To be honest, they are second choice. I would also have suggested Christian Bale and Nathalie Portman. But they were picked already.

Jaf, I see that you've added a lot more than four options yourself. Is this still a poll board suggestion?

I think that my post disappeared, so I'm sorry if this is posted twice.

Jodie Foster as "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane" from 1976

Jack Wild as The Artful Dodger in 1968's "Oliver!"

Oliwia Dabrowska as the little girl in the red coat in "Schindler's List" from 1993.  She has no lines, but it was emotionally impactful and memorable.

Oops... Wild was Oscar nominated.  Sorry about that.  I had forgotten.

My absolute favorite child actor performance was by Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon, but she won the Oscar for that role.
