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

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).

January 31.

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
Philip Glass
Paul Jabara (Winner)
Gary A. Rizzo
Jean Simmons
Theodore Soderberg
Ellis J. Thackery

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.

That was the birthday of the grandmother who got me interested in movies. She was four years older to the day than Dashiell Hammett and died four years before he did.
