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
Selma
Birdman
I am between two movies that start with a B.
BEST ACTRESS
Marion Cotillard ~ Two Days, One Night
Reese Witherspoon ~ Wild
Felicity Jones ~ The Theory of Everything
Julianne Moore ~ Still Alice
Rosamund Pike ~ Gone Girl
I know Julianne is the favorite, but I am leaning towards another…
BEST ACTOR
Steve Carell ~ Foxcatcher
Bradley Cooper ~ American Sniper
Benedict Cumberbatch ~ The Imitation Game
Michael Keaton ~ Birdman
Eddie Redmayne ~ The Theory of Everything
He deserves this one!
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Meryl Streep ~ Into the Woods
Laura Dern ~ Wild
Patricia Arquette ~ Boyhood
Emma Stone ~ Birdman
Kiera Knightly ~ The Imitation Game
12 years of devotion, well done.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Mark Ruffalo ~ Foxcatcher
Ethan Hawke ~ Boyhood
J.K. Simmons ~ Whiplash
Robert Duvall ~ The Judge
Edward Norton ~ Birdman
My movie crush is in this category.
BEST DIRECTOR
Alejandro G. Inarritu ~ Birdman
Richard Linklater ~ Boyhood
Bennett Miller ~ Foxcatcher
Wes Anderson ~ Grand Budapest Hotel
Morten Tyldum ~ The Imitation Game
His creativity should win him an Oscar.
I missed The Judge and Two Days, One Night too, but more snow and freezing temps could lead to some weekend on-demanding.
Good luck. Enjoy the Academy Awards. Check my Facebook page (link below) at 7pm Sunday EST for my Oscar picks. I will announce the winner(s) in my blog post next week. Please check-in so I can get your e-mail to send you the gift!
