Academy Awards quiz - 0 Comments

This year’s Academy Awards are already notorious for omitting Ben Affleck as a best director nominee, even though his fact-based thriller “Argo” has won several best picture prizes and is the favorite to take the best picture Oscar.

If “Argo” does win the big one, and that’s the only Oscar it takes home, it would be only the fourth time a film won best picture and nothing else. What were the others? “The Broadway Melody,” followed by “Grand Hotel” in 1932 and “Mutiny on the Bounty” in 1936.

Welcome to our new commenting system

You may have noticed that comments look a little different on BostonHerald.com. We’ve switched to Disqus, a commenting system that we hope will give you more options to voice your thoughts and share your opinions with other readers.

 

You are still required to provide at least an email address to comment on our site, but now you can comment by connecting your Disqus, Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus accounts also. Comments not associated with a verified account will be held for review, so to keep the conversation flowing, you'll want to use one of the verified methods.

 

You can now respond directly to a specific comment by clicking “reply.” All conversations stemming from one comment will have their own thread, making discussions neater and more focused. You can also vote specific comments up or down, and share them more easily on your favorite social network. Clicking “newest” in the top left of the discussion panel also sorts comments by newest, oldest, or best-rated.

 

Disqus has a help section and knowledge base if you'd like to learn more.

 

Happy Commenting,

The Boston Herald staff
