I. THE SET-UP:
-- Listed below in BLUE are the FIRST TWO LETTERS of 80 FILM CHARACTER FIRST NAMES.
-- Listed below them in RED are the FIRST and LAST INITIALS of 160 OSCARED (Winning or Nominated) ACTORS.
-- Two of the ACTORS can be linked in a unique way.
-- They shared the same FIRST NAME of the CHARACTER they were Oscared (W or N) for portraying.
II. THE CHALLENGE:
-- MATCH the two INITIALED OSCARED (W/N) ACTORS, IDENTIFY the shared CHARACTER NAME, and list both FILM TITLES.
-- Only ONE entry per post and just THREE consecutive postings until another Player participates.
-- A helpful Posting Procedure along with an equally instructive Example are both posted below.
-- Duplicate postings will be determined by the earlier time stamp.
-- Both LINKING ACTORS will be united with their shared FIRST NAME in PINK when solved, along with the name of the clever Player who matched them.
-- A 2-Point BONUS ROUND will follow the completion of the Regular Contest ... 3-Plus Sign-ins needed to begin.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to change a response ... repost it instead (this vehicle cannot make U-turns).
-- Scores will appear below in PURPLE.
_______________________________________________________________________
III. THE POSTING EXAMPLE:
a) List the two ACTOR INITIALS and the shared CHARACTER NAME
Ex.: MB & ST = STANLEY
b) List the two FILM TITLES, the two CHARACTER FULL NAMES,
and both ACTORS in their OSCARED (W or N) Performances.
Ex.: A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE -- 'Stanley Kowalski' (Marlon Brando)
FATHER OF THE BRIDE -- 'Stanley Banks' (Spencer Tracy)
Don't worry about the numbering of the Character Letters ... the QM will handle that.
