It\u2019s the biggest night of the year, with all eyes on Hollywood for the 96th Oscars on Sunday 10th March. As anticipation builds, we unveil some of the unique career histories behind this year\u2019s nominees and uncover some of the paths they took before finding fame on the silver screen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From exploring a career in basketball to studying opera at college, let\u2019s delve into some of the more unusual careers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ready? Lights, camera, action!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bradley Cooper<\/h3>\n

Nominated for:<\/strong> Actor in a leading role (Maestro)<\/span><\/p>\n

Job before fame:<\/strong> Journalist\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Average salary:<\/strong> $64,494<\/span><\/p>\n

While at school, Cooper wrote for the Philadelphia Daily News, writing a piece about when friends cross the line – pretty embarrassing as it was about a classmate! He\u2019d actually wanted to move to Japan and become a \u201cninja\u201d, but instead entered the world of acting and never looked back!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is far from the first time he\u2019s up for an Academy Award either, he\u2019s been nominated for 12!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
