The Losers' RSQ

Martin Kemp released a song as a part of Spandau Ballet?

Is that him releasing a song or is it the band releasing it?

8. Someone who lost a famous court case.

I deliberately left this open for civil or criminal cases. Even still, of all the numerous court cases that have occurred, two of you picked the same person and two others picked the same other person.

Paris Hilton a TV actress?

I just picked the telly control up. Does that make me a weightlifter?

The Simple Life.

You must know it. Coined the well known phrase 'do you love it?'

9. A movie actor, living or dead, who never won an Oscar.

When you look at how many top actors have never won Oscars, it seems like there are more who have not won than those who have won. Most of you didn't pick from the most famous actors though, playing it safe with lower level British ones. I was a bit disappointed that two of those who did nominate very famous ones went for the same person and got an extra point.

These are just a selection of the losers who have never won an Oscar:

Clint Eastwood
Donald Sutherland
Richard Harris
Cary Grant
Peter Sellers
Richard Burton
Tom Cruise
Robert Redford
Gene Kelly
Bob Hope
Tony Curtis
Jim Carrey
Gene Wilder
Charlie Chaplin
Christopher Lloyd
Peter O'Toole
Liam Neeson
Warren Beatty
Leonardo DiCaprio
Colin Farrell
Fred Astaire
Orson Welles
Omar Sharif
James Mason
Robert Mitchum
Errol Flynn
Vincent Price
Brad Pitt
Will Smith
Kirk Douglas
Kevin Bacon
Johnny Depp
Greta Garbo
Marilyn Monroe
Rita Hayworth
Shirley Temple
Ava Gardner
Carole Lombard
Lauren Bacall
Natalie Wood
Debbie Reynolds
Barbara Stanwyck
Michelle Pfeiffer
Glenn Close
Sigourney Weaver
Doris Day
Judy Garland
Deborah Kerr
Myrna Loy
Mae West
Marlene Dietrich

Paris Hilton a TV actress?

I just picked the telly control up. Does that make me a weightlifter?

The Simple Life.

You must know it. Coined the well known phrase 'do you love it?'

That was a reality show, no? She was Paris Hilton in that. Her imdb entry does have a few credits as an actress; usually one episode as "pouty supermodel" or something similar.

Not what she's famous for

That was being the great granddaughter of Conrad Hilton and heiress to a megafortune.

[MintTrav]

Whoops, forgot about the person who didn't pass.

He's getting Q10 as a Pass.

Doesn't affect the result.

I believe it was a mixture of reality and 'set ups'. I can remember Paris and Nicole having many big dramatic, clearly scripted, fall outs and then having to wait til the next episode to see if they made up again.

That's the kind of knowledge that gets aces in RSQs
