ELLEN PAGE

Juno
Oscar History: This is her first date with Oscar.
2008 Scorecard: Page took home a National Board of Review award, and was up for three other awards, including a Golden Globe.
Before She Hit Oscar: Growing up in Canada, she was a tomboy who played with action figures and climbed trees.
Scripted Moment: "[The script] floored me," Page, 20, told Entertainment Weekly about Juno. "I was literally obsessed with it. I don't cry over spilled milk, but if I hadn't been able to do it, I would have been really disappointed."
