Oscar Nominees: Before They Were Famous
And in Jeremy Renner's case, they were rocking amazing flat-top-meets-mullet hairstyles.
Celebuzz has rounded up yearbook photos of some of this year’s leading Oscar contenders (and hosts). Check out these nominees before they were famous, and come back to Celebuzz for the Academy Awards on Sunday night (February 27) for every last bit of fashion and awards news!

Wow do celebuzz not like jennifer lawrence or wat??
Just because she was in films didn't make her famous. For the record Jesse Eisenberg was in a film before that Senior photo of fim too...but you didn't know that...because he wasn't famous. Just like a lot of people didn't know Natalie Portman when she was in The Professional. Stop nit-picking.
yum :) lol
braces!!!
This brings back those Princess Diaries days...God, I miss those days!
she looks just like she did in the princess diaries
Oh Dear Lord. Hilarious!
Gorgeous!! But I think she's better as a ginger.
What kind of hair is this????? I laughed so hard!!!
"Best Actress hopeful Jennifer Lawrence graduated high school two years early to begin acting. The risk certainly payed off." Wow, the irony here is thick. PAID OFF.
@notsosmart I was just about to say the same thing.
Hahah Man, these pictures of Mark Ruffalo are killing my love for him.
Annette Bening is not nominated for Best Supporting Actress, so she can not be the "favorite."
Its Jeremy Renner from The hurt Locker (last year) and The Town (this year)
Who is this? It doesn't say in the description?
Natalie Portman was in The Professional and younger than this picture, meaning she was famous before this picture.
