    Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood?

  2. Jacqui Lipton

    Yes, that's one of them. 6 to go…

  3. Tim Zinnecker

    Renee Zellweger — Cold Mountain

  4. Jacqui Lipton

    I should have clarified that these actors are all men – so Zellweger may be correct, but I meant to limit the Q to men.

  5. Tim Zinnecker

    Sorry. My misread.

    Jamie Foxx — Ray.

  6. Jacqui Lipton

    That is correct indeed. 5 to go…

    Anthony Hopkins – Silence of the Lambs?

  8. Tim Zinnecker

    Heath Ledger? (Batman movie)

  9. Jacqueline Lipton

    Heath Ledger is correct (The Dark Knight), but not Hopkins or Kingsley.

  10. Jacqueline Lipton

    OK – here's some hints. All of the remaining four were relatively recent and two of them occurred in the same year ie one best actor and one best supporting actor. One of the correct answers (above) is half of the pair that won all the performing awards in the same year.

    Javier Bardem for No Country for Old Men?

  12. Tim Zinnecker

    Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Capote).
    Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds).

  13. Jacqui Lipton

    Yes, that's all of them. Well done!

  14. Jacqui Lipton

    Oops – sorry. I left out the last one. Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland…
