Could this crossword BE any more fun?
Personal Best for a Monday: 3 min 21 sec. No lookups or hints. Just a good, clean solve because, after all, this is NOT MY FIRST RODEO.
@brettcephalon Yes, she did win Best Director. The clue is correct.
Wordplay used to open in my NYT app, leaving my Games app separate so I could easily move back and forth to and from the puzzle. Developers, bring it back!
Always happy to have occasion to remember my favorite opening line to a Roger Ebert review: “PEARL HARBOR is a two hour movie squeezed into three hours how, on December 7, 1941, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on an American love triangle.”
@Amy Before I got any crosses, I debated if it was going to be SPIDEY SENSE (classic Marvel universe term) or “Peter Tingle,” which also fits the space and is what it’s playfully called in the MCU.
@brettcephalon See other replies. It’s very common to refer to the year of release when discussing the Academy Awards, since that’s the year’s efforts being celebrated. (Even if it was a little odd specifically for the 2020 ceremony being held in late-April and also allowing Jan-Feb 2021 films in contention, all due to COVID impact.)
@David Exactly where I learned it! A-G-L-E-T / Don’t forget it!
Ok, hands up. Who else knew 10D because of “Hamilton?”
