LIVE POLL: Oscars Face-Off: Producers - Spielberg vs Rudin vs Kennedy

 Spielberg 

Oh man, Spielberg will win this by a landslide. Early prediction.

You might be right, Spielberg (114) has about thirty more productions on his resume and a more saleable and recognizable name in the business. Kennedy's  (85) resume is impressive too and is one of the most well known producers in Hollywood and is the lead producer on all the Star Wars final trilogy and stand-alone movies. Muddling the issue is that were long time collaborators, so their resumes are as much the same as different. It should be closer than it probably will be. Steven Spielberg - Movie Producer Resume Best Picture Oscar Nominations (9) 2016 Bridge of Spies, 2013 Lincoln, 2012 War Horse, 2007 Letters from Iwo Jima, 2006 Munich, 1999 Saving Private Ryan, 1994 Schindler's List, (Won) 1986 Color Purple and 1983 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Kathleen Kennedy - Movie Producer Resume Best Picture Oscar Nominations (8) 2013 Lincoln, 2012 War Horse, 2009 The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 2006 Munich, 2004 Seabiscuit, 2000 The Sixth Sense, 1986 The Color Purple and 1983 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

I added Scott Riding to make it a three way face-off.

Text corrections needed: When the Oscar nominees were announced for the 2016 Academy Awards, Steven Spielberg received his record-breaking ninth Best Picture nomination.The nomination for Bridge of Spies helped Spielberg jump ahead of Kathleen Kennedy for the most all-time Oscar nominations by a producer. They have also worked together so five of their Best Picture nominations are shared.

This poll suggestion is ready for publication. 

Just a heads up. Allegations of abusive behavior[edit] Rudin is widely considered to be one of the most abusive bosses in the entertainment industry.[43] He has been called "Hollywood's biggest a-hole" (the New York Post's "Page Six"),[44] "the most feared man in town" (The Hollywood Reporter),[12] and notoriously hot-tempered.[45] Rudin acknowledged having "a temper" in a 2008 interview, but said he has "grown up".[46] Hugh Wilson admitted in a 2015 interview that he had negative experiences working with Rudin during the making of The First Wives Club.[47] On April 7, 2021, Rudin was accused, by numerous employees speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, of demonstrating a long-standing pattern of abusive behavior towards his employees, including physical abuse, such as throwing objects at his assistants, and in one instance breaking an assistant's hand with a computer monitor.[6] In that article, he was also accused of having victims sign non-disparagement agreements and having the victims' film credits increased or retroactively decreased after quitting.[6] On April 14, 2021, Karen Olivo announced that they would not return to Moulin Rouge! once it reopens in protest of the industry's silence on the allegations against Rudin. In an Instagram video, Olivo stated, "I want a theatre industry that matches my integrity."[48] As a result of the allegations, Sutton Foster, who was slated to star alongside Hugh Jackman in Rudin's upcoming Broadway production of The Music Man, reportedly vowed to leave the show if Rudin did not "take a seat".[49] On April 17, 2021, the Actors' Equity Association called on Rudin to release employees from any ongoing nondisclosure agreements and for actions from employers, in order to create "truly safe and harassment-free theatrical workplaces on Broadway and beyond."[50] Members of the union have pushed for Rudin to be added to a Do Not Work list.[51] On April 17, Rudin released a statement apologizing for "the pain my behavior caused to individuals, directly and indirectly" and said he would "step back" from active work on his Broadway productions.[52] On April 20, he announced he would do the same for his "film and streaming" projects.[8] On August 13, it was reported that Rudin was no longer an executive producer for the upcoming third season of the What We Do in the Shadows.[53] This was confirmed when the first episode premiered and his name was not listed in the credits. In a September 2021 interview with Vanity Fair, Aaron Sorkin was asked about Rudin being fired from To Kill a Mockingbird, after an 18-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and said, "I think Scott got what he deserves."[54] Source “Everyone Just Knows He’s an Absolute Monster”: Scott Rudin’s Ex-Staffers Speak Out on Abusive Behavior Make of it, what you will.

Spielberg seems like a shoo-in to extend his nomination lead over the others again in 2023 with an almost certain Oscar Best Picture nomination next week for The Fabelmans (2022).
