| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 18 12:40AM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2017-10-23, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of Smith & Guessin' and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2017-09-25 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 5, Round 7 - Entertainment - It's an Honor Just to be Nominated First off, in this round honorary awards do not count, and all years mentioned are the dates of the movie's release, not the Oscar ceremony. 1. Walt Disney holds the record for Oscar nominations with 59. In second place is composer John Williams. He's won 5 Oscars -- but *how many nominations* has Williams received in all, for such films as "Jurassic Park" and "Superman" as well as various "Star Wars", Indiana Jones, and Harry Potter movies? Answer within 2 nominations. 2. Meryl Streep is the runaway acting nomination leader with 20, and the leading acting loser with 17 -- you may remember our recent round on some of the actresses who beat her. Name any of the 3 movies that she did win for. And now, on to total losers. Lovers of Oscar lore know that many top actors and actresses have *never* won a competitive Oscar. For questions #3-10, we'll name some of those stars, we'll tell you how many times they lost, and will give the dates of their first and last nominated movies. You just have to name *any one movie* they were nominated for, either for a lead or a supporting role. 3. Peter O'Toole: The all-time loser, with 8 nominations and no wins between 1962 and 2006 inclusive. (All dates given are the dates of the movies' release, not the Oscar ceremonies.) 4. Deborah Kerr ["Car"], who went 0-for-6 from 1949 to 1960. 5. Ed Harris: 4 nominations, no wins from 1995 to 2002. 6. Glenn Close: 0-for-6 like Deborah Kerr, from 1982 to 2011. 7. Richard Burton: right behind his buddy Peter O'Toole with 7 losses, from 1952 to 1977. 8. Albert Finney: 5 nominations from 1963 to 2000. 9. Amy Adams: 5 nominations from 2005 to 2013. 10. Warren Beatty: 4 losing acting nominations. He has 10 other nominations for writing, directing, and as producer of the Best Picture, and he did win one of those awards; but we're only asking about his acting nominations, from 1967 to 1991. * Game 5, Round 8 - Canadiana - The Tragically Hip 1. Name the graphic novel and musical concept album written by Gord Downie in 2016 that was made into an animated TV-movie of the same title. 2. The Tragically Hip's 2015 tour was based on, and named after, their fourth studio album. The previous year they had re-mastered and re-released this album, with two new tracks. Name the album. 3. The band was the subject of a documentary which debuted at the 2017 TIFF. It was slated to be televised in November 2017, but following Downie's death the network moved the broadcast up to October 20. Name it. 4. Name any other member of the band other than Gord Downie. 5. Within 1, how many Hip albums have reached #1 in Canada? 6. Within 1, how many Junos has the band won (not counting individual wins by Downie himself)? 7. The Tragically Hip were "discovered" by Bruce Dickinson, then president of MCA, at what Toronto venue in the mid-1980s? 8. In March 1995, the Tragically Hip had their only appearance on "Saturday Night Live". Gord Downie sang the opening line of their first song wrong, later claiming he did so because he was so nervous. Give either the correct line or the line that Downie actually sang. Please decode the rot13 for questions #9-10 only after you are finished with the rest of the round. 9.

That is > still not an excuse for answering with the country alone! I tried to recall the name, but at that point I drew a blank. I could only recall that it started with P and that it was fairly long. And with the modified version of the question, I said to myself "Hey, maybe the quiz masters recognized that, and therefore would let it do with the country alone". Maybe I would have thought harder if "city" had remained in the question. Oh well, it was the same for everyone. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
