Bummer. My second hit here, but both fortunately from the bottom of my list.

Hadn't voted in this one yet. Going for Carter... Rosalynn.

These last six months have been truly massive for big world leader deaths (and for celebrity deaths overall). The Queen, Pope Benny, Gorbachev and (soon) Jimmy Carter all gone.

Had Burt here, but fortunately only at 23rd place.

Can't find any obituaries on the internet yet but it seems true, as far as I know she'd been in failing health for a while and there's apparently an obituary in the Demokraatti newspaper.
Ancient anti-NATO defence minister Taisto Tähkämaa is now the oldest former Finnish minister and member of parliament, 99 in December and has been in a care home for years (also one of my Electoral DP picks)
Someone on Finnish Wikipedia found Luja-Penttilä's Demokraatti obituary and apparently she died back on 18th November 2022. Still no online obits anywhere.

Congrats Daredevil! Well played.
I'm pleasantly surprised with my 4th place. Didn't expect to rank that high, seeing as I only managed to predict three newcomers correctly and had just MacGowan on correct place.

Bit of a boring Top 10.
I like that they brought Woodward, Nelson, Nolan and Ono back. Harris, Sakamoto and Rollins are decent additions. I'm surprised Roberta Flack wasn't included.
Whale, Kaczynski and Hurd are risky drops, I also think Attenborough should've been kept. Pleased they dropped Akihito, but Cheney making it again is a bit baffling.

- James Whale
- Denis Law
- Noam Chomsky
