	Great quiz... but yeesh, surprisingly hard.

	MovieDynamic:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 04:39 GMT	5 points
	Yes! With the Oscar nominations looming sooner and sooner and Meryl Streep looking pretty much guaranteed for her 15th nomination, this couldn't come at a better time. Thank you!

	Damn, can't believe I missed the winner of 1969's Actress/1978's Supporting Actress and the winner of 1977's Supporting Actress. Alongside both the actors with 12 nominations and the actor with the record for most losses, they're my favourite performers on the list! Excellent quiz, sporcle. Thanks again

	I was thinking of naming Burstyn but then I thought well, she probably got nominated for The Exorcist and Requiem and thats it. Argh!@

	WestWinger -- I had that exact same thought and smacked my head when I saw the answers.

	meryl streep was nominated for 11 best actress oscars. she only won one. i would get so ticked if the academy wasted my time like that

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 10:50 GMT	2 points
	@ talick - I hope you're joking. An Oscar nom is almost as prestigious as a win.

	Great quiz. I only got 14. The ones I missed were ones I should've guessed but my mind went blank.

	slw@hwdyk.com:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 12:06 GMT	4 points
	Much harder than I thought it would be.

Comment below threshold: show it

	drza:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 14:12 GMT	2 points
	I sat here and guessed names the whole time and got 6. I missed some obvious ones but some of the ones that didn't show up shocked me. I don't think I've ever done so bad in a sporcle I took so many guesses on!

	no denzel. I typed his name in like 5 times. I'm very surprised. extremely hard quiz but very fun

	HalfWelsh:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 16:19 GMT	3 points
	Nice quiz....Nice and hard!

	Sneuticles:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	9 points
	Only 12/29 but love love LOVE this quiz. No Tom Hanks -- a surprise.

	littlegoldwoman:	Jan 7th, 2009 at 22:06 GMT	4 points
	More More

	TheBluesMan:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 00:05 GMT	2 points
	@Sneuticles - I was surprised at that too. Hanks has been nominated five times. He just missed the cut...

	DirtyKash:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 01:31 GMT	2 points
	Well then. Perhaps we need the "Most Oscar Wins" sporcle quiz? Unless it's too much of the same as the nominations one.

	weirdmary91:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 12:44 GMT	0 points
	Great game.....even if i got only 8!

	Sonicsgate:	Jan 9th, 2009 at 19:25 GMT	3 points
	This was a fun quiz but in a few weeks Kate Winslet will probably have 6 or even 7 noms.

	MissInformed:	Jan 10th, 2009 at 14:54 GMT	-4 points
	Can I suggest that in the instructions it's made clear that people who've gone on to WIN an Oscar are included? Given the intro on the front page, my partner and I assumed it was just people who'd been nominated without ever winning.

	binski98:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 15:58 GMT	4 points
	MissInformed - that's just your fault. It says nothing about WINNING an Oscar - it's simply about nominations regardless of whether the actress or actor went on to win the award. Also, please update the answers now that the 2008 nominations have come out.

	Genxerd71:	Jan 22nd, 2009 at 17:09 GMT	5 points
	With her nomination for "Doubt," Meryl moves up to 15. Also, with her nomination for "The Reader," Kate Winslet joins the list with 6 -- "Sense and Sensibility", "Titanic", "Iris", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Little Children" and now "The Reader."

	Sparky:	Apr 29th, 2009 at 00:05 GMT	-2 points
	Wow, this is so hard, such a huge area to cover. I got put off massively at the start...by trying every variation of "Katharine" except the right one lol. I was like "wtf?!! How is she not on there... wow this is hard..."

	Hubbadestahs:	Feb 23rd, 2010 at 21:39 GMT	1 point
	Update this to include 2010 nominations

	zloty:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 20:42 GMT	1 point
	You got to feel sorry for Peter O'Toole. 8 times nominated and only won an honorary oscar

	Hamlet:	Jul 13th, 2010 at 01:52 GMT	1 point
	How can it be updated to include the 2010 nominations, when 2010 isn't over yet? We won't know the nominations until early 2011.

	You forgot Paul Muni...he had six: (The Valiant, I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang, Black Fury, The Story of Louis Pasteur, The Life of Emile Zola, The Last Angry Man)

	shanti:	Oct 21st, 2010 at 17:29 GMT	0 points
	What about Eastwood, he's been nominated 10 times, though only once for acting.

	Supachewy:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 15:02 GMT	1 point
	Only got 9, much harder than I thought it would be. Good quiz

	LJ55:	Dec 2nd, 2010 at 00:42 GMT	1 point
	So many old actors

	wolfewolfe:	Jan 26th, 2011 at 01:32 GMT	3 points
	Now you have to ad Jeff Bridges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay

	yazfan:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 15:17 GMT	1 point
	What's remarkable is who's NOT here, for instance Gregory Peck, Jimmy Stewart, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Cary Grant and Alec Guinness on the male side...

	leviper:	Jul 7th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT	1 point
	So glad Yahoo! linked people to this quiz.

	Philomena:	Jul 23rd, 2011 at 03:44 GMT	0 points
	I dispute Paul Muni - one of his nominations was a write-in.

	ilovekelly75:	Nov 25th, 2011 at 02:41 GMT	0 points
	Leo should be up here pretty soon.

	rockgolf:	Jan 24th, 2012 at 21:12 GMT	0 points
	@IloveKelly: Not this year... ...but fast work adding Glenn Close!
