After some consideration, and the fact that my views on the whole transgender discussion has changed somewhat over the years, Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page who was previously nominated for Best Actress for "Juno," will be moved over to this quiz and will no longer be on the other version of this quiz when I update both quizzes in 2025. This is to keep things consistent with the whole male and female separation theme.
I created both of these quizzes before Page came out as transgender at the end of 2020, and have gone back and forth on deciding how to handle it before finally deciding to move him to this quiz. I apologize for not making this decision sooner, but better late than never I suppose.
Again, Elliot Page will be added to this quiz for the next update in 2025. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed the quiz!

Great quiz! It turned into a game of "name every actor that comes to mind" for me, and even so I only got 131. For some reason I have a feeling I'll do better on the actress quiz; gonna try that one next.

I got Sam Waterston solely because I love him on Law & Order, and I was guessing any name I could think of. I didn't even know he was in movies. Some surprising omissions too. The fact that Jim Carrey wasn't even nominated for Man on the Moon or the Truman Show is dispiriting. Also can't believe that Christopher Lee didn't get nominated even once in a prolific career spanning seven decades.

Definitely agree about Jim Carrey. I would also add Eternal Sunshine to his list of performances that deserved a nomination. I know people like to use his "over-the-top" style of acting to discredit him but Eddie Murphy's done plenty of wacky things in his career and he still earned a nomination.
I'm also surprised that Donald Sutherland wasn't nominated for Ordinary People, even though pretty much everyone else in that movie was.

I love how 96% guessed DiCaprio, and then the percentage drops 20% on the second most-guessed name! Looks like putting a picture on top helps a lot.

Funny enough, DiCaprio was the most guessed even before I put a picture up. It's actually the reason why I picked him when I decided to use pictures, although the one you see now was picked by the Quizmaster.

Thank you to everyone who’s taken this quiz so far. I’ve been thinking about updating this every two years from now on since it’s such a massive quiz. There were a lot of first-time nominees this year which is why I decided to update it for this season instead of the next. If that’s okay with the Quizmaster and everyone else, I’ll return to this quiz and its female version in 2025.

You are in a cult. You are lying to yourself, but it won't change reality. You think that love is compassion, but love is actually the desire for flourishing. And flourishing can never ever grow from a lie. As in the case of Ms. Page. She got everything she wanted, yet she seems very very unhappy. She's in a terrible place, and I really wish her well. But it starts with telling the truth.
