Poll: 2022-02-22: The -Two, Twice and Second- Oscar Poll
Today is the twenty-second day of the second month of 2022.
That means if we close our eyes on the "zero", such a profusion of "2"s won't be found on the calendar until the same day in 200 years. And in France where dates are written on a two-digit basis, some will find a certain delight in writing 22/2/22. Anyway, this calls for a celebration.
"Two" can have different meanings, it doubles the merit of the doer when the achievement is done twice or attenuates it if he's the second to do it. Since we're in the middle of the Oscar race, let's combine the two significances of "two" and dedicate it to the most remarkable Oscar achievements in their second occurrence... and that have something to do with number "two".
Naturally, we're not asking for your favorite achievement (that would be too easy), but to stay consistent with the purpose of this poll, for your second favorite. Which of these 22 achievements would you pick?
