Once again, Barbara Walters interviews Hollywood's hottest celebrities for her 27th Annual Oscar edition of "The Barbara Walters Special," airing Sunday on ABC.

This year, Barbara sits down with upcoming "Indiana Jones" star Harrison Ford, "Ugly Betty's" Vanessa Williams, teen mega-star Miley Cyrus, and 2008 Academy Award nominee Ellen Page.

Barbara, never afraid of a blunt question, asks Ellen, "Do you think you deserve to win the Academy Award?"

"I don't. I really don't… to be honest with you. I feel really weird even being nominated." the young star replies.

Barbara echoes Page's surprise about "Juno's" astonishing success, saying, "Who knew that 'Juno' was going to be the sleeper film of the year? Or that Ellen Page would be nominated for an Academy Award?"

The just 21-year-old Page (as of Thursday, February 21) is still shell-shocked and humbled by her Oscar nomination. She tells Barbara that fans will call her "Juno" on the street.

Another Barbara interviewee still adjusting to life in the spotlight is Miley Cyrus. She tells Barbara it has been a tough transition from teen to tabloid target.

"It's more hurtful and it's almost kind of embarrassing." Miley confesses to Barbara. "There's always people taking pictures. I think the hardest is just trying to live a normal life."

Honestly, I didn't think Juno was that great. I didn't really care for its sense of humor. But I thought Ellen Page's acting in the movie was great.

Ellen Page is the best. She seriously rubbed off on me. I mean for the whole week after I watched Juno, i was speaking Juno-fication for that entire week. Ellen Page rocks! she isn't like Hoolywood pretty, but she is that girly-eclectic cool. ELLEN PAGE ROCKS!!

The best way for Miley to stay out of the tabloids is for her father to ban her from owning a digital camera. She has a penchant for personal underwear shots.
