Congratulations to Matt, Neuro and all the players.
One thing that was hard about this was that I have never really differentiated between oscar winners and nominees. I have a pretty good idea who has been OSCARED , but I have not separated out the winners.
So as I said, getting on tge scoreboard felt pretty successful!

That WAS fun. Wish I got here earlier. I'm so glad to know that the Games will go on. I knew the geniuses at Garth Amalgamated would find a way to keep cranking them out. I hope their boss gives them all huge Christmas bonuses.

Of course the staff will be receiving Christmas Bonuses, Jervis.
Next week each and every one of them will be receiving a gift card for five dollars off for a Wayback double cheeseburger.
For all their heroic efforts, they deserve no less.

Congratulations to Matt, Neuro and all the players. One thing that was hard about this was that I have never really differentiated between oscar winners and nominees. I have a pretty good idea who has been OSCARED , but I have not separated out the winners. So as I said, getting on tge scoreboard felt pretty successful! Right you are Marsha, We have been playing with Oscar ed performers for so long that we have started to think of all of them as Oscar WINNERS. (Boy, if the losers at the Oscar ceremony only knew...we GG players have stated to think of them all as winners, but they aren't.) Another thing that was hard was that several of the linking performers that we were searching for were also in the BLUE numbered list. So, we had yet another hurtle: trying to decide how to group the answers. For example: Bring Crosby was number 024 on the number list, but he was also the link to 007. Ethel Barrymore / 119. Jane Wyman -- BING CROSBY in JUST FOR YOU and Henry Fonda was number 040 on the number list, but he was also the link to 016. James Cagney / 066. Jack Lemmon -- HENRY FONDA in MR. ROBERTS, etc. So, when Matt said something like, "almost there with this one, Kijii -- just a bit of re-shuffling needed," he was saying more than just a little thing since Peggy Ashcroft, Glenda Jackson and Peter Finch were all on the numbered list..so who matches and who links for SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY?  It was a hard game to play, but it must have been very hard to construct too!!! I'm still waiting for a games with Mo'Nique or Harold Russell in them  |
