I would like to point out One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and As Good as it Gets are flipped for best actor. As Good As It Gets won in 1998, not 1976.

i think there is a mistake with Frederic March / Wallace Berry who tied in 1932. Either name works in the Best actor spot, but there is not room for both of them. So even if you get all spots filled, the score still says you are missing 1 ??
