fyi this is impossible (only one male has won best actor or best supporting actor under the age of 29, and that was in 1980)

I assume hamster question was referring to the title. If yes, then this is my valid guess. If the question referred to the body of the page then scratch as this begins with E

5. Native speaker of a Germanic language

@QM: Sorry to be fussy but can you provide any evidence of Gene Hackman being a fluent / native German (or Germanic) speaker?

He was of German ancestry but that doesn't automatically mean he spoke the language. His attempt at a Polish accent in "A Bridge Too Far" is very corny and not very accurate.

I think that it's reasonable for the QM to assume he was a native speaker of English but idk I couldn't find any source on skim that specifically states it so maybe he wasn't

I did make the assumption based on birthplace, his parents last names, and his perfect accent.
