<p style="text-align:start;" size="1" _root="[object Object]" __ownerid="undefined" __hash="undefined" __altered="false">The five top-earning Oscar nominated actors this year made a combined $41 million over the past 12 months—less than half of the $87.5 million the highest-paid actor Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) earned last year. Only one of them, Viola Davis, made last year’s lists of top-earning actors or actresses, and it was thanks to her television role on <em>How To Get Away With Murder</em>, not her nominated starturn in <em>Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.</em></p>
