Jodie Foster, arguably the leading child actor of the 1970s, had no fewer than five feature films released in 1976 when she was just 13 years old. For which of these movies did she receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress?

Answer Taxi Driver

Foster's remarkable performance as a child prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) earned her major accolades, including an Oscar nom and multiple prestigious acting awards. The film also garnered Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Actor and took home the coveted Palme D'Or at Cannes that year. But Taxi Driver wasn't Foster's only successful 1976 project—in fact, Bugsy Malone (1976) nabbed a Golden Globes Best Picture nom and was also up for the Palme D'Or that year! Just to top it all off, Foster was honored with a Golden Globe nom for her performance in Freaky Friday (you guessed it: 1976).
