Saoirse Ronan ("Atonement") fills the youngster role that sometimes scores in this category, and 83-year-old Ruby Dee ("American Gangster") fills the respected veteran slot.

I have to say I'd normally be very skeptical because I LOVE the movie, LOVE Gene Kelly and I have NO idea how they're going to pull off the amazing ballet.
