The Lounge movie quiz! - Page 8 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

O'toole has more norms than Richard Burton without a win?

O'Toole was not nominated for The Last Emperor. He was nominated for My Favorite Year, The Stunt Man, and some indie movie a couple of years ago. Also, a movie from the 60s where he plays a Jesus like figure who might be crazy

You said "name an actor" so you weren't at fault

Woody Allen is also an actor. Maybe it's a little nitty, but a fair question, imo.

Meh, I disagree

Plenty of people do multiple things but if the question says 'name an actor' then you should only be thinking about woody as an actor and if it says 'name a director' then it only wants woody's directing to be considered

The reason I asked if it was a trick question is b/c he didn't specify which category the Oscar was won.

If he said it was for acting then I wouldn't have made that post.

I think my answer was perfectly valid with the way the question was worded.

The only answers id accept for a question like "name an actor that won 2 oscars" would be people that won 2 oscars for some combo of best actor and best supporting actor...winning for directing or writing or makeup wouldn't count IMO

Paul Bettany married her? Damn I didn't know that. She's an angel and he's... Paul. Bettany. Dude must have a third leg or something.

It's surprising that the only Hammer alums that fit this bill are Lee and Cushing.

It's also interesting that by 2014 Vin Diesel with have Fast & Furious and Riddick (Pitch Black was the first), and if they go in for a third XXX movie with him (second is on its way) he'll have 3 series. Crazy.

I could have sworn there were 3 XXX movies and Vin Diesel was in 2 of them. Upon checking imbd, I'm very mistaken. Maybe the first one was just so tedious that I thought there were two?
