Trivia about Movies, TV, Music, or anything to do with anything.

The Shining with Nicholson and Shelley Duvall?

Sorry George, but you're getting way off track.  Sylvester Stallone has never won an acting Oscar and Shelly Duvall either. 

Your off with Five Easy Pieces.  Karen Black no Oscar winner.   Hint:  Michael Douglas won an Oscar for his part in one of the movies.

My clue may have led you astray George.  Michael Douglas didn't win an Oscar for acting.  He did win it for his part (directing, production, writing; et cetera) in the movie.

Outside of you and me George, waysider somewhat, were the only ones playing right now.  If someone else came across this trivia, I think they may see it right away.  Okay, you got two, but there are two really obvious movies that I know we use on the other threads all the time.  I'll hold out another day or two and if you or someone else doesn't get it I'll move on.

Okay it's been more than a few days.  So lets give it up.  A couple of no-brainers I'm afraid were obvious I think,  "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975) (Jack Nicholson, Louise Fletcher), and of course "Silence of the Lambs" (1991) (Anthony Hopkins and Jodi Foster).  George you got two others, "It Happened One Night"  and the other Jack Nicholson movie, "As Good As it Gets" (1997).  "Network" came the year after "One Flew" ,(Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway).  Last on the list is "On Golden Pond" (1981) (Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn) winning both the acting Oscars.

Okay now, there are only three movies in Cinematic history to win three Acting Oscars for the same movie.  Guess one?

No, not really.  One of them was "Network" with one supporting actress.  Just kidding.   Let's open it up to a FREE POST.

Everybody knows that Alaska and Hawaii were the 49th and 50th states admitted to the Union.  What were the 47th and 48th?  (OK if you get them out of order.)

Just the day before yesterday, I ran across something about how President Taft was in office in 1912 when Arizona became the 48th state.  I'm thinking that the 47th state had been closely tailored in about the same time with another state around the same location.  How about New Mexico.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Correct on both counts.  You're up.

George

[Human without the bean]

Yeah I thought had that right.

Movie trivia.

In how many theatrical films, did Joanne Woodward star with her husband Paul Newman?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I can only think of Mr and Mrs Bridge, but I'm sure there were others.  Three, total?

You might need to multiply that by many times.

They were a couple George, for 50 years.  She's still alive but has dementia and is in an institution or facility of some sort.  Sad.

I know they were together for a long time.  I just can't think of many movies with both of them in them.

Okay it was 16, four of them were directed by Paul Newman.

While I come up with something else, anyone can feel free to step in.
