Final J! yesterday (1/29/20) was one of those questions that probably 3/4 of ST would get immediately. (spoilers)

Naturally, none of the contestants knew it.

Category: 21st Century Oscar Winners
(Me: "I bet everything! I bet twice everything! Is that allowed?"

Clue: This man won Best Supporting Actor twice, both for films that won Best Picture
(Me: "Oh these folks have no chance.")

It was so easy and then Alex was all 'yeah, this is a hard one. Just spelling his name is tough'... -- nm* - Diva Jan 30, 07:16 12
- He was wrong twice there. It was a really easy question and his name isn't difficult to spell. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 07:48 11
  - My opinion, but he was only wrong once. (Spelling is easy) -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 08:16
  - I put it in the specialized knowledge category. Difficult for gen pop, but he's a 2x winner in a category J! likes to use so a Thing Worth Knowing - Beron Cherry Jan 30, 07:52 5
    - You gotta know your Oscar trivia for J! but also, it was very recent which I thought would make it even easier. Plus, Mahershala has been in the news - Krusty Jan 30, 08:01 4
      - Totally agree. It's a standard J! category used with frequency like Shakespeare or British Monarchs. -- nm - Beron Cherry Jan 30, 08:08 3
        
        Do they mix it, like "This British monarch has is the one with the most performances nominated for an Oscar." - Marlowe Jan 30, 08:11 2
        
        good question! good question! -- nm - mud Jan 30, 08:19
        
        Looks like that's never been asked. (But that's a great question) -- nm* - Reagen Jan 30, 08:18
  - Thank you - agreed. The spelling of his first name is easily phonetic. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 07:49 3
    - The problem is with his surname.. - Marlowe Jan 30, 08:00 1
      - Haha! -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 08:02
    - Exactly. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 07:51
That was a rare final Jeopardy that I knew immediately and that also no one on the show got right. Felt good. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 07:04 4
- and also...Eff 'Green Book'. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 07:25 3
  - Yep! (NM) - Marlowe Jan 30, 07:59
  - Word! -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 07:47
  - I was waiting for someone to say this. :) -- nm - Beron Cherry Jan 30, 07:27
I'm in the 1/4. I guessed wrong and wouldn't have gotten it if I had 5 more minutes -- nm - prayformojo Jan 30, 07:00 4
- I hate blanking on a thing you know you know. Could not for the life of me think of Idi Amin during the test. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 07:20 3
  - Mine was Jung - spamlet Jan 30, 07:25 1
    - Perhaps you should've consulted the collective unconscious. -- nm* - Beron Cherry Jan 30, 07:49
  - Please, I'm at work right now blanking on stuff. getting older is the worst. :) -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 07:24
