NEW RULES! **DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** **Object of the game: Try to think of the most popular answer,** to get the most people matching you. Google is allowed, if you desire. Only answers that are “serious” will be scored. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players. Also, don’t try to score a zero, even with “serious” answers. New formatting rules: If they are not followed, your answers may be **DISQUALIFIED**. 1. answer 2. answer 3. answer 4. answer Make your list look like the one above. No double spacing. No periods (except for the one following the number.) No quote marks, no punctuation if it is not necessary! No smilies! No extraneous bullshit is allowed. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it **AFTER THE LIST** , dammit! The reason this is so important is because I cut and paste all the answers, and I have to edit each answer to make them identical. It is a lot of work, so please make it easier on me. Thanks. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on [The List.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10778971&postcount=82) The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:00 PM Central on Sunday, 02/22/09 whichever comes first. Good luck! 1. Name a memorable Oscar host. 2. Name someone who gave a memorable Oscar acceptance speech. 3. Name a “classic” movie that was not nominated for a single Oscar. 4. Name a movie that won multiple Oscars but lost Best Picture. 5. Name someone who’s won an Oscar for Best Screenplay (Original or Adapted). 6. Name someone who’s won a music Oscar (Score or Song). 7. Name someone who’s won an Oscar in a “technical” category (excluding the music ones). 8. Name someone who’s famous for never winning an Oscar. 9. Name a movie that featured a character in the story winning an Oscar. 10. Name a movie nominated for an Oscar this weekend that will go home completely empty-handed. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > Yeah, I know, but I couldn’t think of anything else. Plus, there’s not really any such thing as a wrong answer in feuds. True. My wife convinced me to change my “I don’t know” (likely the correct answer) to “Roadhouse”, which isn’t really a “classic” movie (except if you’re a TNT executive who calls it a “New Classic”). 😉 ---

My wife convinced me to change my “I don’t know” (likely the correct answer) to “Roadhouse”, which isn’t really a “classic” movie (except if you’re a TNT executive who calls it a “New Classic”). 😉 Ooh, by that definition, Patrick Swayze has starred in a trio of new classics–Roadhouse, Dirty Dancing, and the unforgettable Ghost. I really blanked on that one, though…and Martin Scorcese is my go to guy for unappreciated at the Oscars. ---

No, sorry. Laura saw Roadhouse a few weeks ago and was absolutely riveted by the train wreck she saw on-screen. It’s kind of in-joke between us now… ---
