The Oscars: Irish Movie Characters' Pot of Gold?

Irish and Irish-Americans have been extremely fortunate when it comes to striking Oscar gold. While the Oscars doesn't keep records on movie character ethnicity, an informal study estimates about 16-24% of Oscar nominees and winners played movie characters of Irish descent, a percentage consistent with the American general population.
