You’re #1! You’re #1!
The word ‘technically’ is doing some heavy lifting there! 
Me too, and only three days after entering my first Death Pool! Whoo-hoo!!!
I accept these awards on behalf of all the little people that assisted me in my ascension to the top. Especially those I’m standing on top of right now.
You forgot to mention Youngblood.
Damn. I was this close to going with a “Celebrities whose names are slightly misspelled weather phenomena” theme.
Re: phungi’s stats - everyone should hope I do well. If I do well, chances are you’ll do well. The majority of my picks are in the top three or four categories.
They’re going to have to rewrite that line in the song “I Believe” from “The Book of Mormon”.
Also:
Dick Cheney (5 picks) and Richard Cheney (1 pick) are (I assume) the same person.
“Tome” Sizemore is Tom Sizemore, so those single picks should be combined into one “two-timer”.
Qwami Wallen (1 pick) should be combined with Quincy Jones (2 picks) - - unless, of course, one of those who submitted “Quincy Jones” meant the producer born in 1933, as opposed to the comedian who debuted on the world stage in 1984.
Appreciate the proofing. Fixed Akihito, Ali Khamemei, Cheney, Sizemore, and Jones
Let me know if you find any more
Billy Graham (4 picks) and Rev. Billy Graham (3 picks).
Former New Jersey Governor Brendan Byrne once said that when he died he wanted to be buried in Hudson County so he could remain active in politics. He now gets the chance.
Anyone familiar with the history of NJ politics will get the joke.
Here are some duplicates:
[ul]
[li]Leon White and Big Van Vader (same person)[/li][li]Catherin Nevin vs. Catherine Nevin[/li][li]Mark E Smith vs. Mark Edward Smith[/li][li]Stephen Bannon vs. Steve Bannon[/li][li]Stephen Hawking vs. Steven Hawking[/li][/ul]
Also, James Buldger should probably be James Bulger, or really Whitey Bulger. Emporess Michiko should be Empress Michiko, or just Michiko (to match whichever way you went with Akihito).

Dang! I’ll take Missed Opportunities for $500, Alex.
Where is Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Alex?
Man, that’s cold!
And funny.
Thanks. Looks like we have both:
Mark E Smith (musician) AND
Mark Edward Smith (actor)
