Results are in for Week #24 of Film Fun Friday.

Game: Identify the Poster

The correct answers were: Scorched (Foreign Poster) and Pink Floyd – The Wall (Negative Poster). No one was able to identify the poster.

Game: Quotes

The quote “Boy, you goin’ let this ol’ nappy-headed girl cuss you out like that? You sittin’ at the head of your own dinner table and actin’ like the waiter!” came from The Color Purple. No one got this one either.

Game: Oscar Trivia

The question was how many posthumous Oscar winners have there been? Name them. The answer is 15 in competitive categories, but there are four other Oscar winners that received awards posthumously, and then others that received scientific awards or testimonial awards that do not grant statuettes. The list of actual winners is at the very bottom of this post. Peter was right on the the competitive winners.

Game: Six Degrees of Oscar Separation

Peter made the connection in 3 (in two different paths).
