Live Poll: 30 Oscar Nominees at the Age of 30

They were 29 when we were celebrating IMDb's 29th anniversary last year and (coincidentally) 25 when it all started 5 years ago (time flies by the way)...

But it seems that 30 marks a serious turning point as far as acting nominations go because we have this year more than 40 actors who've been nominated so far at the age of 30, an observation that prompted us to separate between nominees and winners in order to have less than 35 entries in each poll.

So here goes the first round: as you know, we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of our favorite website, here are (would you believe it!) 30 performances that earned their actors an Oscar nomination on the year of their 30th birthday.

Which of these performances (ranked chronologically) would you consider your favorite?

As usual, it's very likely that the actor/actress might not have turned 30 (or 31) before the actual date of the ceremony, but using the same convention as for the last five editions, the age 30 is simply the result of a simple subtraction of years.

"25th Anniversary" Poll (2015) "26th Anniversary" Poll (2016) "27th Anniversary" Poll (2017) "28th Anniversary" Poll (2018) "29th Anniversary" Poll (2019)

Norma Shearer in A Free Soul is also in last year's poll. She was born in 1902 and was nominated at the Oscar ceremony which took place in 1931.

 

By my count you could add Marlene Dietrich instead.

Wow, time does fly. I remember, really well, when we were all making polls in 2015 for the 25th anniversary. We also were all playing one of those exclusion games to narrow it down to our collective favorite Oscar films. : )   This poll has me all nostalgic, ElMo! Lol. I realized that I've known you, Dan, Peter, and Pencho for six and a half years and Dibyayan and Jess for almost as long by just a few months. It's been such a pleasure!

 

This is a great poll, especially for the anniversary, and wow, so many to choose from!

I was pretty sure you were among us during the Daily Poll days....
