1. Natalie Portman – Leon
2. Uros Milovanovic – Promise Me This
3. Tommaso Neri – The Solitude of Prime Numbers
4. Anton Yelchin – Hearts in Atlantis
5. Haley Joel Osment – A.I. Artificial Intelligence
6. Tyler Hoechlin – Road to Perdition
7. Elle Fanning – Somewhere
8. All kids from the documentary Before Flying Back to the Earth (2005). I know it’s documentary, but you have to see these kids. It’s much more powerful than any acting in the feature film. Won DGA Award for best documentary.
9. Lina Leandersson – Let the Right One In
10. Asa Butterfield – The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
11. Thomas Turgoose – This is England
