Who was the youngest actress to receive three Oscar nominations? (She was 26.)
Janet Gaynor for Sunrise (1927/28), Street Angel (1927/28) and Seventh Heaven (1927/28) nut she was 22 !!
Whoops! Good catch, hiama. Well, let me re-phrase that question...
Who was the youngest actress to receive three Oscar nominations in three separate years?
Took me a while, think I'm there though.
If I had used a bit of Sense and Sensibility and opened my Iris I would have been spared a Titanic struggle-KATE WINSLET !
No problem, took me a while though .
How about this one :-
Which movie or movies have had the most Oscar nominations without a single loss ?
I'll guess Ben Hur and Titanic because they both won 11 Oscars.
Nope but good guess Ben Hur had 12 nominations so lost one and Titanic with 14 nominations was even more careless and lost 3 !
Hiama: Here's another guess for the nominations: The Last Emperor
Cuckoo's Nest?,One Flew Over the
Raggedy got one-The Last Emperor with 9 out of 9, the only other film also got 9 out of 9 and was quite a few years earlier.
Can you guess it ?
Good guess Larry but no, that got 5 out of 5 which is less than the 9 out of 9 achieved by The Last Emperor and the other film whch no one has guessed correctly yet.
Remeber the question was :
Which movie or movies have had the MOST Oscar nominations without a single loss ?
I know, but I'm doing this from my prodigious Oscar memory! (He jokes
)
How about Gigi?
:wink: What took you so long- Correct- 9 out of 9 for GIGI and 10 out of 10 for you
Which Best Picture winners have the shortest and longest running times?
Equus: My guess for the longest is Gone With the Wind.
The shortest - Maybe, Marty.
Great question equus. Could be Gone... or could be Lawrence of A., I'll go with The Last Emperor. English Patient merely SEEMED like the longest. The shortest I have no idea, how about Annie Hall, Woody's movies are often under 1:30. I think both my answers are wrong, I'll mull some more.
