@ElMaruecan82 ,

I'm fortunate I was not drinking or eating something when I read:

I would have covered my laptop with drink and/or food after laughing.

Suggested edits:

15: I wasn't sure if Katharine won one or both; perhaps this would read better:

The only instances of actors of the same last name being co-nominated are the two legendary Hepburns (Katharine and Audrey) in 1960 and in 1968, when Katharine won.

19: The only instance of an Oscar-winning role sharing the same initials as the actor

@ElMaruecan82 I have just checked all your stats and as far as I could find, the only one at risk of changing in the upcoming Academy Awards is #18.

If either Paul Giamatti or Sandra Hüller win, then there'll be a third namesake occurrence between actor and character. I'll be surprised if Hüller wins, but Giamatti does have a stronger chance.

I also checked them all, but somehow overlooked these ones. I'm glad you could double-check for me. I suppose we'll have to wait now.

@ElMaruecan82​ Either waiting, or you could edit the text to mention the possibility of this little piece of data changing in the next ceremony if you want it to be published sooner.

In this case once the awards are over the text would need to be edited depending on the outcome.

Why Anne/Ann/Ana and not Anna?

Actually, you're right, for some reason, I didn't mention Anna Kendrick... which makes me wonder whether I should or not consider Annette (Bening)

I've rewritten my 7th, 17th, 18th and 19th options. If these adjustments align with your recommendations, the poll can be considered viable, now.

Thanks.
