Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following was nominated twice in the same year, playing the same part?

Answer: Barry Fitzgerald

Fitgerald won a Supporting Actor award for 'Going My Way'. But he was also nominated for Lead Actor, too. Bing Crosby, his co-star, won that one.
2. Which of these actors was not nominated for their acting in 'From Here To Eternity'?

Answer: Ernest Borgnine

Reed and Sinatra won in the Supporting categories. Kerr, oddly, never did win an Oscar but was nominated several times. Borgnine finally won his for 'Marty'.
3. Charlton Heston won an acting award after how many nominations?

Answer: 1

His first nomination, and won it, was for 'Ben Hur'.
4. Joan Crawford nailed her last Best Actress nomination for 'Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?'

5. I was in 'Tootsie' but got my Oscar for 'Out Of Africa'. Who am I?

Answer: Sydney Pollack

He acted in 'Tootsie' but got his award for directing for 'Out Of Africa'.
6. Richard Gere, my co-star who I reportedly detested, was good for something. He helped get me a Best Actress nomination in our film together. Who am I?

Answer: Debra Winger

For 'An Officer And A Gentleman'.
7. I got my Oscar for 'The Color Purple'. Who am I?

Answer: None of these

A very good film, in my opinion, that won no awards.
8. We are the actresses who won our statues for giving performances that took up less screen time than any of the other winners in history (less ten minutes). Who are we?

Answer: Beatrice Straight & Dame Judi Dench

While most sources say that Dench ("Shakespeare In Love") was visible the shortest there are still some other sources that say Miss Straight ("Network") was. Inarguably, they both had the shortest amount of screen time; somewhere up to and less than 10 minutes. Needless to say, they both won for Best Supporting Actress.
9. I got my statue playing an unwed mother who meets the son she gave up for adoption when he is a young man. Who am I?

Answer: Olivia DeHavilland

'To Each His Own'....
10. I had a fake limp and a big plan. And I won an Oscar for it! What actor am I?

Answer: Kevin Spacey

Spacey played the part in 'The Usual Suspects'---all the others won as well in the Best Supporting Actor category. But none of them limped.
