Oscar Pop Quiz

February 20, 2015

Sharpen your pencils Oscar fans!  The Academy Awards are on this Sunday night and The Wry Home is having an Oscar pop quiz.  With a prize.

I LOVE this show!

I almost saw all of the best picture nominees.  Missed Whiplash and Selma, but made it to the others.

My quiz is in only six of the categories.  Whoever gets the most answers right, will get a little Oscar goodie in the mail.  Just jot down your answers in the comments section at the end of this blog post by 6pm on Sunday EST.

The categories are as follows:

BEST PICTURE

American Sniper

The Theory of Everything

Whiplash

Boyhood

The Imitation Game

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Birdman

I am between two movies that start with a B.

Bradley Cooper ~ American Sniper

Benedict Cumberbatch ~ The Imitation Game

BEST DIRECTOR

Alejandro G. Inarritu ~ Birdman

I missed The Judge and Two Days, One Night too, but more snow and freezing temps could lead to some weekend on-demanding.

I’m leaning towards a couple of dark horses this year. I’ve also told my husband (who’s INSISTING on watching with me) that if he even SPEAKS during the Oscars, he’ll be banished from the room. Here goes:
Best Picture: Birdman
Best Actor: Michael Keaton
Best Actress: Julianne Moore
BSActor:

Ummm…I WASN’T FINISHED!
BSActor: JK Simmons
BSActress: Laura Dern
Best Director: Richard Linklater

I loved everything about “American Sniper”, did not like “Selma” and thought “Gone Girl” was awful. I also love anything Wes Anderson does and thought Ralph Fiennes was hilarious. Emma Stone is too skinny.

Husbands may not speak during the show. Although, I wish you were on this coast so WE could watch together! I am also leaning towards some dark horses, but will let you know Sunday 🙂

We 5 in the sunny island of Vieques predict the following :
Imitation Game
Rosamund Pike
Eddie Redmayne
Laura Dern
Edward Norton (although I would like a certain Dreamy one to win)
Imitation Game
We expect to win because of family connections, and we expect 5 prizes, and the best ones. As real Americans we expect prizes, even if we lose!
Love, Melinda and 4 fabulous friends.
Good blog!

Wow, I like the “family connections” angle! Good luck and 5 prizes will be forthcoming if you all come close. Some nice choices Vieques!

I have loved design ever since I painted my bedroom walls high-gloss lime green in the fourth grade. A lifelong hobby, mixing low cost items with a few pricier pieces thrown in, has become The Wry Home. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t!
