[limetimo]

1: what do you prefer to be called name-wise? For English speakers, Amy. But really if you don’t address me by my name ever in your life, that’s fine.

2: when is your birthday? My perception and management of time is so bad I usually realise it’s my birthday only after somebody told me their congrats. I’m a March baby tho!

3: where do you live? The Czech Republic, up in the misty mountains cold... 

4: three things you are doing right now? - Sitting on the kitchen counter - having a mild existentional crisis over how little I know myself and that if I were a fictional character the fandom would write me off as bland boring and whiney and they’d be right - wondering what is wrong with the spelling of “existentional” since it  has the little red wiggle underneath (but too lazy to google check)

5: four fandoms that have piqued your interest? - I’ll never watch SPN but at this point I know more about it than I remember from my high school geography classes. - Once Upon A Time has a really hot Captain Hook. I kinda want to watch it just for that, but I heard the plot was pretty good too. - The Onceler fandom is like the monster under my bed. I know it’s there and I’m afraid. But it is an interesting phenomenon. - apparently one of may favourite book series from when I was 14ish has a show on Netflix. I’m curious about that.

6: how has the pandemic been treating you? Fun-fucking-tastic! I mean, I am stuck in the country side with cats, dogs, goats and ponies. The only way it could be better is if it wasn’t so flipping cold and my mom wasn’t watching me 24/7. The surveillance is a little annoying. But I can always say I’m going out and spend 2-4 hours walking in the forest with the dogs.

7: a song you can’t stop listening to right now? If We Have Each Other by Alec Benjamin. 

8: recommend a movie. I really loved Knives Out (2019); Megamind (2010) is funtastic, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002) makes me cry every time. Oh and The Emperor’s New Goove (2000) and Excalibur: The Quest for Camelot (1998) are my childhood faves! ♥

9: how old are you? As old as Excalibur: Quest for Camelot. 

10: school, university, occupation, other? *cries in got kicked out of uni* *cries in there’s no work in the pandemic* Guess you could say I’m a farm animals caretaker. free-lance translator (for my mom’s website), and a full-time fanfic reader, Kudos-er and comment-er. Oooh, and a shameless enabler for my fanfic writer friends!

11: do you prefer heat or cold? Every good thing comes in moderation... Cold I guess, I can always put on one more sweater.

12: name one fact others may not know about you. Uh... I have a knee-jerk reaction to lie about stupid unimportant stuff when caught off-guard? I’m working on it.

13: are you shy? Yepppp... until we start vibing, or unless I’m tipsy.

14: your pronouns? she/her

15: biggest pet peeves? Dunno... Privacy breaches. Don’t do that.

16: what is your favorite “dere” type? I had to google this since I only know Tsundere and Yandere, but I think I like Dandere or Kuundere the best. 

17: rate your life from 1-10. Objectively? A solid 8, I think. Subjectively... maybe a 6. It’s not bad but I do wish I’ve done many things differently.

18: what’s your main blog? This one!

19: list your side blogs and what they’re used for. There’s only one, rice-and-radish.tumblr.com. It was created by a friend for our roleplay... SigKyun for the win honestly, I grew up so much with them by my side.

20: Is there something people need to know about you before becoming friends? I am SHIT at keeping in touch. If you leave it up to me there’ll be 3 months of radio silence and then a single meme I saw and thought you would like. I don’t even keep up with my non-internet friends very well. I tag @fightingforcreativity​, @general-history-reference​, @that-lonely-littie-star​, @silverlakes​, @gayrainbowbridge​, @malvsworld​, @ceo-of-regulus-black​ and idk, whoever wants to do it!

Blank list of questions here under the cut for your conveniece.

1: what do you prefer to be called name-wise?

2: when is your birthday?

3: where do you live?

4: three things you are doing right now?

Hollywood's Record Holders for Most Oscar Wins

We typically think Meryl Streep when it comes to Oscar records, with the master thespian having amassed an incredible 19 nominations. But when it comes to actual wins, Streep’s not in the record books. Instead you’ll find names both famous (Walt Disney, John Williams, Katharine Hepburn) and less familiar (art director Cedric Gibbons, soundman Gary Rydstrom). As we get ready for Oscar night on Feb. 26, here are the folks who have been awarded the most statuettes. (We’re only counting “competitive” Oscars and not honorary/memorial recognition.)

