Perfect.

Beatty was already confirmed. Kihei and myself both nominated him.

Yeah that's the one I missed, I forgot to take him out of that list.

 

[kihei]

Man, that is some impressive list.

Man, that is some impressive list.

Now I have to come up with the impossible task of seeding them LMAO. Realistically it's not the biggest thing as long as I can kind of separate them in chunks because I'm doing the 16 groups of 4 actors thing. Basically it'll be 1, 32, 33, 64 in a group, then 2, 31, 34, 63 in a group, etc.

What do you think would be a fair spot for these 6:

Song Kang-Ho
Vincent Gallo
Toshiro Mifune
Tony Leung
Gong Li
Maggie Cheung

They can be anywhere, I just put placeholders in because seems right that English actors with no nominations should be at the bottom.

Once it goes to single elimination I'll re-seed by how many votes they get (among all 1st place, then among all 2nd place).

 

[Pranzo Oltranzista]

What?? Bruce Campbell is in???

 

[Trap Jesus]

Alright I'm just going to seed them just below the 2 time-nominees, sorting them by how many awards they have. This will at least spread them out for groups and give them a chance.

Final list:

1	Jack Nicholson
2	Katharine Hepburn
3	Ingrid Bergman
4	Daniel Day Lewis
5	Marlon Brando
6	Sean Penn
7	Gene Hackman
8	Frances McDormand
9	Sally Field
10	Christoph Waltz
11	Laurence Olivier
12	Sissy Spacek
13	Judi Dench
14	Ellen Burstyn
15	Audrey Hepburn
16	Gregory Peck
17	James Stewart
18	Robert Duvall
19	Julianne Moore
20	Joaquin Phoenix
21	Humphrey Bogart
22	Clark Gable
23	Alec Guinness
24	Helen Mirren
25	George C. Scott
