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

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.

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 tongue.gif I was definitely expecting answers for Bing Bong but not being an emotion may have disadvantaged him here.

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.

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.

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!

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.
