This year’s Academy Awards ceremony, televised live Sunday night at 7, is expected to be fairly competitive. It should also be pretty entertaining – first-time host Seth MacFarlane is a veteran of comic roasts and doesn’t pull his punches with celebrity jokes.
The object: The blurbs below combine the titles of two or more well-known movies. Can you guess the new mash-up movie title?
Example: Michael J. Fox stars as a time-traveling teenager in this second installment of George Lucas’ original space opera trilogy.
Answer: The Empire Strikes Back to the Future
Note: At least one of the films in each item is an 2013 Oscar nominee in a major category, paired with one or more well-known films from movie history. Remember that titles can be mashed up phonetically as well, e.g. “Nosferatu Kill a Mockingbird.”
