PAGE 'BLOWN AWAY' BY OSCAR NOMINATION
Posted 10:44am 01/25/08
Young actress ELLEN PAGE is overwhelmed by her Oscar nomination for her
starring role in JUNO - calling the experience "surprising" and "humbling".
The 20-year-old, who plays a pregnant teenager in the movie, is
shortlisted
in the Best Actress category at next month's (24Feb08) Academy Awards and
admits the news came as a complete shock.
She tells MTV.com, "We were coming from Paris on the train (Eurostar) and
just getting to London when I heard. It was exciting.
"Winning awards was something I was trying to keep out of my mind (but)
it's
a surprise and very humbling. It just blew me away."
Page insists the film's screen writer Diablo Cody was always confident
that
she would receive a nod for the part.
She adds, "She (Cody) text me when the Oscar nominations came out saying:
'I
told you so.'"
Page will take on Cate Blanchett, Julie Christie, Marion Cotillard and
Laura
Linney for the award at the prestigious ceremony. (LR/WNWCM/TN) *WENN
