Mandatory Red Carpet Lineup Poll!
P.S. In case you've forgotten about our Oscar doll fantasy (You haven't, right?) the whole collection is embedded after the jump. Just think - there's only one more Oscar season to go to complete the decade in film !!! Then we can do all sorts of silly stuff with statistics...
Well, not that we don't already but it will be much easier with percentages, being a 10 year block.
The big question looking over this huge block of lovelies is who is back next year to up her count? The leader this decade is Meryl Streep (5 times) with Amy Adams & Jennifer Lawrence tied for runner up in ubiquity (4 times). The three women vying for third place for the decade: Michelle Williams, Octavia Spencer, and Emma Stone (3 each). Will any of those six women be back for 2019 or will the returnees be more surprising?

We could stare at this for hours... and obviously have as this takes time in Photoshop. But here's a final question to make this comments section particularly robust (stop, Nathaniel, stop. There's already so much to discuss).
