1. Correct.........Gone With The Wind (1939) runs 234 minutes, or 3 hours and 56 minutes.
3. Correct........Beauty And The Beast (1991) 5. Correct........Haing S. Ngor won the 1984 Best Supporting Actor Oscar for The Killing Fields. He was tragically gunned down in his own front yard in Los Angeles by gang members on February 25, 1996 because he refused to give up a gold locket containing a picture of his late wife who had been allowed to die in childbirth by the Khmer Rouge soldiers in 1975 7. Not the first. |

8. Kate Winslet as young Rose DeWitt Bukater and Gloria Stuart as old Rose in Titanic (1997). Judi Dench as old Iris Murdoch and Kate Winslet as young Iris in Iris (2001).
9. In 1938 Edgar Bergen was presented an Honorary Oscar (in the form of a wooden Oscar stauette) for his creation of Charlie McCarthy.

Godfather II was the second remake to win. The first was in 1944-1945

I know Ben Hur was a remake but did it win the Oscar? That would be early 50's.

No 2 'Marty'.

Lambertmoon Loyal user 240 Posts |
Number 2 is correct, Ziatro.......Marty (1955) runs 91 minutes.
The other answers were # 4. George Bernard Shaw won the 1925 Nobel Prize for Literature, and the 1938 Academy Award for Best Screenplay for the film adaptation of Pygmalion #6 John Cazale appeared in only five films in his career before his death from cancer in 1978: The Godfather (1972), The Conversation (1974), The Godfather, Part II (1974), Dog Day Afternoon (1975) and The Deer Hunter (1978). All five were nominated for Best Picture, and The Godfather, The Godfather, Part II and The Deer Hunter won. #7 The Bells of St. Mary's starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman and directed by Leo McCarey was nominated for Best Picture of 1945. It was a sequel to the previous year's Best Picture, Going My Way. |

Here is another "Oscar" trivia question: Can you name at least two movies in which the entire cast was nominated for acting oscars?

Wild guess
Look who is coming to dinner? |

I'm trying to think of pictures that has a very small cast and I can only think of SLEUTH because it only had two actors in the entire film. I don't remember it being up for a Oscar, but it was awhile back.
Michael Caine and Sir Lawrence Olivier in that one. Greg

Greg, although Caine and Olivier had the lions share of the film, according to I.M.D.B there were a few other characters present. I know that Caine played a couple of parts in the film and they credit someone else for this part, so now I'm not too sure if they played all the parts, as it is a long time since I saw this film. Both Caine and Olivier were nominated for oscars for their parts.

I believe the made the film exactly the way the original play was stage... with just two characters. Unfortunately, I have to be the spoiler, but the other role was also played by Caine as that's the twist in the film and the plot. Greg

Well done, Greg! SLEUTH is one of the films I had in mind. The only other film I know to have its entire cast nominated for an oscar was GIVE 'EM HELL, HARRY, the 1975 film version of the popular one-man stage show about Harry S. Truman. James Whitmore, the only actor to appear in the movie was nominated for the Acadamy Award for BEST ACTOR.
