[Petite Coquette]

Is abigail the youngest person to ever be nominated for a main acting award?!! I'm so surprised! Or does that honor still go to anna paquin?

According to my calculations (with the help of imdb.com ) they were both 10 at the time of nominations and Anna is born in June or July and Abigail in April, so Anna is still the youngest.

 

[Meg]

surely if Abi was born in April that is before June or July and that would make her the youngest? None of the wires that are carrying the store though mention this interesting tidbit so I'm sure she mustbe slightly older....
