  1. Still doesn't ring a bell. I doubt I've seen it. George
  2. I like doo-wop, but this one isn't coming to me. George
  3. Cary Elwes The Princess Bride Billy Crystal George
  4. Unlawful Entry Madeleine Stowe The Last of the Mohicans George
  5. Starsky and Hutch Owen Wilson Meet the Parents George
  6. Must be. Some "America" lyrics from WSS: I like to be in America Okay, buy me in America Everything free in America For a small fee in America George
  7. The Miracle Worker? That would be Anne Bancroft (1st) and Patty Duke (2nd) playing Annie Sullivan. George
  8. My problems here are two: At my age, the past gets conflated. I can't remember if something happened in the 80s, 90s, or "aughts." I don't know what pictures were Best Picture winners. Most BP winners were artsy-fartsy films. In fact, prior to this year's winner ("Everything, Everywhere, All at Once"), the last BP winner I saw before it won the award was "GANDHI."
  9. Mamma Mia! 2 had a couple of women playing Sophie, but I don't know if they were nominated for Oscars. George
  10. Reminds me of Land of 1000 Dances (Wilson Pickett); but I don't think this song has enough "na"s. George
  11. Name the actress. Mary Rose Foster Bonita Friml Barbara Stone George
  12. With the extra clue you gave in the Actors and Roles thread, I'm sure #2 is the Joker, with Heath Ledger and Joachin Phoenix winning awards. The two major "series' that I can think of in the 70s were Rocky and the Godfather. I suspect that #1 pertains to a character from the Godfather. Actors could have played an older and a younger version of one of the Corleones. Not actually having seen the movies (except for a few parts), I really couldn't say. #3 is probably also an older-younger duo. George
  13. Just bringing these to one page: Three-part question, and you gotta get all three (otherwise, what's the fun?) 1. Only twice in Oscars history have two actors won for playing the same character. The first time, it was the same character in the same movie series. Name the actors and the role. 2. The second time, it was the same character in different interpretations (one actor's version of the character had no bearing on the other's). Name the actors and the role. 3. There was one instance in which two actresses were nominated for playing the same character in the same movie. Neither actress won, but the movie did very well that night. Name the actresses and EITHER the role or the movie. Q. 1: The awards were given in the 1970s Q. 2: The awards were given in the 21st Century Q. 3: The nominations were in the 1990s
  14. We need a coffee-spew emoji... George
  15. I've got some ideas, but I certainly won't get all three without a lot more help. The fact that I haven't watched the Academy Awards since the 80's makes it a bit more difficult. George
  16. One of my old coworkers used to a thin Oscar lineup as a "Marisa Tomei kind of year." Was she good in "My Cousin Vinnie"? Sure, but hardly a star turn. Her competition that year weren't lightweights (Miranda Richardson, Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Plowright, and Judy Davis); but I don't know how good they were in their roles. (I haven't seen any of those movies.) I like her best as Spider-Man's hot aunt. George
  17. I thought that the 3-day rule applied only to Triple Movie Links (probably because it's the only thread where the poster can't add clues over time). On the other hand, Raf is already counting himself out, Nathan seems to have gone, and it's unlikely that Human will get this without the ridiculously easy names, let me post them. If Human gets it, he can go ahead. If not, I'll go. Jared Leto Cesar Romero Jack Nicholson Joachin Phoenix Mark Hamill George
  18. I googled Cameron Monaghan's photo. So, yes, I recognize him and I'm pretty sure I know the role. Am I disqualified? George
