At nine years old, Quvenzhane Wallis is the second-youngest star to receive a Best Actress Nomination for her performance in "Beasts of the Southern Wild."
Meanwhile, at age 85, Emmanuelle Riva is the oldest actress to ever be nominated in the same category for her role in "Amour."
But they aren't the only two who have Hollywood buzzing right now.
32-year-old father-to-be Channing Tatum starred in three hit films last year, 22-year-old Jennifer Lawrence has become the most desirable woman in the world, and 46-year-old J.J. Abrams will be delivering a new "Star Wars" film (hopefully) by 2015.
We've gone through 2012's top directors, actors, highest-paid CEOs, and industry insiders to come up with the most influential people in Hollywood of the past year.

AGE 3: Mason Dash Disick
Son of reality stars Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick
What makes him powerful: Mason just turned three in December, but he's been getting face time on "Keeping up with the Kardashians" for some time.
