Oscar nominations for children

I think this silly practice should be outlawed.

If you can't fuck them you don't award them.

There it is in black-and-white.

Read it and weep, losers.

I've seen child performances that were quite good but ultimately it's not the same as the work and thought and adult actor puts into a performance. Also it's a tad cruel towards the kids. Too much pressure.

Yeah, adults can handle the rejection and can realize you're not going to win every single time. But I would imagine for a kid that it's very hurtful.

They should have added a younger performer category ages ago.

I'll be impressed when a child is nominated for cinematography, screenplay, or original score.

If they want to honor child actors I say put them in the In Memoriam.

The Academy should reinstate the Juvenile Award because there have been some really excellent child performances and they deserve recognition.
