Puzzle Description:

Charlie Chaplin

I know: He don't fit the theme correctly. But Charlie has done so many great movies and never won a "real" oscar. what a shame! They gave him only an oscar for the score of "Limelight".

A little edge logic at the bottom helps but really isn't necessary. I solved completely with line logic but have to admit that there were a couple points at which I was in blank stare mode before something clicked. The middle portion was a lot of work. All in all a nice image and so worth the effort.

As far as Chaplin and the academy awards are concerned - the movie with Robert Downey Jr. was nominated for several awards and Chaplin the actor also received an honarary lifetime achievement Oscar (well deserved!) near the end of his life. I think this qualifies for the category.

I agree with Martin on this plus deven if it was just for the score of Lemilight an Oscar is an Oscar

John Williams got several of these for "scoring" movie and everybody know him as one of the great musicien of his time

Ditto #4. I don't know how you can solve this WITHOUT edge logic. I did it on the bottom 2 rows, and on the top 2 rows.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Fun puzzle. I found the image a bit weak.
