Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was one of the Oscars that 'The Godfather' won?

Answer: Best Picture

"Entertainment Weekly" named this movie #1 in its book "The 100 Greatest Movies of All Time". Also, the horse head was real. Prop scouts found a horse in a New Jersey rendering plant scheduled for slaughter and had its head shipped in dry ice to the set.

2. What Oscar did 'Citizen Kane' win?

Answer: Best Original Screenplay

Based loosely on the life of William Randolph Hearst, Hearst did everything he could (like branding Orson Welles a communist in the pages of his many newspapers) to bury 'Citizen Kane'.

3. How many Oscars did 'Casablanca' win?

Answer: 3

'Casablanca' received 8 nominations. The three the film won were Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay. Producers initially considered Ronald Reagan for the character "Rick" - haha!

4. 'Chinatown', starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway, won which Oscar?

Answer: Best Original Screenplay

This film received 11 nominations, but only won for Best Original Screenplay. The thug who slices open Jack Nicholson's nose ("You know what happens to nosy fellas? Huh?") is director Roman Polanski.

5. To what film did 'Raging Bull' lose the Oscar for Best Picture?

Answer: Ordinary People

Robert DeNiro took home Best Actor for his part as Jake LaMotta. DeNiro prepared for the role by sparring with the real LaMotta for a full year and gave the former champ multiple black eyes, several smashed teeth and one cracked rib.
