Iggy Pop, Oscars 2002

Before Oscarcast 2002 numbed our butts with its record-breaking running time, it got off to a jaunty start, thanks to documentarian Errol Morris. His four-minute, 15-second film featured an eclectic mix of folks — a lot of whom we recognized but couldn’t always place — ruminating on their favorite movie moments. Thanks to some help from Morris’ office in Boston, EW.com offers a complete list of the 99 testamonalists for your re-viewing pleasure.
