The last time Patricia Arquette went home with an Oscar was in 1996, when then-husband Nicolas Cage, who had thanked “my gorgeous wife, Patricia” in his acceptance speech, won best actor for Leaving Las Vegas. Now, after winning SAG, BAFTA and Golden Globe awards for her 12-year-spanning role in Boyhood, the best supporting actress nominee has a good shot at bringing home a statuette of her own Feb. 22. The 46-year-old Arquette, whose family’s show business roots stretch back four generations, all the way to vaudeville, had her first theatrical experience at age 4 as the Philadelphia Folk Festival’s Chicken Little and her first major film gig came in 1987’s Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
