Did they win an Oscar or not? Take a guess for each of these actors and actresses!
On May 16, 1929, the first ceremony of the Oscars took place. With more than 300 actors being awarded through the years, it's a challenge to remember who got an award and who didn't.
This quiz will test your knowledge of the people who have won the Academy Award for their acting performances. It's not going to be as easy as you think…
Let's start the quiz with one of the queens of comedy: Sandra Bullock. Her character in 'Miss Congeniality' was really good, but could that role make her win an Oscar?
Sandra Bullock has won an Oscar but not for her role in 'Miss Congeniality.' In 2009, the actress won the Oscar for Best Actress for the movie 'The Blind Side,' beating other magnificent actresses like Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep on the way. In 2013, Bullock was nominated again for her role in 'Gravity.'
One of the best actresses of the 21st century. She is elegant and perfect and has been nominated four times for her work in 'Blue Valentine' (2010), 'My Week with Marilyn' (2011), 'Brokeback Mountain' (2015), and 'Manchester by the Sea' (2016). With what movie do you think the actress took home the award?
It was a trick question. She actually doesn't have one. Beating Meryl Streep in some of these Oscar competitions is not easy, so Michelle Williams is still waiting for her statue.
She was the protagonist of what many people consider one of the worst movies of all time: 'Catwoman' (2004). But leaving aside that failure, do you think Berry got any Oscars?
In 2002, Halle Berry won her first Oscar for her role as Leticia Musgrove in the movie 'Monster's Ball'. The transparent burgundy Elie Saab dress she wore that day is now part of the history of fashion.

Despite his 8 Oscar nominations, Bradley Cooper has won zero statues. After many projects and being one of the Academy's golden boys, the actor has still not been rewarded with an Oscar.
Jennifer Lawrence (1990) has been involved in many projects. She played Katniss Everdeen in 'The Hunger Games' Saga, Mystic in the 'X-Men' universe, and even Mother Earth in 'Mother'. But does she have an Oscar? Has she ever even been nominated?
Jennifer Lawrence has been nominated four times: three in the Best Actress category ('Winter's Bone', 'Silver Linings Playbook', 'Joy') and one for Best Supporting Actress ('American Hustle'). She ended up taking the Oscar home for her role in 'Silver Linings Playbook.'
Many people say that Saoirse Ronan is the new Meryl Streep, and we can see why. At 25, the actress has been nominated four times… But has she actually gotten an Oscar?
Her roles in 'Atonement' (2007), 'Brooklyn' (2015), 'Lady Bird' (2017), and 'Little Women’ (2019) didn't get her an Oscar.

Not once, not twice, but eight times has Glenn Close been nominated for an Oscar. It is easy to believe that must have won at least one, but has she?
