FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever.

[Wichita Lineman]

Strike 2 for GOT as Lena Headey bows out early. Kevin Costner fans (like me) might be a bit surprised that he failed to get past Cameron Diaz. Carey Mulligan benefits from the casting vote rule and we had some abstentions thrown in too. Once again none of these 8 were nominated more than once.

Results - 
Shirley MacLaine 7 v 4  Andie McDowell
Michelle Yeoh 5 v 6 Carey Mulligan*
Kevin Costner 4 v 7 Cameron Diaz
Michael Shannon 6 v 4 Lena Headey

Sam Rockwell - Quote - "When I took acting classes and being drunk was the assigned impediment of the day, a lot of people would go out the night before and get drunk. That's not research! Research is going to bar... and drinking coffee." https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005377/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Michael Caine -    In 2016, at age 83, he finally changed his legal name from Maurice Micklewhite to Michael Caine.
