Why did he got nominated ? , He didn't do anything special

Jack Wild and Ron Moody pretty much made it the classic it was IMHO.

They did. In fact, I think they could have made a spinoff movie, or perhaps a TV series, about their further adventures.

Jack Wild sucked. That's why he became an alcoholic sock-faced puppet.

Like previously stated: He & Moody stole the film! He was a fantastic Dodger. He was very talented and charming.

Because he was very good in the role.

Are you kidding? Jack Wild was the best thing in the movie. Also, he was playing much younger than he was. He was 16 but the Dodger was supposed to be around Oliver's age.
