Hey, Where's MY Oscar? - Martin Scorsese and Peter O'Toole earn yet more chances at trying to win their first Oscars for their efforts in 2007. What is true about O'Toole and Scorcese, prior to their involvement in "Venus" and "The Departed" respectively?
The correct answer is 'They went a combined 0-for-14 in Oscar nominations.'
Scorcese had nominations in directing (five) and writing (two), but no honorary one. O'Toole, who earned an Honorary Oscar in 2003, had seven lead acting nominations. Prior to "Venus" O'Toole's last nomination was for 1982's "My Favorite Year". O'Toole won an Emmy for "Joan of Arc", while Scorsese was 0-for-3 in the Emmy category.
In 2007, Scorsese finally won a Best Director Oscar for "The Departed," while O'Toole earned the dubious honor of most acting nominations without a win, taking the title from Richard Burton.

The horse's name is only mentioned twice throughout the film; once when Annie takes her for a ride with her dad, and in the swimming pool scene, when Meredith says to Annie " Hey, guess what? Your dad took me riding the other day and he let me ride your horse. I hope that's okay with you." To which Annie replies "Oh, sure. Sprout's used to strange women riding her. Not that you're strange, or anything actually, compared to the others you seem relatively normal."

Movie Trivia Question 9
Prison Films I - This prison film features an enormously powerful performance by George Kennedy, who portrays the character Dragline. The title character puts in a very memorable egg-eating performance to boot. Which of these films fits this description?
The correct answer is 'Cool Hand Luke'
Cool Hand Luke is a film that features one-man's struggle to maintain his dignity, despite the degradation and brutality of his prison surroundings. Paul Newman does a superb job of portraying the very likeable Luke, who befriends the prison heavy Dragline even despite the initial tension between the two men.
If you haven't seen this 1967 film, I highly recommend it. In particular, watch for the one-man egg-eating contest about halfway into the film. It exemplifies the defiant nature of the main character Luke.
