    2. Who was the last Irish born person to win an Academy Award?

    Assuming it's Glen Hansard?

    There was a guy called Richie Baneham from Dublin who worked on the visual effects on Avatar who won as part of the group of effects artists in 2010.

    Not sure about the statue, though I'm guessing it's the statue of Edmund Burke the clue refers to.

    Yes Richard Baneham from Dublin won for Avatar in 2010. Did anyone win anything this year? Also I think the other question has something to do with Oliver Goldsmith and the eponymous range of sunglasses.

    Christ, i can normally do this quiz with no problem, but im having trouble with a few this time.
    First of all I don't have a clue about the three pictures: Q5, Q13 an Q22.
    Also Question 6 and Question 14 are really wrecking my head.
    Any help would be great.




  • 5. Emma Stone
    6. Karen Lynn Gorney
    13. Harold And Maude
    22. Eugene Pallette

    I'm not sure of 14 now that you ask. I have three actresses for that. I checked on IMDb and there's nobody that worked on all three films. It must be three answers then yes? Joan Bennett, Ida Lupino and Kelly LeBrock.

    I haven't started on this yet but looking at Q.14 I agree that the answer would be the 3 actresses who played the women described in the film title.

    Considering that they will have hundreds of 100% correct entries you might not be in luck.

    I'm not even sure about my entry. For 12) I only had meat rather then Brazilian meat !

    Last year they gave the names of the winners, this time they only say that "The winners have been notified".

    The last day for entries was last Thursday so the draw was probably on Friday and they'll have to contact the winners by post so we'll just have to give it a day or two. :)




  • Yup I won last year so find it annoying and strange they didn't simply list the winners again this year. Something's up about that. I'd really like to get my hands on the second series of Love/Hate. Anyway good luck! :)

    Did you hear anything?

    Well I didn't win and I think you would have heard by now.

    Maybe next year. I enjoy doing the quiz anyway.
