I Write The Questions Electric

OSCARS and SUCH

1/ What was the only movie rated X to receive an Academy Award nom?

2/ In the above movie, two actors were nomed for best. Who were they?

3/ What Academy best actress winner made less than $5000 salary for her work in 1999?

4/ In 1973, a comedy upset the front-runner for most Oscars. What were the two films, and who won the day?

ANSWERS LAST TIME OUT

1/ Ringo Starr shouting "I've got blisters on me fingers," after completing the marathon take.

2/ To best the Who, who claimed to have made the heaviest record ever, in early 1968.

3/ Believe it or not, Charlie invited the Fabs to join The Family, at last according to the book, Helter Skelter, based on the Manson case and trial.

4/ The mono HS is a minute shorter, is sped up, has a louder lead vocal, and contains weird beeping sounds throughout, that the stereo version is lacking.

5/ Believe it or not, again, yes, HS was on the B side of the reissue of Got To Get You Into My Life, circa 1976. Due to the publicity surrounding the CBS TV movie Helter Skelter, of course no AM radio station dared to play it. And a bizarre choice indeed to accompany a jaunty tune like Life.
