Well by the end of awards season I found Ben Affleck to be as studied as any of the women if it makes you feel better, Robbie.
And the only reason Day Lewis wasn't was because he seemed to keep his sanity by not taking any of it too seriously.

Ain't no one better at smelling bullSH*T than a nine year old. She made a movie, got an Oscar nom, and then proceeded to act like a real, honest-to-God kid.
Seriously, I don't know what all the fuss is about. I saw a nine-year-old girl who made history by her nomination enjoying herself and the buttloads of attention heaped upon her in a rather age-appropriate way and having the time of her life. I found her behavior far more interesting, normal and respectful than the bland and somber faux reverence displayed by the parade of fashion photo-ops that make up the majority of the audience and the evening. It's not like she was running around the theatre screaming, hitting people, peeing on the stage or shouting "HOLLA!" during the memorium. She was just a behaving like a really happy little girl. For the life of me, I can't figure out what she did that was so heinous.

Neither can I. Plus, she had a puppy purse!

Posted: 2/26/13 at 2:38pmI think she's being compared to an early Dakota Fanning whom I thought was a little too-too if you get my drift. Another young artist who seems a little old for her age, but whose talent awes me is a young singer named Jackie Evancho. She has the voice of a middle aged female operatic alto and she's about 11 yrs old, lol!

Posted: 2/26/13 at 2:51pmYeah...I find preternaturally mature children somewhat unnerving. Which is why I liked the way Miss Wallis has been refreshingly...well...child-like in public.

Posted: 2/26/13 at 3:16pmWell, I mean, who doesn't love a puppy purse - it was one of my most favorite things on the red carpet. And I loved that she loved her dress because it was "sparkly and fluffy". Those things to me were totally age appropriate and utterly charming.

And really...does she know who Octavia Spencer is to care enough if she wants to play her mom?
SHOULD she know who Octavia Spencer is?

Posted: 2/26/13 at 4:39pmI don't get all the fuss about Quvenzhane Wallis, she's nine years old for goodness sakes...nine! She didn't do or say anything in appropriate...she was expressing her happiness and excitement the only way she knew how.

Tom,
The exchange between her and Octavia happened on the red carpet.
And I don't think she was acting like a normal 9 year old, I thought she was acting like a spoiled rotten 9 year old.

Posted: 2/26/13 at 5:39pmWhen I think of "spoiled rotten", I think of tantrums, stubbornness, demands and reckless wanton behavior. What did Wallis do that made her appear "spoiled rotten"? I don't even remember seeing enough shots of her in the audience to have time to make that sort of assessment. Now, I didn't see her on the red carpet, so maybe she ran around screaming, kicking Octavia in the shins, and knocking over undernourished haute coutured A-listers, but I haven't read anything to that effect.

OMG...damned funniest thing I've read all day!!
I agree, I didn't see her exhibiting any behavior that deserves the kind of reaction being expressed here.
But that's just my opinion.
