**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, do not use the “list” function, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None**

2. Name an actor who has portrayed Count Dracula.

#7 I had to look up—I couldn’t think of any screen Churchills. Maybe a better character for the Feud would have been Superman, or Sherlock Holmes, or Santa Claus, or Death.

By the way, going by the picture [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alastair_Sim), when they make his biopic, they damn well better get Nicholas Cage to play him.

I don’t usually google these, but did this time (well, checked IMDb) – let’s see if it makes a difference. (Definitely went for a different answer for #4: My first thought was Anthony Hopkins, but I’m guessing the recent _Frost/Nixon_ will change things up.)

1. Sean Connery
2. Bela Legosi
3. Willem Dafoe
4. Frank Langella
5. Cate Blanchett
6. Christian Bale
7. Bob Hoskins
8. Raymond Massey
9. Alastair Sim
10. Hayden Christensen

#9, desperately wanted to say “Mr. Magoo” but decided against it.

Churchill was surprisingly difficult. Hardy played him in War and Remembrance and in a Churchill biopic.

I was tempted by both Glenn Beck and Hulk Hogan off the list of Abe Lincoln actors. Other notable names: Tom Hanks, Chris (Humperdink) Sarandon. Holbrook played him on the North & South miniseries.

ETA: and again I misread the room on a “safe” choice (Keaton). I figured the first good Batman would trump the current one.

And I guess I should have made sure that Neeson’s portrayal of Lincoln was actually completed before answering.

Shoulda gone to IMDB before Wikipedia.
