	Feel free to make comments and suggestions! Also, just to state again, the "Year" is the year the movie won the Oscar for, but not necessarily the same year as the president, as the Oscars are held the following Spring! I considered using the year they won for (i.e. the year the movie came out) to determine the president, but there would be ambiguities then on transition years (even if it was only for a month or so). I felt the moment they accepted the award was a good break-point. Have fun, and happy Sporcling!

	Another possibility is instead of listing the year, to list which Academy Awards ceremony they won for. If people think that might be better, I could replace "Year" with "Ceremony #". Let me know!

	Nice quiz. Probably a bit too much time since there are only thirteen presidents you really have to consider.

	I agree with pwoody229. I made several wrong guesses and still had 3:53 left after I got them all. Either cut the time to 2-3 minutes or change it so you only get one guess per clue. I like the quiz though.

	It's an interesting idea but it's really easy. For almost any film there's only going to be 2 or 3 presidents who're even slightly possible. Maybe if you did when actors or directors won, that would be harder, because it's very easy to say roughly when a film was released but less easy to work out what film an actor might have won it for, then get the pres for that.

	Awesome game! I really liked combining the film knowledge with the American history knowledge.
