10 breakout stars to watch out for during awards season -- and beyond

Awards season is a bit of a polarizing time of year. Celebrity news reaches a fever pitch and yet, we can’t help but anticipate all that season brings, whether we claim to love it or hate it.

The gowns, the speeches, the performances and even the controversies are all part and parcel. Amidst all the celebrity fanfare of A-list stars, we have the up and comers who most of us don’t quite know yet – at least not by name.

They walk the red carpet with the excitement and anticipation of a child. Their humility is always refreshing because unbeknownst to them, they’re about to overtake stars they grew up admiring. As you watch the red carpet processions this year, keep an eye out for these 10 breakout stars. You’ll be seeing a lot of them in 2016 and hopefully for years to come.

This year’s show kicks off on Sunday, Jan. 10 at 8 p.m. ET. Don’t forget to check out our coverage on Yahoo Style, Yahoo Celebrity and Yahoo Movies!
