You're missing a lot of people. Like, a lot. Hattie McDaniel (Gone With the Wind) won an academy award as far back as 1940.Unless your list wasn't meant to be comprehensive.
Good thing the Oscars aren't only representative of actors in the U.S. then, huh?
additionally, you would have to alter the result based on the genre of the movies (comedy is never Oscar-material).

Though rare, some comedies have indeed won best picture--most notably, Annie Hall, and Birdman from last year.(i mean, you could argue comedy has to be infused with another more lofty genre, like drama or romance, but still)And that's not including comedies that have won, or at least been nominated for, Oscars in other categories.otherwise, you make a good point
