#20: What is the best performance by a child in a film?
It was all about bad acting in our last go-around, and there was plenty to hate on. It filtered down to Kevin Costner versus Hayden Christensen for the MFC acting Razzie and poor Hayden just couldn’t be beat. Sorry, Anakin; nobody likes almost any version of you. That winning answer put Eustace Scrubb back on top. This week he asks:
What is the best performance by a child in a film?
The Rules:
Post your answer as a comment. Make it clear that this is your official answer, one per member.
No profanity. No pornography.
Defend your answer in the comments and fight it out against other MFC members’ answers for the rest of the week.
Whoever gets the most likes on their official answer comment (and only that comment) by Friday night wins the fight. You may like (heart, whatever) as many answers as you want.
The winner gets the honor of posting the next question the following Saturday.
In the case of a tie, the member who posted the question will decide the winner.
Notes:
Only movies will qualify (no TV shows, or documentaries); however, films that air on television or streaming (BBC films, a stand-alone mini-series) will qualify.
Your answer can be as off-the-wall or controversial as you’d like. It will be up to you to defend it and win people to your side.Â
Fight it out.
Would you like to join the fight?

Tom Holland in The Impossible. It's a film about the tsunami that decimated Thailand in 2004. He and his severely injured mother search through the aftermath for the rest of their family.
I’ll nominate Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit. She really stole the show as Mattie, while acting amongst actors with way more experience. She really captured Mattie’s spunk and tenacity.
