February 17 edit

Does Domhnall Gleeson have a new Oscar record for appearing in several films nominated the same year? edit

For the 88th Academy Awards, films whose cast includes Domhnall Gleeson collectively have 22 nominations. Is that a record for an actor/actress in one year? And has any actor/actress appeared in more than four movies that each received multiple nominations in the same year? I'm sure someone can answer this pretty quickly, if they've datamined IMDb for all Oscar-nominated movies. Mathew5000 (talk) 03:58, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to look into the 23rd Academy Awards. Two films in that one year accounted for 25 nominations between them, All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard. If there was any crossover between the films, you'd have best that record. --Jayron32 04:22, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good thought. IMDb common cast/crew search gives three cast members: Franklyn Farnum, Gertrude Astor, and Harold Miller. However, those appearances were all uncredited except for Farnum in Sunset Blvd. Mathew5000 (talk) 05:07, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Night Hunter film song edit

Any idea what's this song in the club scene from Night Hunter? Google, Shazam and WatZatSong all do not know for some reason. Brandmeistertalk 14:18, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The song's almost certainly "Oblivion". Aside from that, I've got nothing. Annie Lennox? InedibleHulk (talk) 16:32, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
