Henson was nominated for her performance as Queenie in \"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,\" while Davis was nominated for her performance as Mrs. Miller in \"Doubt.\"

Although Penélope Cruz ended up winning the Best Supporting Oscar for her role in \"Vicky Cristina Barcelona,\" the two women have clearly remained great friends and supporters of each other.

\"Love you @tarajiphenson,\" Davis added in the Wednesday post. \"You are a rare cut diamond. Happy Birthday Queen!\"
