	i thought the clues were pretty fair. the only thing i thought about changing was to say which ones were women since they are a pretty small minority in this quiz. let me know what you think

	Does "wins" refer to the number of Oscars that the actor/actress won, or the number of movies that won best picture of those in which the actor played?

	movies. i thought that was pretty clear given the context

	Hackman was in French Connection and Unforgiven, which makes 2 best picture winners not 1

	good call. i don't know how i missed that

	Harrison Ford actually has nine - his first was in "The Great Escape" as a Nazi. He's onscreen for a nanosecond, but it's in his filmography.

	My fault - Great Escape wasn't nominated. Mea culpa.

	I count six for Niven -- Dodsworth, Wuthering Heights, The Bishop's Wife, Around the World in 80 Days, Separate Tables, and The Guns of Navarone

	To consolidate the rest of my comments, I also count 9 for gary cooper -- he was in the very first best picture, Wings -- but only 5 for Ed Harris. Many more are missing: Henry Fonda (8), Jean Arthur (6), Greer Garson (6), Deborah Kerr (7), and in the bonuses, Maurice Chevalier (5). Those are just the ones I could think of. I only point these things out because in general I love what you've done here, and would like to see this go somewhere.

	thanks, i'm fixing them now so it should be all good soon. i think i mixed up Ed Harris and David Niven because i had them listed alphabetically at first. this took a while trying to list these b/c wikipedia was the only source i could find that had this information all on one page but it was changed b4 i could go back and double check. thanks for the heads up

	How about Ward Bond? I think he has even more than Jack Nicholson.

	danemychal:	Oct 16th, 2011 at 15:13 GMT	1 point
	I agree that Ward Bond (Bert from 'It's a Wonderful Life') has to be on here. He was in 10 that I count: Gone with the Wind, You Cant Take it With You, Dead End, The Grapes of Wrath, Sergeant York, The Maltese Falcon, The Long Voyage Home, Its a Wonderful Life, The Quiet Man, Mister Roberts.

	Check this out --and I realize these names aren't glamorous & will make the quiz harder -- Wallis Clark appeared in a whopping THIRTEEN BP nominees and FIVE of them won! Mildred Pierce, Since You Went Away, The Human Comedy, Random Harvest, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Gone With the Wind, You Cant Take It With You, The Great Ziegfield, Mutiny on the Bounty, It Happened One Night, 42nd St, I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang, and Lady for a Day.

	The only way I could think of to possibly catch all the supporting actors (e.g. Ward Bond or Wallis Clark) would be to import the imdb cast lists from 494 Best Pictures nominees into a spreadsheet or database program and run some kind of advanced search. Otherwise there's too much potential for people to slip through the cracks.
