Even though he looks nothing like MJ, I thought he did an excellent times. At times his movements and emotions reminded me of MJ. I wonder if he got any nominations or awards.

I think he did win an award for this performance. Although, I do agree with you. Jason looked nothing like MJ at that age; the other two actors that played Michael (child & adult) did. However, it was said that the real Michael loved his performance & picked Jason himself to play the part. Some of the singing in the movie was even done by Jason himself.

On IMDB on the actor's page there's a link for awards.

Jason Weaver won:

Special Award Outstanding Young Performers Starring in a Mini-Series
for: The Jacksons: An American Dream (1992) (TV).

You have the right to remain silent because whatever you say will probably be stupid anyway!
