Holly Hunter. Won for The Piano. Nominated for The Firm. 1993

I GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!!!!!!!

Holly Hunter was the second person that did this, but she was the first woman. I'm looking for the first person to achieve this.

Would that be Al Pacino in '92 for Scent of a Woman* & Glengarry Glen Ross?

(*He Won for this)

That's the one I was looking for, my friend. Al was the first person to win in the leading category ('92), and Holly was the first woman to do so in '93. Ooh.....you're soooooo smart!!!

Thank You! That was kind.

What is the connection between these films:

Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Phenomenon
Hope Floats

Forrest Wittaker was involved with all three films. He directed "Hope Floats", and acted in the other two.

Excellent, LoneRanger!
Yes, Forest Whitaker has moved recently into Directing (Waiting to Exhale) as well as his great acting (Crying Game, Good Morning Viet Nam, Vision Quest, Blown Away, Bird, Etc.)
Looking forward to your Question!
(Annie, aofive, were was ya? LOL)

By the time I saw it Cohalen, LoneRanger had already given the correct answer. Don'tcha just hate it when that happens?

Annie, I know what you mean--I'm the one who usually gets here too late to give an answer.

I've got a fairly easy one for all of you. I don't even remember whether this one's been asked before, but here goes...

What movies have won Academy Awards in ALL of the following categories: Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Writing?

I think the answer to this one is Silence of the Lambs.

Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Jonathon Demme, Ted Tally all won in their categories and the film took Best Picture as well.

Is this the answer you were looking for Loneranger?

I Found 4 Such winners.
In addition to Silence of the Lambs there were also:
One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest; Terms of Endearment; and It Happened One Night
Were there any others?

This was quite fun and enlightening. So many missed this "perfecta" by just little things. Kramer vs Kramer, On Golden Pond, Driving Miss Daisy, Ordinary People...all missed by either one person in the wrong catagory or one person didn't win in the correct catagory. Difficult thing to achieve. And "It Happened One Night" had the stiffest competition...eleven other contenders!

[This message has been edited by Cohalen (edited 11-15-2000).]

Cohalen nailed the correct three movies--"It Happened One Night" (1934), "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). and "The Silence Of The Lambs" (1991--but he added a fourth film that did not win in all categories.

"Terms Of Endearment" did not have a winner in the Best Actor category. Jack Nicolson took home the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in that film.

Congratulations, Cohalen! It's your turn to try to stump us.

Oooooppps! I kinda missed that whole plural "movieS" part of the question! Silly me. Next time I'll read more closely....I just got so excited that I knew one!

Cohalen give us your best shot!

Rock Hudson
Jon Avnet
Martin Scorsese
Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio
RuPaul

What's the connection?

They all were born on November 17th. Different years, but same date.

You had me on the imdb for about 15 minutes on that one Cohalen! The first thing I thought of was Mary and Marty working together on Color of Money so I started with those two...then I started trying to connect Rupaul to them and I noticed the birthdays.

Good one!

Here's one for ya:

What do the following Celebs all have in common?

Dennis Miller

Kevin Spacey

Cindy Crawford

Chris Isaak

Jodi Foster

Cole Porter

Were they all valedictorian of their high school graduating class?

They are all grossly overrated?

No\ah, that can't be it....Jodie Foster is quite good...ok how about..

They all went to the same High School?
