Their film ?The Help? was one of the hottest of 2011, and Octavia Spencer and Viola Davis have both received nominations for the upcoming Academy Awards for their performances.
Ms. Davis is up for the Best Actress trophy, competing against Meryl Streep, Rooney Mara, Glenn Close, and Michelle Williams.
She told press, "The key to a great performance is surrounding yourself with talent and getting over your ego. One thing everybody gave up was their egos when they got on the set, and I think that showed in the final product."
Additionally, Ms. Spencer is in the running for the Best Supporting Actress trophy, as are Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, and Bryce Dallas Howard.
Octavia noted, "I am never presumptuous because these sorts of things are beyond our control and I didn't want to be set up for disappointment. A lot of us actually went to dinner last night and slept over and wanted to be together when we found out, so in case we didn't get that call we wanted to be nice and hungover."
