And the points for the Oscars go to.... POTW WQ#198

Right, Queops. It's the Friday before the Thursday and about time we had a POTW. Initially I wanted to let you guess the next FIFA president (or Germany's representative in Stockholm) but what the heck?
Oscar's it is, as announced last week. So whip out your crystal balls and predict the winners in the following categories.

• ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
• DIRECTING
• FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
• MUSIC (ORIGINAL SONG)

..and for a bonus point - how many Oscars will 'The Revenant' get (out of the 12 nominations)? (‪#‎giveortakenothing‬)
Deadline is Sunday 10pm.
GO! 

And then have a wonderful weekend, I will see (some of) you next Thursday.

Here we go again... QuizYear 2016 is GO!

Good morning fellow Queops, and the best wishes for a happy, healthy, peaceful, and quizzical new year. May it bring much fun, and many new friends, entertainment, excitement, new champions and old time-honoured traditions. And may it still leave a few questions unanswered so that we'll always have a reason to meet again.

That said - we start the quiz year with WQ#194 on Thursday, 7 January. 2016. As usual, this one is the big 2015 Review Quiz so do read up on stuff and people that happened and mattered last year.

We still have a few tables, so if you want in - send me a mail.

Quereinsteiger have Yogi (IF they want to play next Thursday) and have to send me their favourite topics by Sunday 9pm.

POTW follows later today.

And now a restful and peaceful New Year's Day, and a lovely first 2016 weekend.
See you soon.

Merry Quizmas

Late to the party as usual but before it's over let me wish y'all a very MerryQuizmas.

It's been a mad year, but fun nonetheless. Thank you for memorable and highly enjoyable Thursdays, Mondays, and Thursdays. For all the help, and for being good sports, and good friends. Thank you for introducing me to, and letting me play with you, and playing with me at BunnyQuiz.

For now best wishes for peaceful, joyful, and hopefully not too quizzical days. Until we meet again (on 7 January 2016) for more mysteries, and madness, and merry-making.

Happy Holidays to you & yours, and a fantastic 2016.

POTW later ;)
