Not sure whether to do half or all today but first results will be soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 1st January 2016, 11:47 AM

01. Name an actor (male) nominated for a Golden Globe from the most recent nominations (Golden Globes 2016 / 73rd Golden Globes)

- Leonardo DiCaprio (7)
Jahq, Josh, Acidburn, Dan, Jonjo, Chez Wombat, Ultraviolence, Joe

- Will Smith (1)
Harryflynn, Mack

- Eddie Redmayne (0)
burbe

- Michael Fassbender (0)
Viper

- Benedict Cumberbatch (0)
fgiboy

- Jake Gylenhaal (0)
Dobbo

Leo Dicaprio gets the top answer by a long way here, maybe that's a sign he might get a win this time around. Will Smith also gets a few answers despite being in a less hyped movie. Fassbender and Redmayne are both only answered by on person earning them no points despite two very good performances. Benedict Cumberbatch was nominated last year for The Imitation Game so there may have been some mix up there. Jake Gylenhaal didn't get a Golden Globe nom despite also getting one last year for Nightcrawler, he did take his top off in three movies this year so I'd give him a nomination for that beautiful chest alone! *-*

02. Name a comedy released in 2015 in the UK.

- Spy (6)
Joe, Mack, Ultraviolence, burbe, Josh, Dobbo, Jahq

- Ted 2 (1)
Chez Wombat, Dan

- Pitch Perfect 2 (1)
Jonjo, Acidburn

- Trainwreck (0)
Harryflynn

- Hot Pursuit (0)
Viper

- Minions (0)
fgiboy

Spy is also way out ahead here, no surprises there seeing as it was so hilarious. I did think it would be more of a battle between that and Trainwreck though but even Ted 2 got more answers. Hot Pursuit would be a better answer for Pointless and Minions is a different kind of comedy yet still a correct answer I suppose.

03. Name a Harry Potter film.

- Philosopher's Stone (6)
Dobbo, Jahq, burbe, Viper, Mack, fgiboy, Joe

- Chamber of Secrets (1)
Dan, Harryflynn

- Prisoner of Azkaban (0)
Jonjo

- Deathly Hallows Part 1 (0)
Acidburn

- Deathly Hallows Part 2 (2)
Josh, Chez, Ultraviolence

Philosopher's Stone wins here, not the best movie in the franchise but I suppose it kicked things off. I thought DH2 would be more popular here just for being such a good ending but at least it was second highest. Not sure why two people went for CoS when it's pretty forgettable imo.

Ugh. I was gonna go with 'Spy' too, but thought 'Pitch Perfect 2' would be a far more sensible answer. Also, I think its pushing it a bit when calling 'Spy' a "comedy"... ;D

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 1st January 2016, 07:32 PM

04. Name a film with Cate Blanchett in.

- Blue Jasmine (2)
Joe, Viper, Dobbo

- Carol (3)
Ultraviolence, burbe, Jahq, Josh

- Elizabeth (1)
fgiboy, Mack

- The Aviator (0)
Chez Wombat

- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (1)
Harryflynn, Jonjo

- Cinderella (0)
Dan

- Notes On a Scandal (0)
Acidburn

The new wins against the old here with Carol being the top answer. Blue Jasmine also gets a few answers for being her most recent Oscar win. I'd say Notes On a Scandal, Elizabeth and The Aviator are a bit too old to pick up many guesses although I'd never even heard of the former! Cinderella is a very good guess from Dan seeing as it was such a big recent hit but I sort of forgot she was in it due to only being a secondary character.

Slaying.

05. Name an Inside Out character.

- Joy (11)
Joe, fgiboy, Mack, Ultra, Chez, Harry, viper, Dan, burbe, acidburn, Josh, Jahq

- Sadness (0)
Jonjo

- Out (0)
Dobbo

Joy just wipes the floor here with pretty much everybody answering her. Jonjo will be left sad after putting his trust into Sadness, she was cute but Joy is definitely more memorable. Out is not a character but logical guess Dobbo I was definitely expecting answers for Bing Bong but not being an emotion may have disadvantaged him here.

I'm not doing too well on this so far, hopefully I've done better when the other results are announced.

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 2nd January 2016, 11:38 AM

More results coming later tonight because I'm going out for a meal now, more comments would be nice We'll end up getting less than Neil's at this rate which didn't even finish!

Posted by: UltraChristmas 2nd January 2016, 11:59 AM

Joy bringing me Joy with top score Definitely my favourite from Inside Out

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 2nd January 2016, 04:29 PM

06. Name a movie scheduled to be released in January 2016 in the UK.

- Joy (2)
Josh, burbe, fgiboy

- The Danish Girl (0)
Jahq

- Creed (0)
Harry

- The Revenant (1)
Chez, Ultra

- The Hateful Eight (0)
Acidburn

- Dirty Grandpa (1)
Viper, Mack

- Captain America: Civil War (0)
Joe

- Finding Dory (0)
Jonjo

- Kung Fu Panda 3 (0)
Dan

- Fifty Shades of Grey 2 (0)
Dobbo

Lots of wrong answers here, I think people didn't read properly or didn't know how to find out Movie release dates. Dobbo is the furthest off as that movie doesn't come out until Feb 2017, over a year yet! Panda is due out March, Dory in July and Cap in April so none of those are January. I was expecting this to be a fight between Joy and The Danish Girl because those got released the closest to the start of Jan but The Revenant and Dirty Grandpa ended up putting in a stronger fight, the latter does look very funny so I can see why it has stuck in people's minds. The other three are also out in Jan and all pretty hyped so in a larger contest I'm surd they'd have got plenty of answers.

