Thursday's Oscar Trivia Answers

By Brad Belote

All this week KSPR is giving away two tickets to Oscar Night America, the Ozarks biggest Academy Award watch party.

Watch KSPR News at 4:30 and 10:00 p.m. Be the first person with the correct answer to an Oscar trivia question and you'll win a free movie and popcorn from the Moxie Cinema. At the end of the week, we'll put all 10 winners in a drawing for two tickets to Oscar Night America.


"The Departed" won the Best Picture Oscar last year. "Little Miss Sunshine," "The Queen," "Letters from Iwo Jima," and "Babel" were also nominated.

Tatum O'Neal won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award in 1973 for "Paper Moon." She was just 10 years old at the time. But Shirley Temple was only six when she received an honorary Oscar in 1934. Other prepubescent recipients include Anna Paquin (age 11) in 1993, Vincent Winter (age 7) in 1954 and Margaret O'Brien (age 8) in 1944.



Wednesday's Oscar trivia questions dealt with superlatives. The most nominated film and the most nominated actress. First the film. Two films have the distinction of earning 14 Academy Award nominations: Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950).

Katherine Hepburn is Oscar's golden girl with four wins on 12 nominations, all for Best Actress. But Meryl Streep has two more nominations on her resume, three for Best Supporting Actress and 11 for Best Actress.



Tuesday afternoon's question asked who has hosted the Oscars the most times. Billy Crystal was a very popular answer and a good guess. He's been the Academy Award emcee eight times. But he'll need a few more spins to match Bob Hope who hosted the Oscars 18 times.

Tuesday night we asked who has won the most Academy Awards. Tom Hanks has two. Katherine Hepburn won four during her career. But Walt Disney piled up 26 Academy Awards.



Monday afternoon's question asked who is the most nominated actor. That's Jack Nicholson, who has 11 nominations (Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces, The Last Detail, Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest*, Reds, Terms of Endearment*, Prizzi's Honor, Ironweed, A Few Good Men, As Good As It Gets*, and About Schmidt).

Monday night's question asked what was the first animated film nominated for Best Picture. Fantasia, The Lion King and Shrek -- all good guesses. But it was Disney's Beauty and the Beast that has the distinction of being the first (and so far only) animated film in the running for Oscar's biggest prize. It will likely be the only film to ever be nominated in that category. In 2001, the Academy created a separate category for feature-length animated films, giving the Academy an outlet to honor such memorable films as Finding Nemo and Happy Feet.
