Welcome to the first official day of the new season of "TEN!" You should know the rules by now. You've already gotten your hint to this week's 5-point bonus. It may be sneaking around in the wrong answers below or it may show up later in the week. That's for you to figure out.

Let's get things rolling with a topic near and dear to everybody's heart:

9. And while we're on the subject of Scotland, which of these Dame Maggie Smith films took place in Edinburgh?

BONUS. It was one of the most awkward moments in Academy Awards history, but let's see if you still remember it. Name the two Oscar winners who mistakenly gave this year's Best Picture award to "La La Land" rather than the actual winner of "Moonlight". (Must give both correct answers to earn the 2 points.)

This is a protest entry because the Pastor appropriated Vandal's game.

2. Everybody knows that Rosebud was a sled in the 1941 classic "Citizen Kane"... but whatever happened to Rosebud at the end of that film?
Correct answer: C. It was sold at auction
Wrong answer of the week: D. It was set adrift on the river

I believe I'll get a negative score, which is my way of protesting.

If Pastor had apologized earlier, Vandal may have made a clever promo for the game. Even now, Pastor can still avoid becoming a villain in Vandal's next novel.

As an IP lawyer, I can't possibly participate in this game.

Is this a real dispute? I don't pay enough attention to know who runs which game. I see questions and, if they look interesting, I answer them. I don't want to get involved in some sort of actual disagreement.

Thanks.

There's an actual street in London called "Kensington Gore", and this product was humorously named after it. "Gore" is an old English word for a small triangular piece of land.

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway

It was a "Bonnie & Clyde" reunion... which was appropriate because there was obviously a bloodbath backstage after that blooper.