Oops, I read it as 2016, didn't see the January.

Posted by: UltraChristmas 2nd January 2016, 05:11 PM

Thought more would go for the revenant and the h8ful eight, nearly went for the latter myself!

Seeing the Danish girl tonight and joy tomorrow and so excited for both of them

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 2nd January 2016, 07:17 PM

Poo! I too, didn't see January! (I would've gone for 'The Revenant' had I read it properly btw - sorry, Chez & Ultra )

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 2nd January 2016, 07:25 PM

07. Name a film that Jennifer Lawrence has starred in.

- The Hunger Games (9)
Joe, fgiboy, Ultra, harry, Chez, Jonjo, dan, Burbe, Acidburn, Jahq

- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2)
Mack, Josh, Dobbo

- Silver Linings Playbook (0)
Viper

I suppose it was a bit silly that I didn't go with the first Hunger Games here, I even wrote it out then wrote Mockingjay after it but I guess everyone had the right idea to stop after the three words. The most recent film fresh in everybody's memory gets a few answers too so that's good. SLP is one of my favourite films ever but in a filmography full of Hunger Games and X-Men movies that was never going to be a top answer.

Posted by: Joe. 2nd January 2016, 08:35 PM

Gaaaah Jack still just one point ahead of me. We both messed up on the same question.

FYI I would have gone for Joy in the January films one.

Great hosting so far Josh, bring on the last questions!

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 2nd January 2016, 08:48 PM

08. Name a movie beginning with A, B or C that was released in 2015 in the UK.

- Avengers: Age of Ultron (7)
Jahq, Josh, burbe, Dan, Chez Wombat, Ultraviolence, fgiboy, Joe

- Antman (1)
Acidburn, Viper

- Big Hero 6 (0)
Jonjo

- Brooklyn (0)
Harry

- Bridge of Spies (0)
Dobbo

- Creed (0)
Mack

Creed isn't released until 2016 so that's not correct because I did specify UK! Avengers gets the bulk of the answers because it was such a monster hit and we must associate A with the Avengers and Antman according to the top answers here. C has not been represented by any correct answers here but the only ones I can think of are Cinderella and Chappie but of course, Avengers would be a more popular answer here. Three very good 'B' movies here, my favourite being Big Hero 6 but I think it was too close to 2014 to be selected by many people.

Jonjo not going with Avengers

Jack still trolling me with that one point.

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 2nd January 2016, 09:03 PM

09. Name an animated movie released in 2015 in the UK.

- Inside Out (12)
Jahq, Josh, burbe, Dan, Chez, Ultraviolence, fgiboy, Joe, Acidburn, Viper, Jonjo, Harry, Mack

- Pixels (0)
Dobbo

Everybody picks Inside Out here apart from Dobbo, probably because of the question earlier on. I did think Home, Big Hero 6, Minions, Hotel Transylvania, Peanuts Movie may have got at least one answer but instead Pixels did. Definitely computer generated animation but not what everyone was thinking there.

So it all comes down to the last question with Jahq remaining in the lead from Question 1. Can anyone make a late surge to the top and can anyone lift themselves up the final leaderboard with the question about dinosaurs appearing in Jurassic World?

Posted by: Joe. 2nd January 2016, 09:11 PM

The last one is where I probably flopped. Can other people comment so we get the results please?

Posted by: Josh Josh Binks 2nd January 2016, 09:17 PM

10. Name a dinosaur that appeared in Jurassic World.

- Velociraptor (2)
Jahq, Acidburn, fgiboy

- Indominus Rex (5)
Josh, burbe, Chez, Ultraviolence, Mack, Joe

- T-Rex (4)
Dobbo, Dan, Viper, Jonjo, Harry

Indominus Rex just steals the big points here, being the main focus of the film it's not hard to see why. The T-rex gets a few answers too, I suppose she does turn up right at the end to do some saving the day but she's hardly in it much, I guess it got a few answers for just being the first dinosaur that popped into people's minds. Poor velociraptors didn't get many votes despite them probably being the best non-human characters of 2015.

Posted by: Joe. 2nd January 2016, 09:21 PM

Yesssssssssssssssssss. In my three years on Buzzjack, I've never won a game of any kind other than Chart preddix once (often coming bloody second), so can I bathe in this moment please. I want adoration from you all.

Thanks Josh, great round, great questions. When I looked back on the questions I really didn't think Indominus would win, I had to Google it to find out the actual name/spelling before submitting!

(At least joint) leading all the way until the last question. Urgh

I think my dinosaur was the first thing on Google / Wikipedia when googling because I had no other logic to use

Also questioning Josh calling "Chamber of Secrets" 'forgettable'

Posted by: Doboggan 2nd January 2016, 11:23 PM

Oh dear definitely not in my element on this round

Thanks Josh I enjoyed this and am glad this one was completed

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 3rd January 2016, 12:12 AM

It actually didn't cross my mind :\ (I think it's because I was debating on whether to watch 'Big Hero 6' at the time though!)

In case you didn't get it, comedies are supposed to be funny...




etc....

Posted by: UltraChristmas 3rd January 2016, 12:16 AM

The movie mods slaying joint 2nd *.*

Messing up on the Harry Potter question practically ruined all my chances of winning, oops! Well done Joe on your win and thanks Josh for your fantastic hosting and excellent questions


If anyone else would like to host a pointless or family fortunes, please send me or Jahq a PM as we have no one else lined up to host at the moment (I think)!
