Never won an oscar

I was going to say Kirk Douglas half an hour ago

Lifetime Achievement Oscar in 1996.

but didn`t because he never won an Oscar

That's why I was careful to write received instead of won.

Fair enough, very very cunning.

Great quiz pokermonster. Thanks

It's a matter of debate whether one classes the lifetime award as being 'won' or not.  That's why I answered as received instead.  If I had answered in the negative I suspect that would have been criticised as well. 

The onus is on the players to choose their 20 questions carefully.  I can only answer YES or NO.

You're very welcome, Mac. 

Good stuff Pokermonster,

Thanks
