A Puzzling Post Goes to the Oscars

In celebration of the glittering, glamorous Oscar celebration last Sunday, I have created a picture puzzle containing 28 actors and actresses that have been declared "The Best" over the history of the Academy Awards.  How many can you recognize?  If that's too easy, can you name the film for which they won and the year - or at least the decade?  

This is just for fun - there's no prize for being the biggest Cinema Geek.  So Google all you want, consult your neighbors, or read other people's answers in the comments.  Complete answers - actor, film, year - will be posted on Wednesday.  On with the show!

    I think I can name about 19 of them. The old classics I don't know very well by name.

    I think I am not much of a modern day cinema geek. I can name more from your collage that I could of those at this year's Oscar gala. I think I knew 20 from your puzzle but that double counts somebody who may be there twice...?. Name the movie... mmm, maybe. Name the year... hah, fat chance! This is fun though. Thanks for the post! You read so much, how do you have time for movies? I saw none of the one that were nominated.

      Yes, one actor is there twice because he won twice - can you name the movies?

    One of these days I won't be so late. I know all of the actors and at least half of the movies. So fun. If you are interested in making a quiz for my blog on an upcoming Tuesday let me know. I'm sure everyone would would a change of pace!
