Should have got an oscar for Ai


What an incredible, moving and heartbreaking portrayal of a character that isn't real. He captured being a robot with one purpose perfectly, and all the devastating emotions that would come with it.

Yes, I was mildly surprised that he was not nominated. The imprinting scene was a natural Oscar clip. Still, I don't think anyone under 16 has ever been nominated for a lead role, only supporting.

Quvenzhane Wallis and Keisha Castle-Hughes were somewhat recently. There may be a couple males, too.

Should have won an Oscar for The Sixth Sense. He was brilliant.

I agree wholeheartedly. Also for The Sixth Sense as well.

Are you aware, that is pretty funny.

Seriously though, that movie was depressing as hell, and very off-putting. It was not a great movie, though I think it could have been.

a lot of child actors are better than adult ones; they're more in touch with their own emtions and aren't fake or living in their own minds.
