For my 2022 shadowlist, I made some horrific misses (Cribbins, Lynn, Zemin, Brown, Treacher and erhmm The Queen) but I still got 17/50 (Poitier, Krüger, Fenton, Vitti, Higgins, Bouquet, Pérez, Trintignant, Nichols, Gorbachev, Papas, Lansbury, Lee Lewis, Phillips, Pelé, Walters, Benedict), so I think those misses were worth it in the end, even if the actual DL had a higher celebrity quality hit list with a lower end score.
