A little off- season trivia gang!

[meisperplexed]

Well thanks for letting me know meis.....My bad for assuming. See I stereotyped, and that's on me...

Well meis let me please start anew!!! It is a pleasure to know you m'am, and you bring a breath of fresh air to our board.

OFC

Thank you hart. It's a pleasure to know you too kind sir. I make the same assumption on the board. I assume a poster is male unless told otherwise.

This is the active question:

On The Big Bang Theory, what gift did Penny give Sheldon for Saturnalia (aka Christmas) that resulted in a hug from Sheldon?

Thank you autocorrect for changing hug to big so the question made no sense.

 

[meisperplexed]

I don't think anyone else watched The Big Bang Theory, so let's try a new question.

Only two actors have been nominated for best actor and director for the same film twice. Name one of them.

Edit: The nominations were for the Academy Awards (Oscars).

This is total wild guess but I’m going say Mel Gibson is one of them

He's not one of them, but that's a good guess. Here's a hint: Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Clint Eastwood is one of them. He got it for Unforgiven. It's my favorite western.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Beatty for Reds is the other one, right? I know he and Eastwood both won for Best Director in their respective years. You know, Nicholson is far and away the best thing about Reds in my opinion.

You got it! Eastwood was nominated for best director and actor for both Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. He won best director for both, but whiffed on best actor both times. Beatty was nominated for best director and actor for Reds and Heaven Can Wait. He also whiffed on best actor both times. I've never seen Reds, so I'll have to put it on my list to watch. Anyway, you're up!

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Never really have been the biggest Beatty fan at all. Eastwood I love though. Million Dollar Baby will rip your heart out. If someone watches that and they don't cry, they're not human.

I bawled like a baby watching that movie. Cleared out my sinuses though.

I read an article awhile back that said Sylvester Stallone still has those 2 turtles as pets. They were 5 years old when the move was filmed, so they’re almost 50 years old now.
