It's
awful news for a friend of mine, yesterday's announcement that 11-year-old
Little Miss Sunshine star
Abigail Breslin will be named the Showest "Female Star of Tomorrow" at the closing night ceremony of the Las Vegas industry professional event, held March 10-13.
“Since making her big screen debut at the tender age of
five,
Abigail Breslin has impressed critics and movie fans across the world
with her versatile, enchanting and charismatic performances,” said Mitch Neuhauser, co-managing director of the event.
“From her breakout role in
Signs to her astounding performance in
Little Miss Sunshine, Abigail has shown Hollywood that she is a force to be reckoned with,
for many years to come.”
The commercial breakthrough of those two, above-mentioned films notwithstanding, it seems an unusual choice in some regards, as Breslin, who next appears in
Nim's Island,
hasn't been a recognized top-liner for very long. I wonder what older brother Spencer thinks of this? Well... both he and Dakota Fanning, actually. She may be sticking needles in an Abigail voodoo doll tonight.
