Live Poll: Oscars Generational Milestones
It's Oscar seasons now, so I invite you to a little time travel: spanning almost a century of Oscar nominations and wins, this poll is about the major "first" and "last" performances generation-wise, from the oldest nominee ever born 3 years before the American Civil War to the youngest ever born 2 years after September 11.
Which of these performances would you be the most interested to discover?
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls088579487/
Before checking the poll, a few observations:
- there are no distinctions of genders; still, it's interesting that 75% of these are female performances
- as you might expect, there are many child and elder performances in the list
- for the sake of this poll, generations were defined by decades of birth
- the terms "youngest/oldest" don't refer to the age of the performer in the year of his nomination but to the age in general.
- out of respect for the still living actors born in the 1920s, I didn't consider their last winning and nominations as permanent

Regarding "spanning eight decades and twice as many generations": doesn't the list span up to ten decades of movies, from 1929 to 2012?

Good poll, of course. : )
May I suggest a few added parentheses (just to make this following a bit more clear and easier to read)?
from the oldest nominee ever (born 3 years before the American Civil War) to the youngest ever born (2 years after September 11).

You seem to have put the name of Edith Evans in the Harvey entry instead of Josephine Hull. :)
Interesting poll.
