1. Holy shit, I didn't even recognize him.

The years have not been very kind to him. But the Bad News Bears is still a damn funny movie.

2. Jackie Earle Haley played Bad News Bear Kelly Leak
And was in the coming of age movie "Breaking Away". Then he pretty much dropped out of sight. This Academy Award nomination must be blowing his mind.

3. And it was justly deserved.
He was incredible in Little Children!

8. OMG I had no idea that was him!!
I just figured it was another no name.

I always thought he looked kinda freaky looking for a kid.

What a great comeback story

11. Clint Howard had his chance with "Appollo 13" . . ..
Just goes to show that you bide your time in B-Movies, independents and such that being a former child star isn't always a curse. Hope he wins. I like underdog stories.

12. Reading IMDB -
He hasn't done a movie since 1993. Imagine being 13 years out of the game and then emerging in two critically-praised roles.
