    You shouldn't be surprised, the Oscars are a load of bollox, especially if that charlatan Spielberg has managed to win Oscars...

    Also are there no Pointless fans here? Central African Republic is obviously the only answer to name an African country.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,381 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    It's more subtle, but Quickbeam gave one answer for each letter of the alphabet, just not in order. Didn't need to though 🤣

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,149 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    The 2 films that he won the Oscars for Directing are absolute masterclasses in directing. For me that opening scene in Saving Private Ryan is one of the best in the history of cinema.

    Spielberg is the Bruce Springsteen of the Movie World... I don't care if he has a couple of decent hits, he's over-rated to the point that he annoys me.

    Dancing In The Dark... more like Directing In The Dark...

    well, for the oscars, unless its some lifetime oscar, its judged on a single film nomination.

    he won the best director oscars with shindlers list and saving private ryan, and in those years, there were many other films nominated for best director, but those 2 won out.


    just caz you don't like his other works, does not lessen the 2 best director oscars for those two movies.
