The Oscars

The following image sequence is of every Academy Award winner for acting that has won 2 or more awards or has been nominated 5 or more times.  In most instances it's both.  Alternating between female and male from top left to bottom right.  In order of awards won, nominations, surname.  Starting with Katharine Hepburn (4 wins, 12 nominations) and ending with Irene Dunne (5 nominations).  Note there have been more female multi-winner/nominees than male.

The image will be updated (if need be) after the 2010 Academy Awards in March.

This piece is a beautifully rendered, completely computer generated film.  Don't believe me? Check out the composition breakdowns.  Still don't believe me? Then there's the making of.  Alex took a year off to make it.  It was definitely worth while.
