But all three of Janet's were nominated together at the first 1927-28 Oscar fest. ..just as all of Emil's were nominated together at one Oscar fest.. If you add Emil and Janet to your list, you go from 131 to 133 and I get a couple stars (**). Both Emil's two and Janet's were released on consecutive calendar years and you said: How can you go wrong

Apples and oranges -- not the same fruit or thing. The archaic rule for the first six Oscar ceremonies doubled up on film years (1927-28, 28-29, etc.) until finally straightened out in 1934. The GG ruling was put there to avoid the confusion of release date with Oscar ceremony -- a common misconception. But the Jannings and Gaynor nominations were not consecutive -- they were for the same ceremony (just like Holly Hunter in 1993 getting nominated for both PIANO and FIRM). Allowing what you are suggesting is to invite chaos! The advantage of being Quizmaster -- "That's my ruling" (to quote Judge Roy Bean).  |

Can't believe the great QM missed out on Wallace Beery.  Can't believe Wallace Did this, not without a stronger mix in the drink. |

But Tele did make up for that inexcusable oversight -- as noted with the double golden asterisk at A-15.

Don't worry I've framed the asterisk!

Don't worry I've framed the asterisk! Which is preferable to framing the Quizmaster!
