Scores

   Full marks. You are a genius, albeit a genius with very narrow parameters. That probably shouldn’t be a point of pride for you, but beggars can’t be choosers. Well done!

2. 40 and above.

   Pretty good! You know an awful lot about the Oscars, don’t you? And yet you are never going to win one. What a cruel mistress the universe can be sometimes.

3. 0 and above.

   Dismal. It’s like you don’t even watch the Oscars. Think of all those hardworking actors you’ve just upset. Shame on you.

4. 11 and above.

   You did OK. You have not retained every single piece of Oscars arcana you’ve ever heard, but you know enough to get you through a boring conversation with your awful friends. That’s enough.
