Trivial Pursuit

Remove all ads!

Ok, here's how this works, just like the quote game, only with trivia questions. You answer the question, you get to ask the next question. You can post comments if you want, but you only get to ask a question if you answer the previoius question.
Now, here is the kicker to keep thise thread going. For every correct question answered between now and Sunday February 2, 2002 (when it becomes the 2nd where I live), I will personally donate $1 to SP up to a total of $150 max. So, how much I donate depends on how many questions you answer correctly.
So, here is the first question:
Who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama in 1995?
(And yes, you can try to look up the answer)

Is this a trick question? Are you after the person who was awarded this at the 1995 awards (thus, a 1994 film), OR, the person that was awarded at the 1996 awards for a 1995 film???

Only one of these two options was an award for a drama, therefore, the answer is:

Martin Landau for the film Ed Wood.

[Edit: can someone else ask the next question as i'm no good at it? Also, i could ask a deadly easy question to ensure that it is answered correctly.]

So where's your next question?
BTW, that's a buck!

 

Okay, here goes.

Who won the 2000 MTV video music award for best breakthrough video?

 

That was Bjork

 

Indeed it was. I guess that makes $2 (it feels wierd talking about someone elses money like this).

So, your next question please.

 

If you are pretty confident in your answer, go ahead and ask the next question. You don't have to wait for a confirmation of the answer.
