The Academy Awards were last week, but we spent last week noodling over leap years and leap day birthday parties. That's OK; a late Oscar-themed puzzle is better than no puzzle at all! And who knows? Maybe the Oscars are still going; I fell asleep so I'm not sure.
Below are three Best Picture winners, their names scrambled to phrases that have pretty much nothing to do with the movie (well, maybe if you stretch it a bit). All movies are recent (since 2000). After each scrambled title is the number of letters in each word of the real title. Can you figure out the best movie winners?
- GOLD TIARA (9; i.e., one 9-letter word)
- LAMB LADY OR BILLION (7,6,4)
- HATED RED PET (3,8)
And the Oscar goes to... (the answer after the break)
