I have no idea what day it is

I have a trough load of mini sausage rolls to keep me nourished throughout.

For each round Ill post the questions and the correct answers, then reveal your answers and then finally a table of the scores up to that point.

So here we go, starting with......

.....Round One, our leading ladies.

1. Actresses
All of these women have won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role


TOP ROW:
Katharine Hepburn: Won in 1933 for Morning Glory, in 1967 for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, in 1968 for The Lion in Winter and in 1981 for On Golden Pond. Holds the record for most wins in this category.
Halle Berry: Won in 2001 for Monster’s Ball.
Jodie Foster: Won in 1988 for The Accused and in 1991 for Silence of the Lambs.
Cher: Won in 1987 for Moonstruck.

BOTTOM ROW:
Bette Davis: Won in 1935 for Dangerous and in 1938 for Jezebel.
Cate Blanchett: Won in 2013 for Blue Jasmine.
Marion Cotillard: Won in 2007 for La Vie en Rose.
Meryl Streep: Won in 1982 for Sophie’s Choice and in 2011 for The Iron Lady. Holds the record for most nominations (12 to date) in this category.

quickbeam

I knew them all. I probably picked the worst answer though.

lassykk

Hey my guess of the only one remotely familiar was correct

lassykk

Hey my guess of the only one remotely familiar was correct

Halle Berry proves to be the most popular leading lady for the critics of Forum Games but Katharine Hepburn isn't far behind.

EEFGGFEDCCDEED gets off to a flying start, picking up a lovely Ace with Cate Blanchett. Less fortunate is bolgbui41, who mistakes her for Kate Winslet.

Skippy and shelly also get off to a bad start, as they mix up their Hollywood classics (surprisingly, neither Lauren Bacall or Maureen O'Hara ever won a Best Actress Oscar - they had to make do with "honorary" awards)

That's Marion Cotillard? I thought it was the girl from Twilight, luckily I didn't know her name

I'm aiming for no incorrects.

Which is probably unlikely :pac:

quickbeam

Definitely didn't know all of them!

aaronjennings

Oh dear...

PUNK POET PATTI PIPS POP PRINCESS TO POPULAR POSITION!

Patti Smith is Forum Games' singer of choice, as she sheeps this round. No Aces this time around and a fairly even spread of correct answers. Alas, we have three missteps - sure it's all been shít since Mozart anyway, right?

Nina wasn't inducted until 2018?

Yikes.

Posthumously, to boot.

EEFGGFEDCCDEED holds on to their lead but it's still very early days.

Didn't want to win this anyway. I'm just going with Necro's idea and hoping for 100% correct answers.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

God damn it. One of the few rounds where I didn't go for one of the more obvious choices. Didn't think so many people would recognise Patti Smith.

Same here

I hadn't a clue who Patti Smith was.

Now let's get PHYSICAL! As Olivia Newton John might say, though she might also wonder why she didn't make the cut for this quiz.....

3. Sport
All of these women are famous sportswomen - no further elaboration needed


TOP ROW:

Billie Jean King: American tennis player. Not Michael Jackson’s lover.
Katie Taylor: Irish boxer. The most dangerous woman in Bray.
Florence “Flo Jo” Griffith Joyner: American athlete. Still officially the fastest woman in history.
Jayne Torvill: British figure skater.

BOTTOM ROW:

Megan Rapinoe: American footballer.
Sonia O’Sullivan: Irish athlete. But more importantly she’s from Corrrrk.
Nadia Comăneci: Romanian gymnast.
Annalise Murphy: SHE’S ON A BOAT MOTHERFÚCKER, DON’T YOU EVER FORGET!

This is the round where I changed my mind at the last second...

quickbeam

I knew two of them

Billie Jean was NOT his lover...
She was just a girl....

Necro

I've a feeling I should have gone for Annalise here

I swapped from Flo Jo to someone else.

Forum Games know their sports! No incorrect answers in this round, and we even get an Ace - well done to yozico for identifying Ireland's Olympic silver-medallist sailor Annalise Murphy.

It's a tie at the top between tennis and football (or "soccer" as Megan would say!)

Oh ffs. This isn't going well. Two SHEEP in a row!

Jaysus my silly picking names out of a hat thing is actually working out pretty well!

yozico's Ace sees them jump to the top of the table, with BuileBeag and Reberetta right behind. Skippy44 currently leads in the race for the spoon, but there's still a long way to go....

Looks at score

Looks at the other answers I've submitted

Will I save some time and take the wooden spoon now?

We move into the world of politics now, always a contentious subject. Who reigns supreme here?

4. Politics
All of these women have served as the head of government of a country at some point in time


TOP ROW:

Margaret Thatcher: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 1979-1990. Was not everyone's cup of tea.
Indira Gandhi: Prime Minister of India, 1966-1977 and 1980-1984. Assassinated by her own bodyguards.
Dilma Rousseff: President of Brazil, 2011-2016.

BOTTOM ROW:

Jacinda Ardern: Prime Minister of New Zealand, 2017-present.
Theresa May: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 2016-2019. Bane of wheat farmers all around Britian.
Golda Meir: Prime Minister of Israel, 1969-1974.
Benazir Bhutto: Prime Minister of Pakistan, 1988-1990 and 1993-1996. Assassinated in 2007.

Woot! Wasn't sure my answer there was right. It'll probably sheep though.

I only knew 5 of those.

ShaneU

I knew three of these, you know which three

The Iron Lady takes it! :eek:
