Wasn't she the lead, though?
Only in the sense that she's the protagonist, appears in every scene, and the story is told from her point of view. Besides that, the best-supporting nom makes perfect sense.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Remember that guy who did all those cool illustrations of movie scenes as if they were pages in childrens' books? He has some limited-edition artwork for sale:
I like the chestburster one and the ones from the Terminator movies....

Hailee was amazing. I hate that the studio didn't put her up for Best Actress. Travesty.
And I honestly don't get Mark Ruffalo getting a Best Supporting Actor nod. I'm not a Ruffalo hater, but I just don't get it.
Were they that hard pressed to find good supporting actor roles?

An actor's actor maybe? Remember, only actors pick the acting nominees.

I don't get Ruffalo/Benning for The Kids are All Right, period.
also don't get Andrew Garfield not getting the Supporting Actor nom for The Social Network and of course Nolan for Best Director. though after seeing the GGs, the latter one surprises me less. Inception was completely locked out. The Social Network was good. Inception was great. i don't get it.

Benning drew me into the story while Ruffalo kept throwing me out. Even so, Benning for the Best Supporting Actress? Eh. Hailee all the way.

Oh, crap, I didn't notice that! That is a surprise. Although I was distracted by John Hawkes. I haven't seen Winter's Bone, but I loved him in Deadwood, so I'm happy for him.

Do kids ever get a shot at the main actor award?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I can't see why not. Tatum O'Neal won Best Supporting Actress for Paper Moon when she was 10.
