Pop quiz time!

Time to rack your brains, for that is the best way to get past this lull. Firing away three questions... for answers, scroll down a little.

Q1) Only 2 actors have ever won the Academy Award posthumously. One was of course Heath Ledger who was awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in 2009's The Dark Knight. The obvious question is, who was the other? 

Q2) Sylvester Stallone achieved fame quite early on in his career thanks to the smash hit  Rocky which released in 1976. But few know that his first leading role in feature films was in fact for a softcore pornography film. What is the title of the film?

Q3) Robert De Niro and Al Pacino have been the stalwarts of their times in Hollywood. They have featured together in three feature films so far in their careers. Can you name all three?

A1) It was interestingly another Australian actor, Peter Finch who played one of the craziest and most memorable roles, that of a television anchorman in 1976's Network which won him an Academy Award for Best Actor. Sadly, he died of a heart attack in January 1977, only two months before the Academy Awards function. 

A2) The Party at Kitty and Stud's; yeah, that is the name of Stallone's first film and guess what his character's name was!? Stud! After the success of Rocky, the creators of The Party at Kitty and Stud's re-released it as Italian Stallion to cash in on Stallone's popularity. 

A3) The thought of De Niro and Pacino sharing the same screen could make any movie watcher's heart leap. And yet, their possibly best work together would be in a movie wherein they never shared screen time together, The Godfather: Part II. In 1995, the duo reunited for the classic film Heat featuring them on the opposite sides of the law. In 2008, the now aged duo came together in Righteous Kill where they both were cop detectives.
