	I very much approve of the John Cazale reference in the blurb.

	One of the better sporcle quizzes, really... amazing to see how many were included for what is far from their most celebrated or major roles.

	Holy crap, From Here to Eternity is one of my favorite movies and I totally blanked on Burt Lancaster being in it--I just thought about Montgomery Clift & Frank Sinatra--so I didn't guess it. Gahhhh! And frankly, some of these actors only being in one Best Picture is just absurd. Looking at, say, Paul Newman's filmography, you could pick our 4 or 5 other movies that were deserving of winning, and many others in the quiz are the same way. Terrific quiz!

	Very sneaky Bill Paxton...very sneaky.

	I can't believe I took the time to write out "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"... luckily, I remembered George C. Scott's other giant role.

	I agree with loving the blurb reference. John Cazale: Short life, amazing filmography. My retro-ness really shows when I get "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947) and miss "Chicago" (2003) LOL

	Seen the Ben Affleck & Bill Paxton films - clean forgot they were in them! Doesn't look like I was alone in that.

	I don't know what it going on with this site, but I typed in "gone with the wind" about four times and it never accepted it! This just happened with another quiz I did. What am I doing wrong?!!

	tjvhammer:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 12:55 GMT		1 point
	@tlaz maybe you didn't leave spaces between words? 'the' is ignored so you'd have to type 'gonewithwind' or just 'gone with the wind' with spaces

	EXCELLENT quiz, and very surprising! How the hell is Gregory Peck's not To Kill a Mockingbird?!? A pretty big chunk of these seem like apologetic awards that they gave to films with big stars to make up for not awarding them earlier in their careers for their defining roles - like when Denzel Washington got best actor for training day instead of the dozens of better roles he's had. This quiz was so much harder than it looked at first glance...and it didn't help that I spent a solid two minutes trying to come up with Janet Leigh movies for "Vivien Leigh." D'oh!

	I like the John Cazale reference. Now it's between The Deer Hunter or Dog Day Afternoon today...

	I'm surprised Gene Kelly's movie wasn't Singing in the Rain. Man, AFI loves that movie--it seems to make every one of their "top 100" lists.

	I missed Braveheart. I am ashamed of myself and do not deserve to have a Sporcle account.

	mellybmel:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 14:42 GMT		5 points
	Well done! As others have noted, excellent job of picking actors that, once I saw the answers, made me say, HE was in THAT??, e.g., Christopher Lloyd in "Cuckoo's Nest," or Ben Affleck in "Shakespeare." Nice challenge!

	the quiz title doesn't help in telling you what it's about

	@Wpark83, Gangs of New York did not win Best Picture

	pete32782:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 15:47 GMT		-2 points
	Might have to remove Matt Damon from this list if True Grit somehow wins...which IMO it doesn't deserve to.

	roguetrader:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 16:11 GMT		6 points
	What a perfect quiz topic! Lots of "How have they been in only one best picture?" and then of course a few episodes of "They were in an oscar-winning movie?" (I'm looking at you, Affleck.)

	@kabini12: This quiz is for the Best Picture WINNERS, not just for nominations.

	ahh laurence of arabia

	istalkblink182:	Feb 20th, 2011 at 23:48 GMT		5 points
	@kabini12: if this list was just nominations it would be a hell of a lot shorter. you'd have to take out nearly everyone

	pete32782:	Feb 21st, 2011 at 02:25 GMT		2 points
	Wow, voted down by Coen fanboys! And it's a fact that if it wins, Damon will have to come off this list. Calm down killers, I'm not saying it's a bad movie, just not the best one that came out last year. Yeesh.

	ashman:	Feb 21st, 2011 at 15:50 GMT		6 points
	pete32782: you get voted down on these boards for EVERYTHING. It could have been Coen fans, or maybe someone didn't like the fact that you put three dots in between "wins" and "which" instead of four, or maybe five. Who the hell knows? I swear to God, I've never seen such a group of petty, bitchy whiners as the people on these comment boards. And yes, I know this diatribe will now get slammed down to a -37 or so. Like I give a crap about my average comment score on Sporcle. "Sorry, Mr. Ashman, sir. We can't sell you this car. It's because your Sporcle average on comments is at -8.4!"

	jfrantzis:	Feb 21st, 2011 at 20:56 GMT		3 points
	Great idea for a quiz and well researched!

	chikka2:	Feb 22nd, 2011 at 00:52 GMT		2 points
	Amazing that for many of these their one Oscar winning film was also their signature film...at least 9 of the first 12 picks on the list. Wonderful quiz, a delight to answer

	@ashman: You just said everything I've ever wanted to say since joining Sporcle.
