Can you name the answers to these tough trivia questions based on the 2013 Oscar nominations? by rockgolf

Q	Answer	Clue
Argo		One of the characters in Argo is Jack Kirby, who in real life also shares creator credit on what other Oscar-nominated film this year?
Beasts of the Southern Wild		Quvenzhané Wallis, age 9, shattered the record for youngest Best Actress nominee that was previously held by Keisha Castle-Hughes for what film in 2004?
Django Unchained		Should 'Django' win Best Picture, it will be the fourth 'Western' (film set in US West, circa 1840-1910) to do so. Name any of the other 3 Best Picture winners that fit that description.
Les Misérables Amour		Both these titles are in French. What was the last film with a French title to get a Best Picture nomination. Hint: It was, like Les Miz, a musical retelling of a film that had previously been nominated for Best Picture as a straight drama.
Life of Pi		'Life of Pi' is based on a book by Canadian author Yann Martel. What is the only Best Picture winner to date that is based on a book by a Canadian author? (The author was Michael Ondaatje, if it helps.)
Lincoln (I)		While 'Frost/Nixon' contained the name of an American President, what 1991 Best Picture nominee was the last named after a specific US President?

Sally Field		Until this year, Sally Field was one of only 6 people in Oscar history to be nominated for an acting Oscar exactly twice in their career and won both times. Give the LAST NAME of any of the other five. (Hat tip to Ken Jennings for this question.)
Skyfall		In the long history of Bond films, this is only the 4th to get a nomination for Best Original Song. Name one of the previous 3 Bond themes to be nominated.

	this is even harder since it is in the music category.

	@bojan: Whoops! That's what happens when I write an Oscar quiz while watching the Grammys.

	Hilary Swank and Judi Dench's first names are both mispelled.

	Was glad to see this series continue. Cimarron is misspelled, however. And most film historians consider "No Country for Old Men" to be a Western...

	Still can't believe that "Goldfinger" wasn't nominated for Best Song.

	Moulin Rouge is not a remake

	@survivorfan: Spellings corrected. @Floydpink: Cimarron corrected, and I've added a date range to ensure tradition Westerns. @DarkPhlanx: I'd argue that when 2 films with the same title are both about the love affair between Toulouse-Lautrec and a performer at a nightclub, the latter qualifies as a remake. But as there are also major difference, I'll use "re-imagining" instead. THANKS ALL!

	Also, as in last year's version, I open the floor to any suggestions you have for questions on this year's nominations. If you check the comments, you'll see I added several questions based on submissions.

	I'll admit that the "who played Abe Lincoln" question stumped me. But all in all, I personally think the clues are too detailed, and make many of the questions too easy. (Not a bad thing, mind you, but when the title says "Extremely Tough", I expected really obscure stumpers.) The musical Moulin Rouge, of course, is not at all about a love affair between Toulouse-Latrec and anyone; it shares the name only. But "musical retelling" is a perfectly reasonable description; after all, it shares the same setting and at least one of the same characters.

	Awesome quiz, but that title is terrible. I was tempted not to take the quiz because by looking at the title I assumed it was made by some amateur.

	Now, why is it that when you know an answer isn't right, you type it in anyway just to be sure? What part of the brain is telling me, of course the answer isn't Zoolander, but......?
