Oscar Nominees Before They Were Stars

In honor of “Throwback Thursday” and this year’s Oscars which is set to air Sunday, March 2nd on ABC, I decided to take a look back at some of this year’s Oscar nominees before they were stars. We tend to forget that celebrities are just regular people who just so happen to have tremendous amounts of money, but before the fame and fortune came embarrassing high school photos, and bad hair days. Below are some of Hollywood’s finest back in the day. And the nominees are …

Sandra Bullock

Jonah Hill

Jonah Hill seen here during his junior year, 2001 at Crossroads School, Santa Monica, California. He is nominated for best supporting actor for The Wolf of Wall Street. Jonah hasn’t changed much face wise, but he did recently drop some pounds. Look out ladies.

Julia Roberts

So that was just a snippet of whose faces you should expect to see at this year’s Oscars in all their Throwback Thursday glory. Make sure you tune in to see who wins!
