I honestly don't get Mark Ruffalo getting a Best Actor nod. I'm not a Ruffalo hater, but I just don't get it.
An actor's actor maybe? Remember, only actors pick the acting nominees.
Willow ,'Showtime'
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.

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.

Sol Star! Oh, that one's moving up in my queue.
Do kids ever get a shot at the main actor award?
I can't see why not. Tatum O'Neal won Best Supporting Actress for Paper Moon when she was 10.
Supporting, though.
Hailee should be up for Best Actress, I agree.
And Jodie Foster was nominated at fourteen for Taxi Driver, but I assume that was Supporting, too.
