Great quiz! It turned into a game of "name every actor that comes to mind" for me, and even so I only got 131. For some reason I have a feeling I'll do better on the actress quiz; gonna try that one next.

I got Sam Waterston solely because I love him on Law & Order, and I was guessing any name I could think of. I didn't even know he was in movies. Some surprising omissions too. The fact that Jim Carrey wasn't even nominated for Man on the Moon or the Truman Show is dispiriting. Also can't believe that Christopher Lee didn't get nominated even once in a prolific career spanning seven decades.

Definitely agree about Jim Carrey. I would also add Eternal Sunshine to his list of performances that deserved a nomination. I know people like to use his "over-the-top" style of acting to discredit him but Eddie Murphy's done plenty of wacky things in his career and he still earned a nomination.

I'm also surprised that Donald Sutherland wasn't nominated for Ordinary People, even though pretty much everyone else in that movie was.

Edward G. Robinson, Joseph Cotten and Ray Liotta always get me. I know they weren't nominated but enter them anyway because it feels right.

If he ever gets nominated for another Oscar in the future then I would say yes. However, this quiz specifically focuses on actors who were nominated in the Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor categories. Page was nominated for Best Actress before his change, which is why he appears on the opposite quiz.

I love how 96% guessed DiCaprio, and then the percentage drops 20% on the second most-guessed name! Looks like putting a picture on top helps a lot.

Funny enough, DiCaprio was the most guessed even before I put a picture up. It's actually the reason why I picked him when I decided to use pictures, although the one you see now was picked by the Quizmaster.
