These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-11-20,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

I wrote one of these rounds.

* Game 9, Round 7 - Sports - Defunct NHL Franchise Locations

An NHL team is not always a big money-maker for itself or its city.
Although the league has had periods of stability, there have also
been many times when teams decamped for greener pastures or just
failed outright. In each case, we give you a team's name, and
you identify the city (or other place name) that it represented
when it had that name.

Please be careful with the table-talk, as some teams and cities
have managed to fail more than once and may appear twice in this
round under different names; also, some teams have the same name
as a team in another league, or have themselves played in another
league at some time. This round is only talking about the NHL.

1. Seals, also called the Golden Seals.
2. Barons.
3. Pirates.
4. Quakers.
5. Rockies.
6. Thrashers.
7. Tigers.
8. Americans.
9. Nordiques.
10. Jets.

* Game 9, Round 8 - Entertainment - Their Only Acting Oscar

For the benefit of any teams that need to make up a lot of points
-- or of people who wish we had more freedom to keep things more
interesting by asking occasionally for two-part answers --
*Rounds 8 and 9 of this game will each be bonus rounds.*

Each question on these rounds will ask for two facts. If you give
one of them, you get the regular score, but if you give both, you
get a 2-point bonus. Warning: if you try for the bonus and fail to
get both facts right, then your answer is wrong.

If making two guesses, you may try for the bonus on either or both.
Please make it explicit how you are answering.

On this round, each question is about a person who has *only once*
won an Oscar for acting and it was either Best Actor or Best
Actress, no supporting roles. We will tell you the decade when
the relevant movie was released, and we'll list several *other*
roles played by the same person through their career.

*No points for naming the person.* The two facts we're asking
for are the name of the *movie* they won the Oscar for, and the
name of their *character* in the movie. For your normal score,
name either one; for the bonus, name both.

1. He also played Rhett Butler, sailor Fletcher Christian, and bar
owners Blackie Norton and Blackie Gallagher; but he won Best
Actor for a 1930s movie. To repeat, for normal score, either
name the *movie* he won for, or his *character* in the movie;
for the bonus, name both.

2. He also played sales executive C.R. MacNamara, outlaws Cody
Jarrett and Jim Kincaid, and police commissioner Rhinelander
Waldo; but he won Best Actor for a 1940s movie.

3. He also played naval officer Philip Queeg, bar owner Rick Blaine,
and detectives Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade; but he won Best
Actor for a 1950s movie.

4. He also played newsmen Joe Bradley and Phil Schuyler Green,
commando Keith Mallory, and sea captain Ahab; but he won Best
Actor for a 1960s movie.

5. She also played Evelyn Mulwray, Bonnie Parker, Joan Crawford,
and Serena Joy; but she won Best Actress for a 1970s movie.

6. He also played Billy the Kid, Nobel-winning author Andrew Craig,
General Leslie Groves, and lawyer Frank Galvin; but he won Best
Actor for a 1980s movie.

7. She also played Emma Woodhouse, Margot Tenenbaum, reporter Polly
Perkins, and assistant Pepper Potts; but she won Best Actress
for a 1990s movie.

8. He also played Jor-El, policeman Bud White, boxer Jim Braddock,
and naval captain Jack Aubrey. But he won Best Actor for a
2000s movie. (That means 2000-09.)

9. He also played Howard Hughes, Amsterdam Vallon, Jack Dawson,
and Frank Abagnale ["AB-ag-nail"] Jr.; but he won Best Actor
for a 2010s movie.

10. Oops, we ran out of complete decades during the time that Oscars
have existed. Okay, this person won Best Actress for *either*
a 1920s or a 2020s movie, but we won't tell you which. She also
played Maya Harris, Molly Bloom, Melissa Lewis, and Murph Cooper.

> * Game 9, Round 8 - Entertainment - Their Only Acting Oscar

> For the benefit of any teams that need to make up a lot of points
> -- or of people who wish we had more freedom to keep things more
> interesting by asking occasionally for two-part answers --
> *Rounds 8 and 9 of this game will each be bonus rounds.*

> Each question on these rounds will ask for two facts. If you give
> one of them, you get the regular score, but if you give both, you
> get a 2-point bonus. Warning: if you try for the bonus and fail to
> get both facts right, then your answer is wrong.

> If making two guesses, you may try for the bonus on either or both.
> Please make it explicit how you are answering.

> On this round, each question is about a person who has *only once*
> won an Oscar for acting and it was either Best Actor or Best
> Actress, no supporting roles. We will tell you the decade when
> the relevant movie was released, and we'll list several *other*
> roles played by the same person through their career.

> *No points for naming the person.* The two facts we're asking
> for are the name of the *movie* they won the Oscar for, and the
> name of their *character* in the movie. For your normal score,
> name either one; for the bonus, name both.

> 1. He also played Rhett Butler, sailor Fletcher Christian, and bar
