In what years were the Academy Awards presentation delayed or postponed ?

Wednesday 10-Apr-1968 postponed from 8th April.

Question:

They have been postponed three times. In 1938, 1968 and 1981. Lets continue with gtho4's question

Craig

the first movie in colour to win oscar for Best Picture was Gone With The Wind http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Set/3140/index.html

next ..

What's the next question?

Can I ask one again, if things are up for grabs (if I'm overlooking the next question, just let me know)?

In the final scene of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Ed Earl carries Miss Mona back up to the house. But, something unexpected happened during filming of this scene. What?

Since no one got it, I'll go ahead and answer - Burt got a hernia from carrying Dolly up to the house. I wonder why!

Ok, how about another Oz question (they're my favorite!):

The Tin Man was not always made of tin. He was once a real man. How did he come to be made of tin?

The tin man was originally a real woodman, who loved a Munchkin girl. The girl's mother was opposed, and bartered with the Wicked Witch of the East to cast a spell on his axe. While chopping wood, his axe kept slipping and lopping off parts of his body, which he conveniently had replaced by the local tinsmith. Finally, he chopped right thru his body, and the tinsmith made the woodsman a tin torso, which unfortunately lacked a heart.

Kind of gruesome, really!

OK, next question. On what real college was the fictional Faber College from the movie Animal House based? And for extra credit, on what college was Emily Dickinson College, from the same movie, based?

------------------
Karin
Twins in Training!

Dartmouth, New Hampshire (although it was filmed at the University of Oregon at Eugene)

extra credit.. I doubt I'll get it..A guess at the Emily Dickenson-- Vassar??

QUESTION

Name the tri-bond--
(what movie do these people have in common)

Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, Lauren Bacall

Good going Bagpipes! Dartmouth it was. But no extra credit, sorry. Emily Dickinson College was based on Mount Holyoke College. Dickinson went to MHC for 1 year. And there was a longstanding roadtrip tradition between Mt. Holyoke and Dartmouth.

Karin
Twins in Training!
