Here's a quiz to test your memory.

Can you recall the movie titles that feature

- at least three (3) past or future Oscar Best Actor/Actress winners; OR

- at least five (5) past or future Oscar acting award (Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress) winners?

(An actor who has won both Leading and Supporting Awards is counted as a Leading Award winner.)


A few more constraints,

- Excluding members of voice cast or narrators (i.e., the actor has to appear in the film in-person)

- Excluding appearances in archival footages

- For anthological films, the group of actors must appear in the same segment or the same story (if it's a cross-segment one).
(e.g. CALIFORNIA SUITE casts 2 Best Actresses and 3 Best Supporting Actors/Actresses but they appear in different segments, hence disqualified.)

I've recalled the following titles,
(s = supporting award winner)

(I think I haven't watched sufficient Hollywood classics to identify oldies that fit the requirements.)

THE PLAYER (5 leading + 4 supporting award winners)
- Tim Robbins (s)
- Whoopi Goldberg (s)
