a
brilliant
new
career."
"This
whole
roller

that
happens
to
you
when
you're
passionate
about
something

she
wasn't
even
thinking
of
being
an
actress;
she
just
auditioned," the

quoted
Oprah
as
telling
People.com.
"And
now
here
she
is,
being
nominated
alongside
Meryl
Streep,
who
is
the
greatest
actress
in
the
world,
with
Sean
Penn
reading
her
name.
Only
in
America,"
she
