No, it is pretty much impossible. He is a pretty terrible actor, and doesn't have an ounce of the performing talent that Madonna has (not that she has a lot of acting ability).criddic3 wrote:MovieWes wrote:Better than me Magilla.

It's possible for Reeves to be nominated some day. He's not a bad actor, after all.

This was kinda fun research. I was reminded that I share a birthday with Jackie Robinson, Norman Mailer, Franz Schubert, Ernie Banks, Nolan Ryan, Johnny Rotten and Robert Ford, the Coward who carried out The Assasination Of Jesse James. Getting into the film business, we have Zane Grey, whose novels were the source of many Westerns. There is also Daniel Moder, hubby of Oscar winner Julia Roberts, and John Agar, the first husband of Special Oscar recipient Shirley Temple. And born on the exact same day as myself was porn star Sweety Pie, aka Dixie Down.
Below is a list of Oscar nominees/winners. OG, feel free to add to it or correct it as you see fit. Not sure if I goth this right.
-Jean Simmons
-Carol Channing (I'll bet her acceptance speech would have been fun.)
-Minnie Driver
-Philip Glass
-Paul Jabara (won for writing the song "Thank God It's Friday")
-Theodore Soderberg (six-time nominee for best sound)
-Lynn Carlin
-Bud Thackery
-Eddie Cantor (Special Oscar for contributions to film)
Added by OG:
Lynn Carlin
Carol Channing
Minnie Driver

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving. It's faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes a life worth living. Oliver Wendell Holmes

I had a couple of minor errors in my spreadsheet which I have no corrected, so the below data (on individuals on individual birthdays) is correct. However, the original data I posted does have some errors in it. I'll update it whenever I put it into use on my site.
