The sun came out for Annie star Quvenzhané Wallis this morning!

The sun came out for Annie star Quvenzhané Wallis this morning!

The nominees for the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced from the Beverly Hills Hotel and Wallis, most known for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild, nabbed the coveted spot in the "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy" category for her role in, Annie.

Quvenzhane Wallis says she took singing lessons to prepare for the lead role in a new version of "Annie," opening in theaters in December. "My vocal chords got better as I sang in the car, and when I (took) singing lessons, they got even better," the 11-year-old Quvenzhane said in a recent interview.

The movie also stars Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Rose Byrne. Producers include Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Jay Z. "Of course we have a Sandy. There's no 'Annie' without a Sandy. We have a little doggie named Marti who is a rescue dog. She's really cute," Quvenzhane said.

Quvenzhane carried a puppy purse when she walked various red carpets to promote "Beasts of the Southern Wild." (She is one of the youngest Oscar-nominated actors ever.)

Now her 8-year-old Yorkie, Sammie, accompanies her wherever she goes. She has another dog, Shuga, who is too big to travel.

Quvenzhane said she helps care for her dogs by feeding them and making sure they have fresh water. She wants to encourage kids to "always be there" for their pets because "they're, of course, your best friend."

She hopes to become a veterinarian.

Quvenzhane wrote the foreword to a new book "My Very, Very Busy Day," the story of a dog and a cat, designed to teach kids about the responsibilities that come with having a pet. The book is available at Banfield Pet Hospitals, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to pets in need.

Wallis, who became the youngest actress to receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2012 for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild, was nominated alongside Amy Adams, Big Eyes, Emily Blunt, Into the Woods, Helen Mirren, The Hundred-Foot Journey and Julianne Moore, Maps to the Stars. 

David Oyelowo also nabbed a nomination for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama ahead of the release of his film, Selma. While David and the film might have been snubbed from SAG Awards, the film does lead nods for the NAACP Image Awards. The director of the Civil Rights movie, Ava DuVaernay, also picked up a nod for Best Director.

Oyelowo, who plays Martin Luther King in the drama, is up against, Steve Carell, Foxcatcher, Benedict Cumerbatch, The Imitation Game, Jake Gyllenhaal, Nightcrawler and Eddie Redmayne, The Theory of Everything.
