Yes, an Oscar nomination for Best Actor or Best Actress assures one of film immortality.... sort of.

Luckily, many of the other nominees made a little more of a lasting impression. At least you'd better hope they did.

Each question in this bonus follows the identical format. For each, your team needs to name the actor and the appropriate film. (In other words, don't just go writing down "Meryl Streep" whenever you draw a blank.)

As an example, if the question were "Found a butterfly inside a corpse's throat?" the required answer would be "Jodie Foster, The Silence of the Lambs."

We're asking about the lead acting categories only, so you can skip over the Supporting nominees. (Screw them!) And to help you out, you can find lists of every nominated performance on these two sites:

(It's okay for your team to look at these two sites and still take the 15-point "no electronic aids" option.)

And now, the only question of this bonus:
