Let's Make A Hollywood Hall of Fame!

Sports and Music both have Hall of Fames. Even some other organizations have a Hall of Fame. Hollywood does not. The closest they have is the Walk of Fame. So let’s create the first Hollywood Hall of Fame. It will be specifically for Directors, Actors, and Actresses. Let’s keep our first set of entrees to 5 per category. I have listed some criteria below. Who would you like to see in the Hollywood Hall of Fame?

 

Criteria:

-Sustained excellence over a minimum of 25 years

-Must have at least an Oscar nomination (winners preferred)

-Box office profitability taken into account

-Must have been a part of multiple iconic movies

-Each year would see a minimum of 1 and maximum of 5 people per category (our first induction will have 3 dead and 2 alive people in each category)

 

**Here are my first entrees into the Hollywood Hall of Fame (stats taken from IMDB.Com)
