Natalie Portman , Leon the Professional
I'm starting to become a bit of a broken record with my picks and I thought about going 100% different but I don't want to pass on Portman in Leon as I think it's one of the greatest acting jobs from a child you will ever see. Portman plays the part so perfectly and shows all the range you could possibly ask for from a 12 year old first time actor. Heartbreak and sadness , joy , comedy and an unspeakable void in her is pertinent throughout the movie. I don't know of many performances that were more complete from front to back than hers in this movie and it's a pure testament to her ability. Emperor is up.

Don't know that I would say it's a 100% no brainer for the Culkin pick , it depends on what you're drafting for. If you're going for most iconic than he is obviously atop that list as it doesn't get much bigger than Kevin from Home Alone but if we are talking about pure performance than I wouldn't say it's a no brainer. He's good in the movie , relies a lot on his childish charm and expressions but it was hardly a masterclass of acting. Not a bad first pick but not the no brainer either. I don't think there's an obvious no brainer. I have a list of like 9 or 10 I would be okay with getting. Culkin was on there.

Also the HLJ is a wonderful pick. Considered him for a second because it’s almost as iconic as Kevin but I haven’t seen that movie in years. Maybe I’ll fix that soon.

I was going to take him over Ricci this go around but Emperor made my decision for me. I was worried about this category but it’s pretty deep. Lots of good options out there still.

Dafne Keen , Logan
An amazing performance out of young 12 that came out of nowhere it seems. Logan is one of the most applauded "Super Hero" movies of all time and she's a giant reason why it got all acclaim and will stand the test of time. For her to come out and stand toe to toe with Jackman in HIS swan song and sometimes steal the movie is miraculous. Not only her ability to handle the action (which she does) but its the quiet and somber moments where this performance becomes the most impressive. You just can't speak highly enough of her ability to capture the innocent and feral nature of X23 throughout the movie. Happy it made it back to be and a bit surprised given the boards tendencies.
thereallt is up.

Breslin was also high on my list , I would have taken her soon and it would have been a tough choice with Keen - though I am trying to diversify my drafts from my own in the past and I probably bring up Little Miss Sunshine a ton. Her performance is impressive in a bubble but when you consider that shes in there surrounded by a cast with the likes of Toni Collete , Alan Alda (throwing heat) , Steve Carrell , Paul Dana and even Greg Kinnear - a cast of heavyweights and she's STILL able to steal the show - remarkable performance from like an 8 year old and it even shows range.

Also if you haven't had a chance to see it , google Keen's audition tape for Logan. It's pretty fun.

Chloe Moretz totally stole that movie. Great pick. I was hoping she'd fly under the radar for some reason. Probably because that movie never gets talked about anymore.

Justin Henry (Kramer vs Kramer)
Okay so I am going to repeat myself some but as much as I love Hoffman's performance in this movie and have praised it in the past , the person who shares most of that screen time with him is Justin Henry , not Meryl Streep. A tall tale for an actor of any age much less this little boy who not only held his own , got nominated for and deserved the best supporting actor award. One of the best child performances you are ever going to see. The movie doesn't work without Henry being as good as he is and Hoffmans arch doesn't work either.

Dakota Fanning , Man on Fire
Probably not going to win this one anyways so going to end it with some more personal favorites. Fanning is probably more well known for a few other roles but to ME this is her best one. She completely kills it as Pita from beginning to end. From her having to make that connection with Creasy (Denzel) in the first half of the movie she has to be instantly likable and charismatic otherwise the whole rest of the movie doesn't work. She knocks that right out of the park so that when the movie really picks up their relationship matters more than anything and you as the audience completely buy in. Then she has to handle all the terrifying scenes of being captured and held hostage and cap it off with one of the most heartbreaking endings ever. I honestly think Fanning was one of , if not the best all around child actor we've seen over a course of movies and this is her swan song. Even though a ton might disagree. thereallt

The O'Rourke pick is a great one , she was definitely on my list but I was assuming she would fly a little more under the radar. She is great in that movie and her line delivery on "They're Here" is one of the best you'll ever see out of a child and deserves it's iconic status. The movie doesn't work without her and it's tragic what ended up happening.
Matilda is also on my list. Love that movie. She is so charming in it as well.
Interesting that most of these picks are girls. Guess girl child actors are just that much better than the guys.
