Wow, I've never blushed green before - such illustrious company there, and yet someone put me up with the best of them. Thanks, a chara (whoever it was)

I'm going to post Round 4 way early. I'm tied up for tomorrow. Ugh. Tomorrow is today. But, anyway, here we go:

My favorite day is Oscar Day (which happened last Sunday). Let's get those out of the way first.

1. Name an African American who has won an Oscar for their acting roles. Their ranks built by two this year. And I say "Yay!".

2. Name an actress who has won two (at least) Academy Awards for acting. [That one built this year, too.] Any category is all right.

3. In June 1972 5 men were arrested as they were caught robbing the Watergate Building in the U.S. The fallout of it was huge but we'll get to the details later. Who was one of those 5?

4. The Woodstock Festival sorta got going as it went in 1969. Nobody was quite sure how it would go. On the last day of it (Sunday August 17 1969) name a musical act that was scheduled that day, not necessarily the one that performed. Just a proposed one.

5. Name something you make with pears.

Good luck everyone! I have an extra few hours to look at all answers. Have a good time. See you Sunday.