Walt Disney (22 Oscars)

The man behind the Mouse House holds the all-time record for Academy Award wins (22) and nominations (59). The vast majority of those wins (20, to be exact) came for producing short-form cartoons, while the other two came for producing documentaries. Disney won four alone in 1954, also an Oscars record. (He was also recognized with an additional four honorary awards, including, yes, one for creating Mickey Mouse.) (Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

Cedric Gibbons (11 Oscars)

Not counting short film winners, your all-time Oscar champ would be this art director/production designer whose wins included ‘Pride and Prejudice’ (1940), ‘An American in Paris’ (1951), and ‘Somebody Up There Likes Me’ (1956). Gibbons was nominated, but did not win, for a little film called ‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939). His tally was no doubt helped by the fact that for many years there were two categories that recognized art direction: one for color and one for black-and-white. (Photo: Everett Collection)

Alfred Newman (9 Oscars)

The music composer (not to be confused with ‘Mad Magazine’ poster boy Alfred E. Neuman) had 43 nominations total, ranking him third all time on that list (behind Walt Disney and John Williams). His wins included the famous stage adaptations ‘The King and I’ (1956) and ‘Camelot’ (1967). (Photo: Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

Edith Head (8 Oscars)

Head, a costume designer who frequently worked with Alfred Hitchcock, holds the all-time record for female winners. Her eight Oscars (from 35 nominations) included Best Picture victors ‘All About Eve’ (1950) and ‘The Sting’ (1973), as well as romantic favorites ‘Roman Holiday’ (1953) and ‘Sabrina’ (1954). She was also the inspiration for the beloved animated character Edna Mode in Pixar’s ‘The Incredibles.’ (Photo: AP Photo)

Alan Menken (8 Oscars)

The Disney maestro won two Academy Awards apiece (in the song and score categories) for ‘The Little Mermaid’ (1989), ‘The Beauty and the Beast’ (1991), ‘Aladdin’ (1992), and ‘Pocahontas’ (1995). His only non-Disney nomination (of 19 total) was also his first, for 1986’s musical-horror-comedy ‘Little Shop of Horrors.’ (Photo: Ron Galella, Ltd./WireImage)

Fred Quimby (8 Oscars)

Like Walt Disney, MGM exec Quimby flourished in the animated-short categories, winning all eight of his Oscars in those races. Seven out of eight of those were for ‘Tom and Jerry’ ‘toons. (Photo: AP Photo)

Rick Baker (7 Oscars)

Considered one of film’s all-time greatest creature creators, the makeup artist has an impressive batting average when it comes to the Oscars, winning seven of 11 nominations. Those triumphs included ‘An American Werewolf in London’ (1981), ‘Harry and the Hendersons’ (1987), ‘The Nutty Professor’ (1996), and ‘Men in Black’ (1997). (Photo: Dan MacMedan/WireImage)

Gary Rydstrom (7 Oscars)

Nominated for 17 total Academy Awards in various sound categories over the years, Rydstrom snagged two Oscars apiece for ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ (1991), ‘Jurassic Park’ (1993), and ‘Saving Private Ryan’ (1998), while also taking home a statue for the Best Picture/box-office winner ‘Titanic’ (1997).

Billy Wilder (6 Oscars)

The revered writer-director-producer won three Oscars alone for 1960’s ‘The Apartment’ (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing). He also claimed two trophies for 1945’s ‘The Lost Weekend’ (Best Director, Best Writing) and only one for 1951’s ‘Sunset Boulevard.’ (Best Writing). He received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1988.

Denis Muren (6 Oscars)

The FX ace has worked on every episode of ‘Star Wars’ except one (‘Revenge of the Sith’), and was honored with Special Achievement Awards for ‘Empire Strikes Back’ and ‘Return of the Jedi’ because the Best Visual Effects category didn’t yet exist. His competitive wins include ‘E.T.’ (1982), ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’ (1984), and ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ (1991). So yeah, he’s got a pretty cool résumé. (Photo: AP Photo)

Francis Ford Coppola (5 Oscars)

After earning an Oscar for co-writing the Best Picture-winning war bio ‘Patton’ (1970), Coppola gleaned plenty of gold out from the ‘Godfather’ saga. He shared a Best Writing Oscar with author Mario Puzo for ‘The Godfather’ (1972), then won three statuettes for its 1974 follow-up, ‘The Godfather Part II’ (Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Writing).

