7 Oscar Nominees Like You've Never Seen Them

The Oscars kick off Sunday night at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

To make sure you're pumped for the show, we did some digging around the web for the nominees' lesser-known sides (think Natalie Portman's SNL rap).

This year's nominees for Best Actor include Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook), Joaquin Phoenix (The Master), Daniel Day-Lewis (Lincoln), Denzel Washington (Flight) and Hugh Jackman (Les Misérables).

Best Actress nominees include Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild), Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), Naomi Watts (The Impossible) and Emmanuelle Riva (Amour).

See the rest of the nominees here. The ceremony begins Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
