A distinctive look at the Academy Awards, the focus of this book is the Top 100 onscreen performers in Oscar history, determined by the number of acting nominations and wins per performer. The specific formula and tie-breaking rubric are fully explained in the book. Also includes biographies of the top twenty onscreen performers in Academy Awards history. Further sub-groupings of note Top Romantic Couples (Spencer Tracy + Katharine Hepburn) Top Families (the Fondas - Henry, Jane, Peter) Top Box Office Oscar Winners (Heath Ledger, "The Dark Knight") Top Acting Nominees Who Have Been Nominated for Other Academy Awards (there are 40 of them in total) Top Oscar Performers by Decade. Additionally, there is a catalogue of all acting nominees who have ever appeared as a regular character on a television program through the years, including a sub-grouping of Soap Operas (soap with the most Oscar nominees on its roster?
