*Introductory theme tune*

Twenty-two is an awful number. Still, let's play Pointless!

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. searching online for answers)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

* offtopic :
The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

Great. You have five categories to choose from. Today, those five are...

ACADEMY AWARD STATISTICS
HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES
LITERARY AWARDS
ROCK ALBUMS
WORLD GEOGRAPHY

All but ACADEMY AWARD STATISTICS have only one sub-category. Which will it be?

Oh hmm.. it's between the first two, but I think I'll have more luck with the second than the first, so...

Hollywood Actresses

"Final"

OK, best of luck! I gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many...

GWYNETH PALTROW FILMS

...as they could. So, I'm looking for any feature film made for cinema release up to the beginning of May 2012, please, for which Gwyneth Paltrow has received an acting credit. As always, no TV films, no short films, or documentaries, but voice performances do count.

Of all the actresses... okay...

Shallow Hal (most likely pointless)
Se7en/Seven (does the spelling matter when there's numbers? ) (middle)
Shakespeare in Love (least likely pointless)

Haha, sorry.

Let's see if your first answer, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE - the one you thought might be least likely to be pointless - is right and how many people said it.

Six! A good score, but not pointless, I'm afraid.

Wow, very surprised about that one. I expected double digits.

Yeah, I don't know what happened there. Not sure I've seen the film myself, but I know she's in it.

Your second answer was SE7EN. Is that right? Is it pointless?

Nine people said 'Se7en'! Just one chance left to find that all important (as they say on the show, but not really because we have no jackpot ) pointless answer.

It would have been much more fitting if 7 people said Se7en.

Your third and final answer is SHALLOW HAL, one of my favourites in my teens. Will it be pointless?

Noo, I'm afraid not. That means you don't win today's jackpot of nothing, but you still did brilliantly anyway.

Cheater138 | 05-11-2014 02:10
lol! I had those all backwards. So how did the Ironman movies score? pretty high? She is NOT a favorite of mine.. other than those umm.. Talented Mr. Ripley or Country Strong? can't say I know any others off the top of my head.

Joeyy | 05-11-2014 02:14
Well they weren't pointless, but surprisingly they only scored 6 (the first) and 4 (the second) points. The third one wouldn't count, as it was only up to 2012.

Hmm. For Gwyneth, I might have gone with:

The Royal Tenenbaums
Bounce
Sliding Doors

I think? lol

Check you out knowing your films.

THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS was pointless.

Cheater138 | 05-11-2014 02:16
I've not seen any of those, Jen.

What about the other two I mentioned, Joey?

zjenn4 | 05-11-2014 02:16
YAY! lol. I wouldn't say she's my favorite actress, but I have seen a lot of Gwyneth movies.

I LOVE The Royal Tenebaums.
That is more my kind of humor.

Oh, sorry, didn't absorb. Neither of those were pointless, sorry. There were quite a few, which probably isn't surprising. The others were

- A PERFECT MURDER
- DUETS
- HOOK
- INFAMOUS
- PROOF
- SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW
- SYLVIA
- THE GOOD NIGHT
- THE PALLBEARER
- AUSTIN POWERS/GOLD MEMBER
- JEFFERSON IN PARIS
- MALICE
- MRS PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE

I think 'Hook' has been a pointless answer relating to her a few times, so bear it in mind in future (and blame me if you say it and it isn't ).
Cheater138

Cheater138 | 05-11-2014 02:26
Yeah.. I've only heard of/seen 3-4 of those. Should have gone with the Oscars category.

It's a pretty hard one in my opinion. I was like, "Yep, lots of film categories to choose from... Oh, but they all kinda suck". Sorry.

Who did she play in 'Hook'? I don't remember her, but it has been a few years.

Yeah the clarinet and the oboe aren't the same haha...on the oboe you just blow on the reed while on the clarinet there's a mouthpiece. The oboe has a reedier sound while the clarinet has a fuller sound.

Didn't realize Hog's Head was actually a thing besides in Harry Potter.

Good job Sarah!

Just looked it up - it seems like she had a pretty minor role in "Hook".
