Answers & Points Timeline, Game 15 Friday September 19-2

[Here's Fanny!]

You'd think if a movie is deemed the "Best Picture", then the guy who directed it would automatically be the "Best Director", right? Well, come to find out it happens a lot. I didn't do the math, but it seems that turns out to the case more often than not.

So, today's Timeline involves movies won the Academy Award in both of those categories. Rather than give a year Well, I decided to just double up on the decades, so there are two entries for each decade from the 30s to the current one. Since there are more subjects today than normal (16), I just put a short phrase or description of the movie instead of a big, long clue. Most Best Pictures (at least the ones I picked) are pretty well known anyway, and there's also the Director Well to help you along. If you'd like to answer in decade pairs (1930s, 1940s, etc.) to help you sort it out instead the numbered clues, that's fine, just remember to put the year, movie and director.

Note: The year will be the Oscar Year, which is usually the year the movie was released, not the calendar year in which the award was given. For instance, No Country for Old Men would be 2007, even though the award was given in 2008.

Scoring: Year (80 possible)
Bullseye - 5 points
So Close (+/- 2 years) - 3 points
Not So Close (+/- 4 years) - 1 point

Movie Name - 5 points (80 possible)
Director - 5 points (80 possible)
Bonus - 10 points (Total of 250 possible points)

2. Bette Davis was the star, but Marilyn Monroe had one of her earliest notable roles as well.

3. Diane Keaton started a fashion trend that she is still stubbornly sticking with, although the rest of the world moved on a long time ago.

4. So you settle in for a nice fight flick and end up debating euthanasia on the way home. WTF?

5. The first movie to sweep the five major categories on Oscar night.

6. Reintroduced the genius that was Scott Joplin to the world and snagged Marvin Hamlisch a Best New Artist at the Grammys.

8. The National Apathy Party stole this movie's signature line.

9. Semi-factual movie about that crazy math dude.

12. The last movie to win the five top awards.

13. Based on a novella by Colette.

14. One of my favourites and I don't care if it's not totally historically accurate, a good drawing and quartering makes up for a lot.

16. Featured the screen debuts of Timothy Hutton and Elizabeth McGovern.

You'd think if a movie is deemed the "Best Picture", then the guy who directed it would automatically be the "Best Director", right? Well, come to find out it happens a lot. I didn't do the math, but it seems that turns out to the case more often than not.

So, today's Timeline involves movies won the Academy Award in both of those categories. Rather than give a year Well, I decided to just double up on the decades, so there are two entries for each decade from the 30s to the current one. Since there are more subjects today than normal (16), I just put a short phrase or description of the movie instead of a big, long clue. Most Best Pictures (at least the ones I picked) are pretty well known anyway, and there's also the Director Well to help you along. If you'd like to answer in decade pairs (1930s, 1940s, etc.) to help you sort it out instead the numbered clues, that's fine, just remember to put the year, movie and director.

Note: The year will be the Oscar Year, which is usually the year the movie was released, not the calendar year in which the award was given. For instance, No Country for Old Men would be 2007, even though the award was given in 2008.

Scoring: Year (80 possible)
Bullseye - 5 points
So Close (+/- 2 years) - 3 points
Not So Close (+/- 4 years) - 1 point

Movie Name - 5 points (80 possible)
Director - 5 points (80 possible)
Bonus - 10 points (Total of 250 possible points)

Note: I had originally envisioned something with producers and directors but, since most producers aren't well known, I scrapped that. When I was erasing them I erased Michael Curtiz (the director of Casablanca) and left Hal B. Wallis (the producer). Of the people who answered before I fixed it, nelly, mel and mac (and fman, who copied it before but answered later) all got it correct and plasticene is getting an extra 5 points.
