Q.876

Oscar 2

What similar but exactly opposite records have the actresses Emmanuelle Riva ("Amour") and Quvenzhane Wallis ("Beasts of the Southern Wild") set by being nominated for the category of "Best Actress"? (In doing so, they replace Jessica Tandy ("Driving Miss Daisy") and Keisha Castle-Hughes ("Whale Rider") in the Oscar record books.)

They are the oldest (Riva is 85) and the youngest (Wallis is 9) to be nominated for Best Actress. See this for some more details.
