for this very reason - to see those beloved underdogs rise out from under the shadow of that big Hollywood sign, to get what they really do deserve, their moment in the sun. So, as we cheer on those-lesser known stars, we want to know which nominee was the most surprising to you.
