On Sunday, the 22nd, I was an emcee at an Oscar party at Etcetera Etcetera (44th between Eighth and Ninth). During the dinner and commercial breaks, I was responsible for the trivia that challenged the chewers. Tidying up my apartment this morning, I came across my notes and thought I'd pose a few questions for you. (Answers after the jump.)
1. What individual has won the most Oscars? (This person won 26 [4 honorary], was nominated for 59, and holds the record as well for consecutive years nominated [22 years in a row]!!!!)
2. What country has the most nominations for Best Foreign Language Film? (34)
3. What country has the most wins for Best Foreign Language Film? (13)
4. What writer has been nominated for more Oscars than any other? (14)
5. Name one of only THREE women ever to be nominated for Best Director.
6. What was the first movie in color to win Best Picture?
7. What was the last movie in black and white to win Best Picture?
8. Of all the movie musicals, which won the most Oscars? (10)
8.5. Since Etcetera Etcetera is between Eighth and Ninth, I'll ask this question, technically question #9 but tied to question #8: Who is the only director to win Best Director for the only film he ever directed?
