One of the best parts of any Academy Awards ceremony is hearing established actors and actresses referred to as “Academy Award winners” and wondering, “What the heck? When did they win an Oscar?” as you rack your brain to try to remember for what film they could possibly have won the statue. Let’s see how well you know the actual winners.

Thought Liam Neeson won for Schindler’s List and always forget that almost all of Titanic’s Oscars were technical.

quiz idea – name people who have won 2 or more oscars for acting.

Thanks, erak. This seems to be a new problem. We’re looking into it.
Sorry, guys!

I liked that one, probably because I love Oscars… and it didn’t hurt that I got 14/15.
Oddly enough, the only one I missed was one I was sure on. I was sure Fonda had taken it for Ulee’s Gold. Alas, he did not.

Jessica Lang also won Best Actress in a Leading Role for her role in Blue Sky opposite Tommy Lee Jones.
