Added Scarlett Johansson (in Best Actress), Renee Zellweger, Leonardo DiCaprio and Joaquin Phoenix. It looks like half of them will win as well.

Alongside DiCaprio and Phoenix there are 2 actors playing directors – Antonio Banderas and Adam Driver. Is this the first time when 80% of Best Actor nominees play someone connected to the world of film/theatre?

Joaquin Phoenix’ character is an aspiring comedian, who actually got to do one gig (maybe two if we count that talk show).
Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh were actors as kids in that film, but yeah, I guess it’s not their real professions.

I just love movies. And awards.

I can add Hanks as Mr. Rogers as TV personality as it’s kind of acting performance as well. Pitt – no, stuntman is different kind of job. I need to watch “Little Women” to have opinion on that.

Cooper and Malek were added the moment they’ve got nominated. Ali played a musician and I’ve decided to exclude those from the list.

Weird. I saw Gaga but for some reason I didn’t notice the others. Gotcha! And good job on keeping this updated.