John Williams (5 Oscars)

The famed composer has earned a staggering 50 Academy Award nominations, including one last year for ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens.’ He is the most nominated person alive, and second all time to Walt Disney. But amazingly, he’s only won five times, for ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ (1971), ‘Jaws’ (1975), ‘Star Wars’ (1977), ‘E.T.’ (1982), and ‘Schindler’s List’ (1993). (Photo: Getty Images for Capitol Concerts)

John Barry (5 Oscars)

The late composer was responsible for the famous scores to 11 James Bond films, but those netted him exactly zero Oscar nominations (guess he was no Sam Smith?). He was nominated and won for 1966’s ‘Born Free’ (Best Original Song and Best Original Score), ‘The Lion in Winter’ (1968), ‘Out of Africa’ (1985), and ‘Dances With Wolves’ (1990).

Lyle R. Wheeler (5 Oscars)

Known as “the dean of art directors,” Wheeler’s most celebrated work came in 1939’s ‘Gone With the Wind,’ which would earn him his first Academy Award. He also won for ‘Anna and the King of Siam’ (1946), ‘The Robe’ (1953), ‘The King and I’ (1956), and ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ (1959), and nabbed an additional 17 nominations.

Johnny Green (5 Oscars)

Born John Waldo Green but nicknamed “Beulah,” the songwriter-composer won four Oscars for original film scores (including 1961’s ‘West Side Story’ and 1968’s ‘Oliver!’) and a fifth for producing the 1953 symphony-driven short ‘Overture to the Merry Wives of Windsor.’ (Credit: Everett Collection)

Katharine Hepburn (4 Oscars)

The iconic screen star holds the all-time record for most Academy Awards won by an actress. Not only that, all four of her statuettes were won in the lead Best Actress race. She won for her first nomination, ‘Morning Glory’ (1933), and final three — ‘Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner’ (1968), ‘The Lion in Winter ‘(1969), and ‘On Golden Pond’ (1981) — with an additional eight nods in between.

John Ford (4 Oscars)

Ford is the only filmmaker to win four Academy Awards in the Best Director category, collecting those for ‘The Informer’ (1935), ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ (1940), ‘How Green Was My Valley’ (1941), and ‘The Quiet Man’ (1952). Yet he was not even nominated for some of his most famous Westerns, including ‘The Searchers’ (1956) and ‘The Man Who Shot the Liberty Valence’ (1962). (Photo: Getty Images)

Joseph Ruttenberg and Leon Shamroy (4 Oscars)

Rutternberg (a 10-time nominee who won for ‘The Great Waltz,’ ‘Mrs. Miniver,’ ‘Somebody Up There Likes Me,’ and ‘Gigi’) and Shamroy (an 18-time nominee who won for ‘The Black Swan,’ ‘Wilson,’ ‘Leave Her to Heaven,’ and ‘Cleopatra’) share the record for most Oscars in Best Cinematography.

Woody Allen (4 Oscars)

Allen won two Oscars for his breakout rom-com, ‘Annie Hall’ (1977), including his only Best Director statuette to date. But he’s also in a five-way tie in the record for most screenwriting wins, having earned gold for ‘Annie Hall,’ ‘Hannah and Her Sisters’ (1986), and ‘Midnight in Paris’ (2011). He has 24 nominations total.

Jack Nicholson (3 Oscars)

If you’ve ever wondered why Jack always gets the best seats in the house on Oscar night… his 12 nominations is a record for male actors. He’s also one of only three men to win three acting Academy Awards, having snagged Best Supporting Actor for ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ (1975) and ‘Terms of Endearment’ (1983), and Best Actor for ‘As Good as It Gets’ (1997).

Daniel Day-Lewis (3 Oscars)

Day-Lewis, however, is the only man to have won three Academy Awards for Best Actor. Those came for his highly acclaimed performances in ‘My Left Foot’ (1989), ‘There Will Be Blood’ (2007), and ‘Lincoln’ (2012). Day-Lewis has five nominations since 1990, despite only having appeared in 12 films in that time. (Photo: AP Photo)

Walter Brennan (3 Oscars)

In good company with Nicholson and Day-Lewis is Western legend Brennan, who earned four Oscar nominations over the course of six years and won for three of those: ‘Come And Get It’ (1936), ‘Kentucky’ (1938), and ‘The Westerner’ (1940). He lost for 1941’s ‘Sergeant York.’ (Photo: Getty Images)

Charles Brackett and Paddy Chayefsky (3 Oscars)

Two more who are included in that five-way tie for most screenwriting wins, along with Billy Wilder, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen: Brackett, who co-wrote ‘The Lost Weekend’ and ‘Sunset Boulevard’ with Wilder, as well as ‘Titanic’ (1953); and Chayefsky, who penned ‘Marty’ (1955), ‘The Hospital’ (1971), and ‘Network’ (1976).
