"Monster's Ball"? George

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."

Mamma Mia! 2 had a couple of women playing Sophie, but I don't know if they were nominated for Oscars. George

Reminds me of Land of 1000 Dances (Wilson Pickett); but I don't think this song has enough "na"s. George

Name the actress. Mary Rose Foster Bonita Friml Barbara Stone George

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

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

We need a coffee-spew emoji... George

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

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

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

I googled Cameron Monaghan's photo. So, yes, I recognize him and I'm pretty sure I know the role. Am I disqualified? George

Maybe another clue or two? George

"Dallas" ran from 1978 to 1991. That includes 1978 to 1989, I suppose, but it's a bit misleading. No problem with Lind Gray's legs, though. George

It is. "I pity the fool" is often associated with BA Baracus of the A-Team, but that character never said it. (I don't know if Mr. T used it elsewhere.) George

I can't think of a show that ran for that specific period. Just not getting it. George

With Ted Knight in there, it has to be a character who would have appeared in a cartoon in the 60s or 70s. That would eliminate, say, Doomsday or Bane. Brainiac? George

Sounds familiar. George

Not really helpful additions... George

George

Joan Collins? George

Yes. George

Late 60s, model,(later) TV icon. Helpful, but not ringing any bells. Can't be Mary Tyler Moore, who was already famous from the Dick van Dyke show. Marlo Thomas? George

I stand corrected. To be honest, I didn't check the timeline. I just seemed to remember the TV role first. George

Gonna be correct. George
