Do kids ever get a shot at the main actor award?
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Hailee should be up for Best Actress, I agree.

Because books.
And Jodie Foster was nominated at fourteen for Taxi Driver, but I assume that was Supporting, too.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I think she means a Best Actor rather than Supporting Actor. The only child to win a Best was an honorary one given to Shirley Temple and it was a miniature.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Anna Paquin won a Supporting Oscar for The Piano.
And what happened to her career after that, huh? Oh yeah, hit cable show.

Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for Best Actress for Whale Rider.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Way down the page here, [link] Marlee Matlin was the youngest Best Actress winner at 21.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I was thinking, if a 10-year-old can win Best Supporting, there's no reason someone of the same age couldn't be nominated for (and win) Best.
