Tonight’s Final Jeopardy category: The Academy Awards in the 21st Century
The Final Jeopardy answer: The only actress to win the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for portraying a former Best Actress recipient.
I have to admit that I was stymied (not to mention I have never seen the movie for which the actress won the award). The more recent actress has appeared with such well known performers as Glenn Close, Frances McDormand, and Jude Law.
The former Best Actress winner is no longer with us. She holds the most Best Actress awards with four. Some of her co-stars were John Wayne, Cary Grant, and James Stewart. Her sister was also a former Best Actress winner as well as a UNICEF ambassador.
Be the first to give the correct question and you will have done better than I. Name the film for which she won the award and you are brilliant. Name the actress she played and you are a genius. Of course, you win absolutely nothing except the honor of having your answer posted on Morat’s Blog which is (in a word) priceless. Once again, we are on the honor system which means: NO CHEATING!!!! No wikipedia, no imdb, no any other web site or outside source to aid you in your response. AND…..
I am make a the rules. So a you a follow the rules. And if a you a cheat I will a hunt a you down. And dems de berries.
I guess Katherine Hepburn, but I can’t think of who played her recently.. that’s as far as I’m going to get without the internet, and even so, it’s probably wrong!
Best actress was Kate Blanchett, who won for The Aviator, on Howard Hughes. The actress she portrayed was Katharine Hepburn.
Good try taylhis You did get one-third corrrect without help. CONGRATS Carol for getting all three (you did not watch Jeopardy last night, did you?)
