[Phydeault]

Who was the first woman nominated for Best Director, and for what film was she nominated?

Isn't it Lina Wertmuller for "7 Beauties" in the mid-70's

[Coolkid]

By the way, it's British not Brittish. /ubb/smile.gif

[JoBlo]

CoolKid...let's not get into grammatical and spelling checks on this board. Otherwise, the whole board would be full of comments as such. As long as folks are trying to use the proper punctuation and capitalizing their sentences (and creating sentences!), I don't think there is any need for a spell-checker.

Let's stick to MOVIES and the topic at hand, which is a GREAT one! Quentin rocks with movie trivia...

[QUENTIN]

Why yes it was Lina for Seven Beauties in 1976.

Thanx Jo, why don't you try your hand at it a little? I'm sure you could come up with some answers.

The replacement question:

What Hollywood family has the most generations of Oscar winners in their immediate family?

[Kal]

Corleone family

[JoBlo]

I wish I could, Quentin, but I suck at this kind of stuff! I guess I could NEVER be an actor, since my memory BLOWS!!

But I'll take a shot at your last question anyway...is it the Fondas?

[QUENTIN]

Well nice try at it Jo, but sorry Kal got it.

Vito Corleone (Old) won best actor twice for On The Waterfront and none other than The Godfather.

Vito Corleone (Young) won best actor for Raging Bull and best supporting actor for The Godfather II.

Michael Corleone won best actor for Scent of A Woman.

Honorary Corleone member Tom Hagen won best actor for Tender Mercies.

Kay Adams Corleone won best actress for Annie Hall.

But seriously, all of the questions are still up for grabs. Keep playing Movie Trivia Extravanganza! into the new year...

[QUENTIN]

[This message has been edited by QUENTIN (edited 02-06-2001).]

[Kal]

From what film is the line "Some people just don't like to celebrate human tragedy while on vacation."?

Roger & Me, I think

What film won Best Picture at the 1997 Cesar awards?

Dunno

Who was the first person to speak audibly in a film?

Chaplin or Fatty Arbuckle?

Name all the African-American actors and directors to have won at the Academy Awards.

I think, Denzel Washington (Glory), Whoopi Goldberg (Ghost) and Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire)

[QUENTIN]

Yes it was Roger & Me for the quote.

Sorry, neither Chaplin nor Fatty Arbuckle are correct.

All of those named did win, but not all who won were named, so sorry, the question remains.


Replacement Question:

(for OBzilla) What actors played Che Guevara and Fidel Castro in the 1969 movie Che?

[Kal]

and Sidney Poiter (haha he has slipped up by revealing the answer in my oscar topic har!har!)

[Terminator]

First person to speak audibly in a movie - Al Jolsen in The Jazz Singer, I believe.

[QUENTIN]

Kal got another, still not all.

Termy, you are correct sir.

Replacement Q:

What two films were originally rated NC-17 based strictly on language?

[loner]

I think Clerks and Kids

[QUENTIN]

You're half right...

[loner]

how about Whore?

[loner]

or was it Dice Rules

[mafia]

Haddy McDaniel (absolutely not sure of the spelling!) was an African American who won an Oscar too. And as far as I can think of, no African American director ever won an Oscar......? Spike Lee was nominated..

[doctor drew]

Q,

I'm pretty sure it was South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut...

(if that's wrong, it's gotta be Pulp Fiction)

[armyofmonkeys]

i dont think South Park was rated NC-17. and I think KIDS had more than just language but that is probably one.

[QUENTIN]

Clerks is one. Pulp Fiction was never considered for NC-17. Dice Rules is NC-17. South Park: B, L, U was considered for NC-17, but not for language. Whore is not. KIDS was to be rated NC-17, but again not for language it was released unrated...

[loner]

Wasn't the other one the concert film that Martin Lawrence did? I think it was called YOU SO CRAZY or something like that.

[QUENTIN]

No the Martin Lawrnece concert film You So Crazy is NC-17 for language and sexual content. There were ones that were considered but after appeals released as R.

[bmain77]

I'm thinking the other film that was NC-17 for its language was Orazmo.
