Cognac and Brandy should not count as two different spirits.

Name 5 real people whose biographies were made into movies that won the Oscar as Best Picture.

So not any biopic but ones where the biography was written before the movie? That’s a tough one. The ones where I’m sure the book came first are

John Nash (A Beautiful Mind)
Lt. William Bligh (The Mutiny on the Bounty)
Pu Yi (The Last Emperor) [Does it count since it is a cowritten AUTObiography?]
Maria von Trapp (The Sound of Music) [again an autobiography]
Karen Blixin (Out of Africa) [yet another autobiography]
List 5 moons of Neptune.

I’d have settled for almost any Best Picture that was based on the life of a real person (Man For All Seasons, Patton, Braveheart, et al.), but yours all work.

But biography by definition means a written work. (“graphy” comes from a French word derived from a Latin word which in turn was derived from the ancient Greek word meaning to write)

Biopic was probably the term you intended.

I love this game too much to let the thread die, so I cheated and looked 'em up.

  4. Despina
  5. Proteus
