Just before the Oscars, this is the O.S.C.A.R.S, and it's not a typo since the acronym stands for... Oscar Survey Collecting Actors' Random Stats.

What do I mean by 'random stats'? Well simply everything you wanted (or didn't know you wanted) to know about the Oscar... nominations and wins for acting, and (while not afraid to ask) just didn't have the time to look for because well, you have a life.

Anyway, such data as demographics, generational milestones, names and characters' trivia, line-ups and odds, are now available, and if it took some cinematic-datamaniac to get this done, well, here they are. And it was such an exhausting job, it needed to be divided in three parts, starting with the Overviews.

This is more of a trivia thing disguised as a poll, let's face it, but we can make it a little more fun and challenging, so here's the question: which of these stats did you find the most interesting, useful, fascinating, mindblowing or mildly amusing? Well, which one did you prefer?

"I focused on information that are less likely to be found on other websites, this is why I didn't stuff the texts with other links or infos. And please, keep in mind there might be a very small margin of error (but no less than +1/-1) Have a good read and a great fun ... And I take this opportunity to thank Wikipedia, Excel, and of course, Excel, that made everything possible"

Well, all good things come to an end. So, we come to the final part of the Oscar Survey Collecting Actors' Random Stats and probably the juiciest one: the line-ups. 

What makes the line-ups so interesting is that there's no real pattern, except for the category and the gender, but apart from that, any actor from any age, can be nominated and win. But after 88 years, some line-ups stand out and become more memorable. Some patterns even appear and can help for a few predictions.

But overall, the premise is also to rediscover the great actors and actresses who walked on the red carpet, dreamt in gold, and got a few statuettes back home over the course of their careers. 

But each poll needs a question, and the question is: which of these line-ups do you find the coolest or most interesting?
