I find it touching that the OP of this annual thread still follows the template I set 10+ years ago (when the examples of young celebs worth lots of points were Dakota Fanning, Abigail Breslin, and Willow Smith).

In 2021, you need to have a "live pool", where you get points for the oldest people who survive the year. Less nihilistic.
― Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 15:04 (three years ago) link
I can still make it nihilistic by nominating Donald Trump.
