	The bonus answer is okay, but do you really need five of them? You could add the question in the game description or something.

	If I say Oscar surely I should get it? Seems a bit pointless having it down as Academy Award

	@Greenock - I have it set up to accept Academy Award nomination, Academy Award nominee, Oscar nomination, and Oscar nominee. Since they did not all win, I thought specifying that they were nominees was the way to go, and that having it accept four variations of the same answer covered all the bases. I'd be glad to hear more feedback on this from others whether I've made it too particular.

	@ JohnJF - I put it in five times to give five points as a bonus. As soon as the answer is typed in once, all five spaces fill in and you get five points. I've played other "chain" quizzes before, and I wanted this to be a little different by having every clue and every answer in the quiz have the same thing in common. I thought it was worth 5 points for anyone who could figure out that common thread. Just like in my answer to Greenock, I'd welcome more feedback on this.

	I figured since there were five bonus answers that it would be each word of a phrase (like I tried "they - were - all - Oscar - nominated"). I didn't think to just type in the answer and have them all fill in. :-(

	I got the bonus answers without a problem, for what it's worth.

	I liked the quiz, but I tried "Best Picture nominees," "Best Picture nomination," "Best Actor/Actress nominee/nomination" etc

	Quiz good...bonus, not so much

	Thanks for the feedback. I've changed to bonus part to just be worth one point rather than five. @katesutton - I never thought that chopping the question into parts would make it seem like the answer would be as well, but now that you mention how you tried to answer, I can see how it would look that way. The change I've made puts the entire question into one box, so hopefully that won't confuse anyone else.
