Doofus!

OK, sticking with your favourite subject UP ... films (there's also a small chance I've asked this before).

Which film employed the most extras for a scene?

Gandhi ? Zulu ?

Sorry 2 guesses there.

Ben Hur?

Yes, it's Gandhi, 300,000 odd extras for the funeral scene.

Over to Harry.

What is the most that an an Oscar winner can legitimately sell his/her statuette for ?

I was pretty sure that I'd asked it already, but Harry was in there with a guess before I could cover my tracks!

I'll guess $100

doofus, right back atcha.

is it the carat value of the bullion?

I'll put my foot in it probably, and say 24.

How about nothing- do they remain the property of the academy?

harry 3 · Post by **harry 3** » Tue May 29, 2007 1:08 pm

I will have to give it to The Hornby. Acceptance of the Oscar means that they can not sell the statue unless they offer it back to the Academy for $1. Non-acceptance means that ownership reverts back to the presenters.

Hmm not really sure I got that correct in the technical sense but here goes...

At which international sporting arena can one find The Hornby Stand?

So if they decline the oscar (has that often/ever happened?) Then it stays with the 'presenters'? Ie: p.diddy is selected to give outstanding contribution to porn to Jenna, she declines, so he keeps it?!
