	Robert Downey, Jr., Matt Damon, Harrison Ford, and Leonardo Dicaprio at #8 but no Edward G. Robinson? What is the source to this thing? It's spelled "Dafoe." Gene Wilder's only had one acting nomination, the other was for writing. Accept 'von Sydow.' Accept "Downey Jr" and "Downey." Glenn Close has had 5 acting nominations. Dennis Hopper has only had one acting nomination.

	And you might pick a representative movie for #24 in which his face actually appears and not a voice role.

	Really good quiz. Although its all about your opinion, its based around facts. A lot of effort has gone in to it and it's understandable that there was one or two small errors since you came up with it from scratch. Thanks for putting it up.

	Fidelio:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 11:15 GMT	2 points
	A few suggestions: 1.) I'd change the title and/or the instructions to make it clear that you're only referring to competitive acting Oscars. Peter O'Toole, for example, has won an Oscar for his acting - it's just that it wasn't a competitive Oscar (it was honorary). 2) How many women are there, nine? Out of fifty? At the very least, you could add Deborah Kerr. 3) Sorry, Clint Eastwood, but you don't belong at a higher spot on the list than Richard Burton.

	Kind of surprised Depp is as low as he is. Julianne Moore?

Comment below threshold: show it

	A better quiz than the current rating suggests. I don't agree with all your choices, but you've indicated it's your list and given enough information so it's not a "read my mind" game.

	Kroxquo:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 14:48 GMT	1 point
	I prefer quizzes with an authoritative source, however this is a good quiz because you have stated clearly that it's based on your opinion (which seems to be based on solid research). There will always be arguments about lists like this, regardless of the source. My own quibble - What about Roy Scheider? There are are entries that make me go UGH! (such as including say Adam Sandler). I wouldn't nominate this because of the lack of source, but do rate it highly.

	Good quiz overall--I pretty much agree with Kroxquo's & Chocabloc's comments on it (although Cary Grant should be #1, IMO--him never winning an Oscar is an absolute joke). My one issue is that there are multiple versions of "Of Mice & Men," so you should indicate the year the way you did with Dracula.

	imclala:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 15:34 GMT	0 points
	"Afraid" is misspelled in the clue for number 5. To echo the others, I don't agree with all of your choices, but it is clear and well-researched, even though at least a few of these people have won non-competitive acting Oscars.

	@wilsonflanges: Gene WIlder was nominated for The Producers but he lost out to Jack Albertson for The Subject Was Roses.

	Kroxquo:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 16:56 GMT	1 point
	I do want to apologize because I meant to say that there are NO entries that make me go UGH!

	wilsonflanges:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 17:37 GMT	1 point
	chrispaz: Thanks. i stand corected. Wilder was robbed.

	AdamL:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 18:30 GMT	1 point
	Kristin Scott Thomas would be in my list and very very high.

	antwandelfiglo23:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 19:02 GMT	5 points
	NO ROBERT PATTINSON????????

	debaser_1985:	Aug 16th, 2011 at 21:47 GMT	1 point
	Decents quiz, though I would echo the previous comment about how few actresses are on it (some examples you could've put: Barbara Stanwyck, Deborah Kerr, Julianne Moore, Marlene Dietrich, Rosalind Russell, Gloria Swanson). Maybe could've done separate lists, as men & women compete for separate Oscars.

	rudyfernandez5:	Aug 17th, 2011 at 04:00 GMT	1 point
	I have to say, Matt Damon is my favorite actor on this list. For such a prolific actor he doesn't make many bad movies and he's also in many very good ones (Bourne/Oceans/Rounders/Departed/Good Will Hunting ect) He deserves to get one at some point.

	survivorfan:	Aug 17th, 2011 at 04:30 GMT	1 point
	Definitely agree with the fact that there this list is ridiculously actor-heavy and missing of a lot of deserving actresses. I would say the previously mentioned Moore, Kerr, Stanwyck, and Swanson plus Michelle Pfeiffer, Sigourney Weaver, Helena Bonham Carter, Gena Rowlands, and Doris Day among others. Seperate lists are the way to go.
