Zooey Deschanel Golden Globe Nomination: Actress' High School Photo

Before she coined the term "adorkable" as the "New Girl," Zooey Deschanel was still pretty darn "adorkable." Check out the actress' 1997 junior year high school photo, long before she was walking red carpets and getting nominated for Golden Globes.

That's right, Deschanel scored a Best Actress in a comedy Golden Globe nomination for her starring role in the hit sitcom "New Girl," which is also nominated for Best Comedy Series. But our favorite new roommate has to beat out some stiff competition if she wants to take home the golden trophy. She's up against comedy heavyweights like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Laura Dern and Laura Linney.

It's about time that Deschanel show these comedy veterans that the "New Girl" in town is no laughing matter.

That picture looks like it was taken during the late '60s or early '70s ~~~ the hairstyle, the eye make-up. I guess that every "look" does come back . . .

This whole "nerdy girl" fad is beyond irritating. It's fake just like Emo or Hippie. Ugh.

You don't have to click to find out most of the time. At least with Windows, just hover the mouse over the pic and the link shown in the bottom left will have the name. Sorry advertisers.

She didn't coin the term "adorkable". That term has been around for years.

Ever since she sang in that move Elf she won't shut up. Her voice is unique but she knows it and plays it up a bit too much.
