Maybe you don't watch a lot of movies or you just have a really, really bad memory. At least you guessed all the James Bond films correctly because they were dead giveaways, right?

You can't know everything.

The Disney movies and the James Bond films made this not so bad. As for those other movies, you had no idea what they were — and that's okay. It's not like you ever had any interest in watching them anyway.

You have a particular taste.

Be proud of yourself. You know a good amount of Best Original Song winners, at least the most important ones. You might need to brush up on some of the more obscure ones, but overall, you're pretty balanced.

You did your best!

Great job! You guessed more than just obvious answers, and that says a lot about your film knowledge. You have a great memory, and most of them consist of you sitting down in front of a movie with a bowl of popcorn singing along to the end credits.

You're a lucky runner-up.

Dang! You're basically a voting member of the Academy at this point. You knew the easy ones, the hard ones, the new movies, and the old. You're a film buff, but not just any film buff — you appreciate a really good soundtrack, and that says a lot about you.

You're an Academy Award winner!

You earned the bragging rights. You know your stuff when it comes to movies and music. Maybe I should've made this quiz harder, but then again, you're so damn good — you'd still win.

Perfect Score!
