Not confident in this one at all and I'm 100% certain you'll overtake me in the leaderboard!
 Excited though! |

1. Name a movie that is in the top 10 for 2016 grosses worldwide.  I was actually shocked at only 5 Hollywood movies passing the $200M mark worldwide, I thought there would be quite a few more! This led the way for international and China hits The Monkey King 2, Ip Man 3, Monster Hunt and The Mermaid to all enter the top 10! The first two received no answers, I get a pointless for Monster Hunt and Jonjo and Josh share a point for The Mermaid. Back to the mainstream movies, London Has Fallen is the only one not answered while surprise hit The Jungle Book gives Jack and Michael one point. Many of the American blockbusters pick up one point with Deadpool, Kung Fu Panda 3 and Batman Vs Superman while Disney’s animated hit, and the biggest movie worldwide of the year, Zootopia picks up 2 points. One wrong answer here as the question specifies 2016 and Star Wars was 2015 so unlucky Harry, Mack and Mdh. POINTLESS: 0: Monster Hunt- Ultraviolence1989 1: Deadpool- Garyy, Lotti 1: The Mermaid- Jonjo, Josh 1: The Jungle Book- Jack, Michael 1: Kung Fu Panda 3- Regina, SamJudd 1: Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice- Fgiboy2511, Richie 2: Zootopia- Chez Wombat, Jahq, Jimmy Jam 17: Star Wars: The Force Awakens- HarryEzra, Mack, Mdh |

Really wanna see that 'The Mermaid'! I have a feeling it'll be atrocious, but there's gotta be a reason as to why it's such a massive hit in China, right?

2. Name a winner of the Best Actress award at the Oscars which was won after Buzzjack was created  10 Possible answers, 8 of them answered! Shame nobody went for Reese Witherspoon who won two days before Buzzjack was created and would have got someone a wrong answer! Anyway Sandra, Meryl and Cate all gave excellent performances in their respective films and are all pointless answers! Marion, early popular choice Jennifer who probably gave my favourite performance here and Julianne’s win last year pick up their voters 1 point. Kate Winslet’s long deserved Oscar win finally came in 2009 for POINTLESS: 0: Sandra Bullock- The Blind Side- HarryEzra 0: Meryl Streep- The Iron Lady- Mdh 0: Cate Blanchett- Blue Jasmine- Jahq 1: Marion Cotillard- La Vie En Rose- Jonjo, SamJudd 1: Julianne Moore- Still Alice- Fgiboy2511, Richie 2: Jennifer Lawrence- Silver Linings Playbook- Jack, Jimmy Jam, Michael 2: Kate Winslet- The Reader- Lotti, Mack, Regina 3: Natalie Portman- Black Swan- Chez Wombat, Garyy, Josh, Ultraviolence1989 No Wrong Answers! Alternative Answers: - Helen Mirren- The Queen - Brie Larson- Room |

I knew I shoulda gone with Brie! But I thought she'd might've got more than 3 points! FFS.
Doing decently so far I guess though! |

3. Name a movie that peaked at #3 in the box office charts in either the UK or America in 2016  I love following the Box Office and we have seen quite a few films peak at #3 this year, with all the answers scoring pointlesses or only one point! Ranging from Christian American hits Risen and Miracles From Heaven to sequels My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 and Craplander 2, many films have hit the #3 spot! Michael also gets a #3 with Keanu which charted today! However we also have quite a few wrong answers here! The Boss peaked at #1 in America, just beating Batman on opening weekend. Zootropolis peaked at #1 in America and I think #2 in the UK (would’ve been #1 had Huntsman not had previews)- though Richie attempted this without using google, Barbershop: The Next Cut peaked at #2 in America and hasn’t been released in the UK yet and finally Dirty Grandpa peaked on either side of #3- #2 in UK and #4 in America! EDIT: And Eye In The Sky climbed to #2 last week Jahq says so that's now wrong! POINTLESS: 0: Creed- Jahq 0: Keanu- Michael 0: Risen- Ultraviolence1989 0: Miracles From Heaven- Jonjo 0: Bastille Day- Mack 1: Zoolander 2- Chez Wombat, Josh 1: My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2- Fgiboy2511, Garyy 1: How To Be Single- HarryEzra, SamJudd 17: Eye In The Sky- Jack 17: The Boss- Regina 17: Zootropolis- Richie, Mdh 17: Dirty Grandpa- Jimmy Jam 17: Barbershop: The Next Cut- Lotti Alternative Answers: - Joy - The Hateful Eight |

4. Name a category that has been discontinued at the Oscars.  The Oscars is the most prestigious movie awards ceremony though a few categories have been discontinued throughout the years! This is the question with the most pointless answers and only 3 answers pick up points!

Best animated movie still exists and hasn’t been discontinued while 3 categories received no answers! And yeah Best Porn Flick never existed POINTLESS: 0: Best Assistant Director- Josh 0: Best Engineering Effects- Mdh 0: Best Original Musical or Comedy Score- Richie 0: Best Original Story- Mack 0: Best Short Film- Live Action 2 Reels- Jonjo 0: Best Short Film- Novelty- Ultraviolence1989 0: Best Title Writing- JimmyJam 0: Best Unique and Artistic Picture- HarryEzra 1: Best Director, Comedy- Chez Wombat, Fgiboy2511 1: Best Short Film- Colour- Lotti, SamJudd 2: Best Dance Direction- Garyy, Jahq, Regina 17: Best Animated- Jack 17: Best Porn Flick- Michael Alternative Answers: - Best Academy Juvenile Award - Best Academy Special Achievement Award - Best Score- Adapted or Treatment |
