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.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Anna Paquin won a Supporting Oscar for The Piano.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I guess Keisha's lucky Jeff Bridges wasn't in Whale Rider.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
From what I heard on NPR this morning, the Coens were pushing for Hailee to get a nom for supporting so she'd have a chance of winning. I guess they thought an unknown kid wouldn't win for Best Actress.
