	Well I got the bonuses for Drew and Jane as a consolation.

	To the guy in the archived comments who missed Peter Finch: Did that make you mad as hell?

	I hope I'm not the only one who types in Atticus and stares at the screen confusedly before the obligatory forehead slap.

	I think it might be time to go to bed...when I got to Spacey, I instinctively typed in 'Trencer'. Then the thinking part of my brain came back online.

I would love some leeway on March's spelling. But the Joan Crawford bonus was almost worth it. Love the fact that we could get Abraham with just one letter; wasn't even sure there was a real name there or just a simple letter for style....

Great quiz, don't change a thing! =) Fredric is how he spelled his name, Bobman1, do you also want leeway on Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker?

	i get a bonus for trying drew barrymore, but not for "ford, harrison"? great quiz. lady version to follow?

	mizark:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 08:01 GMT	12 points
	So...you're telling me that Dick Tracy never won an Academy Award for Best Actor? =P

	ian2813:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 08:53 GMT	6 points
	Are we all confessing our incorrect guesses here? OK, here's mine: I guessed "Redd" for "Foxx" and totally forgot about Jamie. I figured it was wrong, but it was all I could think of. Still, I can only imagine how legendary that acceptance speech would've been.

	elcropsziuq:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 09:44 GMT	2 points
	I had tried Peter for Fonda and ended up with Finch :) Nice quiz although my brain slipped a gear and I got 3 bonuses lol

	zamboni:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 09:57 GMT	11 points
	Note to Whittaker, march, brody, schell, rush and others: You made my life difficult today. Consider seriously changing your name to some standardized spelling. I suggest "Bob".

	The moral of the story is: if you want to win an Oscar, be called Paul.

	quizmaster1960:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 10:59 GMT	1 point
	happy with my 57, missed 2 others i knew when i ran out of time, didn't know the others. good quiz, is there another one for actresses?

	Reensie:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 12:01 GMT	1 point
	Well done. Good quiz. A bit of forehead slapping, and no I didn't get them all...

	pete32782:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 12:38 GMT	10 points
	Pretty safe to say "Shia" will never be on this list.

	dlutz77539:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 13:24 GMT	-1 points
	I wonder how many people knew Fredric March and Maximilian Schell, but couldn't spell their names.

	lizzyloo:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 14:09 GMT	2 points
	thanks for taking the misspelling on Laurence!

	sproutcm:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 15:10 GMT	5 points
	@jdfulp What an excellent quiz. Stay true and only accept the correct spellings of people's names. If you cannot spell it the way the person spelled it, you shouldn't get credit. Also, I look forward to the upcoming Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor versions you're going to make!

	Grunt2009:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 15:22 GMT	2 points
	I'd agree the Fredric March needed to be spelled correctly.. but then why give you Nicolas Cage if you put in Nicholas??

	TLordaGama:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 15:41 GMT	0 points
	I thought all the Barrymores got awards, but was sure John was part of the mix.

	fraac:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 15:46 GMT	-4 points
	please allow max for schell

	@Djibouti - :^D You made me laugh on that one!

	chikka2:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 19:17 GMT	2 points
	With Oscar winning names like Bing, Denzel, Humphrey, it makes me wonder why studios encourage actors to change their names at all. Well, Marion Morrison maybe needed some work...

	Pogues:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 19:56 GMT	1 point
	Geez Djibouti, it took me 3 minutes to explain to my wife why I was laughing so hard.

	roonilwazlib:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 20:03 GMT	1 point
	Enjoyed this quiz, but I have to say the best part about was Djibouti's comment.

	quackman:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 20:44 GMT	1 point
	Was so hoping that answering "Todd" would generate a bonus answer of "Whatchu talking about Willis" for Bridges.

	charolastra:	Apr 30th, 2011 at 23:39 GMT	5 points
	I'll admit it: I tried "Gary" for Colman.

	Grindledorf:	May 1st, 2011 at 00:12 GMT	0 points
	@pete32782 You'd think, and yet Nicolas Cage is on here. Anything is possible.

	HectorVortac:	May 1st, 2011 at 00:49 GMT	0 points
	My most annoying miss: Cliff Robertson. A favorite actor I haven't seen in a while, so out of sight - out of Sporcle mind.

	PublicEnemy:	May 1st, 2011 at 02:42 GMT	0 points
	I admit I tried Booker T for Washington before I realized its Denzel.
