Friday Funday Trivia: Before They Were Oscar Winners II

 

In honor of The Academy Awards (which airs this Sunday), this week's quiz features 3 montages of 15 photos of  Oscar winners when they were young. You have to correctly identify the person.  Please note that not everyone in the quiz won Oscars for acting.  To enlarge the montages, click on them. 

Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total). Also, instead of the normal 3, there are 6  bonus questions totaling 15 pts.

If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:

* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family/co-workers, etc. for help,  is not allowed.

* If you are the only player to correctly identify a photo/photo set, you earn 5 bonus points. The first player to submit their final answers to me will earn 2 bonus points.

* Please do not post your answers in the comments section. Instead, send them to ultfan@gmail.com no later than Sunday night (2/24) at 11:59 PM EST. The answers will be posted on Monday, February 25th.

Not an official rule: If you have no clue, feel free to come up with an intentionally funny answer. Although you won't get credit for a correct answer, you'll get a thumbs up from me for originality, execution, and showmanship. What can I say, I love to be entertained and I'll take it any way I can get it!
