I cannot explain why General knowledge questions listed ten Oscars and others, four sources to be fair, listed eleven. Jane, you are right, and I apologize.  The questions and correct answers are as listed below.

In honor of all those who've gone before, I present a new quiz. Same rules, two questions to begin with and Googling is allowed and expected if all else fails. Enjoy.
