Two of the wrong answers (Gosling and Hanks) were excellent choices for answers if you truly have no idea. Broadly familiar, frequently up for awards, perfectly reasonable... and also wrong.

I was a little surprised no one went for Waltz. He's a recent 2x winner.

  - Do they mix it, like "This British monarch has is the one with the most performances nominated for an Oscar." - Marlowe Jan 30, 08:11 2
